I Didn't Know I Loved You ('Til I Saw You Rock And Roll).mpg

This great Glitter Band performance is taken from a gig at the Plaza Ballroom in Glasgow in 1989. The band always performed this song so well. I persuaded Gerry to record it which he agreed to, despite the politics, but unfortunately it never happened. Would have been a great track to have.

I don't remember them performing this at the Marquee gig. I was there. It's certainly not on the album. To my recollection Gerry introduced the song into the live set after Springy left the band. Gerry and I had discussed recording the song as a test for a new cd. It took a while to convince him, even before GG became disgraced. He loved the song but wasn't sure about recording a GG song.

Anyway, enough about that, it's a great song and they always performed it so well.

@Glitterbandits Many thanks for the upload. Do you have any more from this gig. Gerry always loved going up to Glasgow and having a good curry up there too with his mate Martin

[Glitterbandits]

@ggspotter Yep, I have the rest of the gig and more, it's just a matter of the time it takes to convert them and then upload  them. I'll try my best.

Thanks so much for brilliant footage, Gerry & John working great together, it's a fave clip of mine after many years of seeing them live. The band always performed it better alone! In the early-mid 80's they regularly performed most of the vocals to earn a living-carrying a less than perfect performer who'd become a caricature style parody of himself, but intrigued enough to sell tickets. The band worked HARD night on night.

Incidentally, they recorded this on 'Live @ The Marquee' too 1985/6 x
