I also saw them in the early 70s, at Friers in Aylesbuy, one of the best live acts I have ever seen! Mountain Queen was purchaced within days, and I am still playing it (now in cd form) at least every week. Alquin have enhanced my life!
Saw Alquin in early 70s supporting Golden Earring. Apart from Radar Love GE were disappointing whereas Alquin were a discovery. An acquired taste, the album is compelling with moments of brilliance. After 35 years here they are again. Cheers expoonation!
I also saw them, 73 I think, birmingham town hall, after they finished I thought Golden Earring can,t follow that, and I was right, bought this album the day after and it stlll gets played today.
Worse than that I can see myself sinking in my seat fingers over my ears, Golden Earring's sound was terrible, ear shattering!!! I did the same, bought the album as quickly as possible. I see below they still exist. I'd see them again happily.
While I think of it I'd like to see Focus live. I never did in their heyday. Moving Waves was a beautiful album, Eruption is so evocative of certain 'moments' in my late teens. Nuff said.
Alquin live on stage Utopia-Elsloo on 17.08.1973

Discovered Alquin via 'Whispering' Bob Harris on the Old Grey Whistle Test. A great band, a great song.

What I remember about the Golden Earring set was everything was too loud exept the vocals, which could hardly be heard at all, awful stuff.
