I listened to a live version of this track on 6 music the other day. It was from a session they did for John Peel in about 79/80,  for just a three piece they were superb live,  and it's such an ace record.

Not arsed what anyone says, this is superb

 

 

 

I was there for that, last act I ever saw at Glastonbury (he was on Sunday night) after going for about a decade, I still remember the collective rush when Gail anne Dorseys bass line kicks in, breathtaking,  she lights a fire under the record,. Brilliant.

Assuming you’re talking about the gig I think you are, some way to bow out of Glastonbury that, mate. The only way is down from there really, so not a bad decision. I had to drive straight home afterwards and work the next day, must have had about an hour sleep max. Felt horrible for a couple of days, but 20 years later am still grateful I did.

Similar story, Its a bit poignant I was with a load of people and a lot of us, including me wanted to get off in the afternoon but a young girl (late teens) called  Jodie loved Bowie so much we all stayed for her to see him, she was a lovely kid and we owed thanks to her for insisting on staying, as he blew us away. In a cruel twist of fate she passed away a few christmases ago at around the same time as her idol and from that same awful disease. So when the BBC showed the full Bowie set the other week on tv we all sort of dedicated that concert to her.

Ah mate, sorry for your loss. Similar again. One of my best friends had just died in absolutely tragic circumstances. His funeral was only a couple of days prior to us driving up on the Saturday. He loved Bowie. I inherited his ticket (by our group and his folks consent) for V that summer too, and about 30 of us all watched Weller and Ashcroft, two more of his favourites, together. Powerful stuff is music, when it comes to things like that. All the best to you, pal.

Ditto, peace and love.

Currently reading Elvis Costello's "Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink".  (Brilliant, btw.)  He was at that Wembley gig in 74 and is dripping with praise for Neil Young in particular. 

"If you ask me now, I'd say that Neil Young invented the attitude of punk rock before my eyes that day. This was the lesson that I took away from the day: if there is an apple cart, you must do your best to upset it."
