Jon:
I dunno about that quite recent - Dudley's hit was in '63 - but I'm sure
lots of American bands were performing it.
Ah, in my head I had '66 as a date for Dudley's hit, oh well. And yes, of
course I was talking about "crossover" performances for rock audiences...

Oh, you meant American *rock* bands g.
Tho I'm sure more country bands than rock bands
I'll stand on the proverbial coffee table in Jeremy Tepper's
living room and say that.
Geez, how many other coffee tables does he have in there?
[Matt Benz] Well, aside from the Proverbial, which is actually
neo-Proverbial, he has a nice Colonial in dark Cherry..

I don't have it with me, but i think it's a UK import that I found used for
cheap. Sound quality is fair, but I thought it was an interesting pick up
for the price. A Head Rings Out was definitely one of my faves of the 70's
and not
head on the cover. g
Oh man, I *loved* Blodwyn Pig!! Alas, last I heard, the great Mick
Abrahams was driving a bread truck g. Such is glory A Head
Rings out was a very cool album indeed. I'd love to hear it again.
You can see Mick Abrahams, of course, in the Stones' Rock n' Roll
Circus

Jon tells me:
Um...that's actually Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi on guitar with Tull
in the Circus; his only performance with the group during his infamous
2-week stint with the group.
Good lord...g. I always assumed that had to be Mick A.!! I'm gonna
rent and watch it

Pig thread does my little heart good.
They wrongly *precisely* that sort of band that nailed it and disappeared
wrongly. So that decades later the very name makes you grin and wonder,
"What the hell *did* happen to my copy of that one??&q
You mean how can you tell stylistically, or how can you tell by their
respective haircuts?? g
Oboy, I'm gonna rent a video and worry about whether the guitarist is Tony
Iommi or Mick Abrahams g,

Just another reason to love P2, other folks who remember the joys of
Blodwyn Pig. g
I kinda think A Head Rings Out came out on CD on some small, re-issue
oriented label in the early part of this decade. Never picked it up though.
I have the the disc in my hot little hands right now though

I mean Tony Iommi plays left handed.
He also had a couple of fingers destroyed in an accident, but I doubt
you're gonna see that on the video.

That's a possibility. But just to think that they were a Brit band
performing this number in the 69-71 moment when it was still quite recent,
etc., is impressive. I mean, this is when the Burritos were the only

All those 7 and 10-minute tracks are kinda scary...

Never really got into any of those for some reason. Though I did like
