Genesis's Peter Gabriel and Lindisfarne's Rod Clements discuss life on the road during The Famous Charisma Label's Six-Bob Tour, also featuring Van Der Graaf Generator.
Great clip! I co-wrote the book on VdGG and loved seeing it.
Genesis opened the show, Lindisfarne went on second (they always went down well even when the other two bands didn't), and VdGG headlined. There were many nights when VdGG and/or Genesis were well received, and the tour did catapult VdGG into the spotlight for a time; they appeared on the cover Melody Maker as "Britain's Most Fashionable Band". Lindisfarne went on to be big stars later that year.

Brilliant tour for all 3 bands!
