I remember my introdcution. Dick said "and now on piano........." and clearly couldn't remember who I was, and then "the man himself.....(frantic prompting from the band.....Chris Gardner"
Nice to see me on Youtube. Rik, where did you get this clip? I was aware that Jason Pittham had videoed most of the show (at least until he was overcome by emotion). Have you got any more numbers from it?
Dave H. suppliied me with the tapes shot with Marshall's camcorder and also I think Joey's. Some songs are not complete, but I'll upload the best of them. Look out in the next installment for your introduction!
This was the very first original Jodimars/Comets gig outside USA since the 50s/60s. On later tours as the Original Comets they also had original lead guitarist Fran Beecher and drummer Dick Richards played rather than "just" sang as at Brean.
wish I was there saw them with my dad at the philly hall of fame awards!

Thanks for posting this, Rik. Who are the other musicians - are they Stargazers? That looks like Ricky Lee Brawn on drums but it's hard to tell.

Yes it was Ricky & Pete from the Stargazers.

I still have the Brean programme somewhere...
GREAT STUFF RIK, thanks a lot !!
