    Last saw 'em March 14th 1970 @ Leeds U. U.
    One month to the day after "The Who Live @ Leeds" was recorded at the same venue.
    Not sure of their (MTH) lineup that night, and this track probably was not yet released.
    Such are the sands of time :emoticon-0106-cryin



    Funnily enough, FM's "Sands of Time? came out the same year,

    Saw MTH at The Kirk a small and brilliant club at Kirklevington (Teesside) of which I was a member late sixties and early seventies. The sound system was probably appropriate for Wembley Stadium. The whole place was shaking and I could feel the sound waves hammering on my chest. I thought I'd leave with blood running out my ears. That said it took two or three days for my head to stop hurting and be able to hear again. That's probably why I'm partially deaf today ... didn't even like them, noisy ****s.

    I lived on Anlaby Common and my best friend was a hairdresser at Brian Dixon's and I used to go to meet him from work. Trevor Bolder used to go there and may have even worked there for a short period, but I'm not sure about that part, but I certainly met him there.
