77.0. "You know what i mean?" by SUBURB::DANCEA (Hacking is my business...) Mon May 23 1988 15:43

	    DATE		VENUE		TIME
   
    	Friday 20th May		READING		8.00 till late.
    				Old Town Hall

    Were YOU there?
    
    I was, and what an amazing gig it was. Opening with a truly memerable
    song which sounded like nothing on earth I have ever heard.
    
    The hall was crowded with people and the lights were flashing.....
    
    THERE IS NOTHING QUITE LIKE A LIVE GIG!
    
    (there was just 1 thing missing ;-))
    
    You've got no idea what I'm talking about, have you?
    
    Well it's not my fault you missed it, is it!

    ahhh,...Did you go then 'steve'?
    
    what did YOU think of him?

77.4Daevid AllenMARVIN::MCLEANWed May 25 1988 13:3613
>    what did YOU think of him?

I thought Daevid Allen was good but didn't think much of
his backing 'musicians'.   When you consider the bands he
used to front - which included people like Robert Wyatt and
Steve Hillage then this was quite a disappointment.

The audience made up for this though - it was more like a huge
party than a concert.   I didn't realise there were so many
hippies still around.

77.5next time?SUBURB::DANCEAHacking is my business...Wed May 25 1988 17:4721
Hi Steve,

	Are you going to the next Daevid Allen gig then? 
I  hear he is playing a large gig in London (don't know exact venue)....he's
playing  along  with  Here  &  Now  and  Osricks  Tenticles...I'm definately
going...well I should be although I have and operation on my mouth that day,
so  it  looks  like I won't be smoking or drinking for quite sometime....HOW
will i survive?

If I'm  not  in  too  much  of a bad way, what does anyone say about getting
together  before..durring..after  the  gig(s)  for drinkies? "Mines a Water,
please!"

	Cheers & Bye


	\Andy

PS. Steve you got any of Steve Hilliages solo stuff on tape you could lend to
me, or anything that is good....i like Hawkind,Gong,...etc. etc. If you can,
drop us a mail. Thanks in advance.

PPS, Steve where are you located? "Im on the UK, Reading to be exact!"
77.7Allen/H&N/HillageMARVIN::MCLEANWed May 25 1988 23:3418
	If I heard right Daevid Allen said he was playing the Electric
	Ballroom, London with Here & Now on 2nd June. Ive seen Here & Now
	many times and they're well worth seeing.

	>  you got any of Steve Hillages solo stuff on tape
		Well as this man is my guitar hero I've got just
		about everything he's ever put out!
		BTW does anyone know what he's doing these days?
		I know he got involved in Producing a few years ago
		but I've heard that he's now playing again - in	Germany.

	> where are you located?
		DECpark2

	I'll mail you...

	If this enclosed text makes any sense to you please contact me via 
    	mail, at USOPS::ZAPPIA.

    	I'm sure I'll receive a birage of mail so I'll post a reply here
    	soon after to plug the dam when it has been determined to be a 
    	closed/dead issue.
    
	Thanks,

		o double ten-inch gatefold 

		o hand-painted sleeve

		o included extra with their debut LP - I guess this one could
		   be any number of bands so ...what's the significance of the
		   band name "Catherine Wheel" and the pub by the same name in
		   Kensington (if I recall)?

	The others are fairly recent/relevant so...

	
77.10US / UK Record Swap - this note was aptly titled for my 'question!OLTRIX::ZAPPIApunk rock pollyWed Mar 11 1992 01:2623
    
    	The reasoning behind my original reply are beyong words or worth
    	getting into now but if there's anyone that is interested in
    	arranging a swap of any of the following records please let me know 
    	because my usual means of finding them in the states came up short 
    	so far and I would really like to get these:
    
    		Lush's double ten-inch gatefold release of "Spooky"
    		
    		The Falls recent 7", hand painted sleeve.

    		Catherine Wheel's debut LP along with the limited 7".
    
    	An interst in a bunch of other things but these come to mind and
    	since they're not as easily obtainable via usual import means.
    
    	side-note; at some point I'd like to discuss some of the off-line
    	conversation a few of us have had regarding my non-understanding
    	of the cases where by an import record in the states can cost as much 
    	as a domestic release in the UK as I have experienced.
    
    	Thanks,
    	- Jim
