Cheers, I know they played Brid but Doncaster twice and not Hull seems a bit strange, didn't Bowie used to go to Duke in Ferriby with Mick Ronson as well?
Still the New York Dolls played Malcoms on 3 Nov 72 and hardly anywhere else in the UK.

did,nt the drummer of the dolls die of an overdose the same night?
 
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

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.

Always thought that was another Hull Bowie Urban legend " He used to wait in a car on Anlaby Common for the bassist to finish at the barber's you know"

Seems this was FACT.

He may have even had some chips from Barons on corner of Bernadette.

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.

Aye, when I saw them Buffin’s Alzheimer’s was too advanced for him to play. Martin Chambers from The Pretenders subbed on the sticks.

Since then both he and Overend Watts have died.


The remaining members are touring again this April however.
