  1. Hammersmith Odeon on Robert's first UK tour 1983. I think it was December? I was there , he did two shows and I THINK this was the second one - SAJ can probably confirm.
  2. Ooh just found this - also says he was on 3 times - I know I had them all
  3. Anyone have decent footage of the two times RP was on Mike Read's "Pop Quiz" in the 80s? I used to have both on Betamax but Lord knows if I'll ever dig them out. I recall him singing along to the "'Ello Mrs Jones, 'ows your Bert's lumbago?" part of The Small Faces' "Lazy Sunday Afternoon"
  4. No worries Steve. I can't chase the thought that the musician we saw was Big Joe Turner. I know he died in Nov of 1985. I'd love to have a better memory!
  5. They flew from Washington in their private jet immediately after the Tacoma gig on 11th and we all went out in San Fran to see a blues musician at a local bar, his name escapes me but it will come back. 12th and 13th were nights off , not much happened on 12th but they all went to the Paul Young gig on 13th. The only thing I can think may have happened is that they went to this other gig after the Paul Young one? I don't recall hearing about it but it's possible.
  6. This certainly puzzles me as I was around and all the band went to see Paul Young on 13th - and weren't at a gig on 12th.
  7. This was actually recommended by Levis back in the day and was quite a common thing to do. Don't know if this vid will work for folk outside the UK but this was a huge ad back in the 80s -

  10. They were just great back then. Marsden was a guest onstage at one of their UK shows last week. Coverdale claims he is now friends with all of the ex-members again with the exception of Moody.

    Hot pics of Jimmy

    In 1981, Jimmy looked three times Robert's age.Also, I think Robert aged overnight after the death of his son. That's the very definition of a "tough life" to me.
  12. Rex was with him the whole time. SAJ, you are right about what you heard/read. Some of the TTTV staff have great stories about the evening, I am pretty sure I remember the restaurant but will check with a pal before I post it. Sadly, I don't know any "old groupies from Newcastle" to substantiate anything, but I do know people who were there.
  13. I still have it on a betamax tape somewhere but haven't seen it for years. But I was in the studio audience that night and remember it very clearly
  14. There are a few minutes more, but it was a very brief interview. It was only a short show and there were also two live bands on it.
  15. Knowing that an old friend spends so much time thinking about me
  16. I don't really think is a topic for discussion on a fan forum (not your fault SAJ) but yes he is. Feel free to PM me if you wish Steve. I dunno whether Sam may want to clean up this thread? I'm not sure what the stance is on this topic these days.
