50 Years Ago Today | Europe '74 - Ally Pally Special

Alexandra Palace
London, England
Monday-Wednesday, September 9-11, 1974
Due to a healthy portion of all three nights having been released on Dick's Picks 7, the full shows cannot be posted here. However, I've rounded up some highlights that Dick did NOT pick (aside from WRS). The band may have been effectively shanghaied for the Ally Pally run by the London mafia, but the ghost of Johnny Bindon has the opportunity to atone for his abuse tonight by seeing to it that the bots don't block this one ;)

(after the show at Tom Salter's) Jerry: "Wait, I thought you said you weren't doing any more!?" Rock Scully: "I thought you said you weren't doing any more. Anyway, about the ticket sales tonight..." Tom: "Will ya look at that, lads? I made us a sandcastle!"

Thanks, the visuals work perfectly with the music, I was there on Monday, we had a short show as the WOS cooked the generators, we were next to the extra ones they had to bring in to restore power, situated outside near the patient audience line up , they were noisy as fuck , yellow and they stank ! Nice shows though and a great run !
