BOC: So long and thanks for all the hawks

[ANDREW GARIBALDI]

surprise surprise - although known more for Hawkwind, I have a Grateful Dead
like love for BOC, in other words I love them live but don't rate the studio
stuff. Saw BOC at Manchester Free Trade Hall way back in about '74 I think,
supported by Birth Control, and it was one hell of a concert. The next one
was some 16 or so years later when they successfully, at Hanley Victoria
Hall, became, and this includes Motorhead gigs, the loudest band I have ever
heard in my life, so loud in fact that Jackie and me managed to last about
half way before having to walk out for sake of our hearing - talk about
overdoing it.
So, for the hell of it, my fave five providing they are done live are:
ME 262 (still seeking the difinitive version 'coz it sure as hell ain't on
record)
Cities On Flame With Rock and Roll
Bucks Boogie
Shooting Shark (their finest studio track for me)
Seven Screaming Diz-busters
Andy Garibaldi (closet BOC fan - live of course!!!!!)
