Just listening to this again. I don't think I've ever heard Moe play so many fills. And suspect Lou would never have let her get away with hitting the cymbals that much...

That's an interesting point - "If you're moving too fast, don't you want it to last" / "Rich son waits for his father to die etc", and "You know it makes no difference to me" / "Me, I just don't care at all". Completely different vibe, but very similar structure.

Ron says:
The broadcast was only one song: Cool It Down, I'm very sure, R&R I have never seen in TopPop, and also not in compilation episodes later on.

Re: Top Pop October 1971 - tape found! (Sort of)

Nice to know that Concertgebouw broadcast is still out there. The guy on Facebook has replied and says that he's listened to the tape and it does sound live to his ears. And the photo of the band from the show does look like they're set up to play live, with mics on the amps and everything plugged i...
