I'm going ahead with this, since the activity is down again, and I did
find a Hawkwind connction as well.
I was just thinking "now that I have the sacred BOC photograph, what
do I do with it?""
My local Hawkwind buddy's "2 minutes of fame" are having been an early
member of the Nervebreakers and playing in a band called Metropolis
for whom this pic is all that seems to remain where my friend is
concerned.
Their biggest moments were this show, at the Oklahoma city state fair
in 1974, and another one, I think.....
They were being handled by Bill Ham I think and this one had BOC in
the middle with ZZ Top headlining and Metropolis opening (he says).
The phote is a bit faded and although my friend claims Albert's shorts
are gold, I cannot actually tell that, they look whitish, but the pic
is certainly faded. It is a great pic actually. It led to the
revelation (to me) that opening bands apprently are or were often
watching the main band from the side of the stage. It also led me to
see that Rush opened for Hawkwind in Nebraska in 1974??
OMG how i wish I could have seen THAT show, and Nebraska??
what IS Nebraska and does it really having human beings living there??
do they listen to rock music??
anyway, hope this did not bother anyone
ps-I'll put the photo in a BOC CD.
