Oh I think I must have, Scott & myself have bounced a few vids at each other on here over the years...

Na... misunderstood me... I meant on this thread.... the pair of you have indeed... Not sure how many times I saw them (no where near as many as you, that's a cert) - first was an NME show with Home supporting in '74, saw a Christmas show at the Hammy O' that sticks clearly in my mind, definitely saw them about '80 at a Donnington show...

Virginity, chrome and staying on topic are all three overrated.

Trying to keep me on topic (a hazel nut in every bite) ... hey... look at that squirrel go...

Aaah! Doh! Yes, I had looked back over the thread & while Nazareth got a mention I saw I hadn't put a Slade link in, you're right - very remiss of me!
You were at the NME show? Wow, that's one of their legendary ones! I was too young to travel that far then. IIRC they had a mocked up brick wall which they kicked over to walk on stage?
Their '74 tour was the 2nd time I saw them; "Slade's Crazee Nite" with a band called Beckett as support (Many years later I found a still sealed copy of the album Beckett were pushing on the tour, for all of 50p (about 33c ?)

Donnington was in '81, Reading was '80. They were offered Donnington again but Nod turned it down if they weren't top billing, which wasn't going to happen with AC/DC at their peak.
Which one is you?......  ;)

Fairly central but not up front - I do have some pics, or at least some negs, somewhere (mentioned it to Scott some time back but still not found them)...

Still got my programme from the Wembly gig... ;D

The Presidents never fail to entertain and this guy is more creative with two strings than a lot of people with five.

Well, you can't see it much, but here's Trevor Bolder with the EB-3 behind Bowie.

Who is nowadays "lead bassist" with Uriah Heep. I've never heard a bass player in a non-prog band play with as much improvisational freedom as he does with modern Heep. He solos more than Mick Box, their lead guitarist does. July Morning is one long bass solo with backing. He's cool, not just his sideburns.

He still used that EB-3 with Heep after he joined mid-seventies, inter alia on Free Me. He's a customized Fender P man now.

The EB-3 was sold on rockstarguitars a few years back.
