I know your opinion of Hutchings is quite ambiguous(and why)!<br /><br />And yes, Brendan, you're right - a mention of Richard does bring back warm (?) memories indeed.<br /><br />I was there at the Gabriel gig with you - but it was quite a later gig. I was at the first London post-Genesis PG gig with Hugh Williams in 1977/8. Interestingly enough, Bob Fripp toured with that band and refused to play on stage, so hid behind a curtain! He was always okay when I saw him with King Crimson (once at Weeley and once at Hyde Park). <br /><br />I'm really not sure what "Me and My Teddy Bear" was about, though!Dave Leekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971308602082668644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339839143636242387.post-12833190655159451292010-08-03T22:04:29.240+01:002010-08-03T22:04:29.240+01:00I've only heard two versions of Rambleaway; on...I've only heard two versions of Rambleaway; one by the Albion Band and the other by Waterson/Carthy. I like both. One for the tradition, the other for the update.<br />I should think Mike's mention of Richard will conjure up some very warm memories for you Dave.<br />Word verification = diesses. Rather negative connotations methinks.<br />I only went to Knebworth twice. One I can't remember at all, the other was Peter Gabriel's first post-Genesis gig (I think) singing Me and My Teddy Bear.<br />Due to my incompetence, verification has now become lyrocybu - The ancient Greek art of stringed instrument folding.Brendinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442556958669427968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339839143636242387.post-30569190934663434162010-08-03T21:55:58.457+01:002010-08-03T21:55:58.457+01:00Yes, interestingly enough, I was going to mention ...Yes, interestingly enough, I was going to mention the fact that Richard and I worked together and were sent down Old Knebworth Lane out of the park when we wanted a break. Again, interestingly enough, because when Richard and I got bored we went to his mother's house for tea. We sat in their garden and listened to the whole of Van Morrison's set whilst drinking tea and eating sandwiches.<br /><br />Strange times.Dave Leekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971308602082668644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339839143636242387.post-57628710498541115762010-08-03T21:12:53.785+01:002010-08-03T21:12:53.785+01:00Rich Goddard and I put up the fence around that fi...Rich Goddard and I put up the fence around that first Knebworth for "cash in hand" and a fistful of free tickets. Long hours of banging holes through corrugated iron sheets and bolting them to a scaffolding in the hot sun was a bit like being on the chain gang.<br /><br />Amazing to think it's still going and that kids are still listening to the same old music, though we made our own heads on a pole in those days, of course. I seem to remember a Lord of the Flies scenario with a real pig's head, though that may have been somewhere else.
