Me and my mate Stuart stayed behind to look after the band's transit van while they went off to do the Redcar gig. Missed the action but an honour to be part of the scene in those days. OUT DEMONS OUT.
@brillo421 Hiya, you may hear Edgar at the start say "We wrote this after Redcar".
I was arrested with The Broughtons at a police aborted free concert broken up in July 1971 at Redcar in County of Cleveland (Teesside). We spent the night in Redcar Jail and appeared at South Bank Magistrates the next day. The magistrates didn't believe a word I said and called me a liar against the made up notebook account of Sergeant Maloney of Stockton Police force. Still good friends and keerp in contact.
@Redcarjail Oh yeah Motorhead and the pink fairies. The Only time I saw The Broughtons but they were brilliant. I was well stoned and on mushrooms. I think I found The Broughtons via John Peel on Saturday afternoons.
Me too. One of the first albums I ever bought. Great album. Tracks by the Grease Band, Barclay James Harvest, Roy Harper, The Move. I was only 13. I think I sold it. Shame. It's probably worth a fortune now.
First time I heard this one !? In Forum Cinema, Bergen Norway. 1971 ! I was too young for the show, but I was there !!! Great concert, and we even managed to steal an empty drumbox !? (With EBB on it)
sounds like hes rippin off Beefheart

Damn, this song touches on greatness. It could be rock, blues, rock/psychobilly.

Early EBB is like Beefheart but by the third (meat) album they'd really found their own sound.
