ninelives Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 it wasnt rusted root was it? I know they opened for them in the US only but I could be mistaken. Great band as an aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 it wasnt rusted root was it? No, Rusted Root were an American band who opened dates on the first leg of the North American tour only. The St. Austell opening act was from the UK. Come to think of it, may well have been a band called Big Country, who opened the Page/Plant concerts in Ireland that same month. Originally, I thought there was no opening act in St. Austell, but the stub jogged my memory and I recalled the singer and an acoustic guitar. I can't believe that was nearly 15 years ago.

SteveAJones Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 its pretty anorakish but it keeps me out of mischief. I can relate. By the way, the Cornwall Coliseum was demolished not long ago. Fortunately, I returned to document the venue with a camera before it was. I also have some old postcards of Carlyon Bay, which show that old sunken pirate ship on the beach in the foreground and the venue in the background. Pretty cool find. I have the Whole Lotta Love opener on video and someone else was kind enough to send along photos from the gig. Remember the singles club on the left-hand side of the Coliseum? I think it was called Gossips. Anyway, when I look at those photos it always reminds me of that brilliant comic George Carlin who does a skit on singles clubs in one of his HBO specials -- how they always end in "s": Scamps, Tramps, Singles, Mingles... It's laugh out loud funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpeller Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Big Country were definitely the support on the next day at Poole Arts Centre and the St Austell & Poole dates were slotted into the tour at the same time. They did play an acoustic set at Poole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked up Big Country to see if I knew any of their songs and not one struck me as familiar. I thought for some reason they had a song of the same name as their band but unless it wasn't listed, I would be confused! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
