Paul Rogers just doesnt it for me hes no Freddie and no one can ever replace him. |

As Phil Collins said with a smile, you don't get too many like Freddie  Mr Bulsara cannot be replaced but it is possible to ignore Rogers and admire the quality of the music. Funnily enough another queen nearly matched Mercury when George Michael performed Somebody to Love at the Wembley tribute concert. |

Booed off the stage. Three months later they were the biggest band in the world. That's Peterborough folk for ya. |

Have you ever visited planet earth Check it out, it's true. It was a Friday night and when they opened the Town Hall the next day it was flooded out because some cock had blocked the sinks up in the bogs and left the taps running all night. www.queenconcerts.com/detail/live/71/queen-live-22-12-1973-town-hall-peterborough-uk.htmlThough the writers memory is not that good as they were booed off the stage. I was there. I booed. They were rubbish. Looks like I made a mistake it was a Saturday. Elton John xmas gig at the Hammersmith Odeon was the same night and if I remember rightly was broadcast on BBC2 at about 11:00pm. Caught the last bus home from outside M&S and got home just in time to see it. I even recorded it on cassette, think it's in the loft. Happy days. |

On a par with Fleetwood Mac at Cowbit. Can't believe I don't remember that - have you got any more info please - ie. when and where? It was on the first floor of the Town Hall. As you go up the stairs and turn back towards yourself there is/was a concert room looking over Bridge Street on the left hand side. The blocked toilets were on the opposite side - rear of the Town Hall - and when they opened up Monday morning, water was flowing down those lovely white marble stairs like a waterfall. Oh yeah, Queen were rubbish, but I think I may have already mentioned that. Artist Queen Date 22.12.1973 Venue Town Hall City Peterborough Country UK Support band none The venue was not that big ... with seating places... theater stage type. Line-up Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano, tambourine), Brian May (electric guitar, backing vocals), Roger Taylor (drums, backing vocals), John Deacon (bass guitar) |

That was told to me by Panthers musical historian Mr C and I'll get more detail if there is any next time I see him |

Fleetwood Mac did appear at Cowbit but they weren't famous then. Mungo Jerry in a field off Fulbridge Road anyone? Sweet at London Road Drill Hall? String Driven Thing at the Tech College?

Remember this? Boston Gliderdrome 1972 with some unknown bloke called Elton John on keyboards. Bolan died on 16 September 1977, two weeks before his 30th birthday.[7][8] He was a passenger in a purple Mini 1275GT (registration FOX 661L) driven by Gloria Jones as they headed home from Mortons drinking club and restaurant in Berkeley Square. Jones lost control of the car and it struck a sycamore tree after failing to negotiate a small humpback bridge near Gipsy Lane on Queens Ride, Barnes, southwest London.[7] Bolan died instantly, while Jones suffered a broken arm and broken jaw and spent time in hospital; she did not learn of Bolan's death until the day of his funeral. Bolan's home, which was less than a mile away at 142 Upper Richmond Road West in East Sheen, was quickly looted. Fans quickly turned the site of the crash into a shrine and in 2007 the site was officially recognised as Bolan's Rock Shrine. At Bolan's funeral, attended by David Bowie and Rod Stewart, a swan-shaped floral tribute was displayed outside the service in recognition of his breakthrough hit single. His funeral service was at the Golders Green Crematorium which is a secular provision in North London. Bolan himself stated that he was Jewish, the religion of his father. However, because his mother was not a Jew he would be considered a gentile under Orthodox Jewish law (Halakha). His ashes were buried at Golders Green Crematorium. Bolan never learned to drive, fearing a premature death. Despite this fear, cars or automotive components are at least mentioned in, if not the subject of, many of his songs. He also owned a number of vehicles, including a famed white Rolls-Royce, which had been lent by his management to Hawkwind on the night of his death. Fellow T. Rex member Steve Currie also died in a car crash less than four years later. wikipedia |
