[MrRdub7162]

[jjmc60]

I saw him in Manchester in '78 and he opened up with this. Sounded just like the Dominoes. Great post! TU

[Bigrusssthefuss]

yeah in his autobiography he said the whole 70's were his heavy heavy heavy drug years! Valium, Dope, Pot, Cocaine, And of course.....ALCOHOL!!!!!

[claptongroupie]

@Bigrusssthefuss yes and at one point at a show he said he had to lay down with the microphone to finish the song ...but he was still damn good...

[Bigrusssthefuss]

@claptongroupie I read that in his biography, he said he "no one seemed to mind"

[BluesyImran]

he does look pretty smashed. he probably was.

[mitchcricketstar100]
