Was this Toronto show Ken mentioned above, actually 1984? Other mentions of this show I found online also say 1984, but out of the 7 songs I found from the setlist there were 3 that were not released until 1986 on the "Getting the Holy Ghost Across" album. Could Bill have been been trying them out 2 years before their release? Or is this a typo, if the gig was actually 1986? Also - Does anyone know who the live personnel was? (If it's 1984, I would like to think it included Ian Nelson, Mick Karn & Y. Takahashi, but I doubt it - the drums sound programmed). You can hear the 7 songs in 4 separate Youtube videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheThomasOfficial

Babes In Toyland - Sweet ‘69

That's actually a very cool (partial?) setlist: it's all from Bill's 'new' solo years; it includes songs from every album released up to that point; it includes one more that we knew existed (Contemplation) and two that were genuinely fresh and (like Contemplation) would be on the next album. I think I have a CD of the same recordings somewhere. That can't have been the whole set though, can it?

It was a great concert, when it finished we went down stairs only to find The Frank Chickens just finishing they`re concert in the foyer, then Bill and Emi walked passed on there way to the after gig cuppa, we said hello and they were as charming as ever. Harry Hosono`s grandson played bass and was also in the first band `Cho Co Pa Co Cho Co Quin Quin who were excellent. Harry was in great form, a true legend. What a night

Was Steve on drums?

Yes, the songs and promos are like trifle.

It's like one of those songs you can't not like...Always kinds liked Aztec Camera, despite them leaning a little too much into the pop side of things, for my taste, really. A great band for me to listen to every now and then...small doses😉

Placebo - English Summer Rain (Official Music Video) Does this hold up after all these years?

Aztec Camera - Oblivious

I suspect the collection’s expanded and/or contracted since then? Jon?

Yes, cheers mate.....They're not award winning photos, or anything, I just liked how the colours worked together and balanced. Mother nature has a habit of producing beauty in the simplest of things and in the most mundane of places. I think there is a message in that..😉😊

Lively red/green going on, like Matisse.

Even though just regarded as weeds I guess, the contrast and balance of the complimentary colours is really nice...Beauty in the (often) overlooked.

I've still got my Astroluxe. The certificate of authenticity says, ‘1 of 24’.

Interesting fact Alec, I used to own two of those Transitone guitars at one time. Numbers 26 & 40, if memory serves correct.

Nice...always cool to have #1..😎 I think the Astroluxe Cadet is a lovely guitar, even though I haven't played one. There's a nice YT video of RJ Ronquillo giving the Astroluxe a workout. It would be a banker bet you had seen this, but I'll post it for anyone else who hasn't. It's well worth a look, I like his playing and he does it justice in this short demo. You can tell he's listened to Bill's playing before recording this, especially in the first section...perhaps he's a fan anyway.

The Cadet II is really cool too!...Love the silver sparkle finish, and the guitar sounds great. I mean, it's such a wonderful looker as well😎😎😍 Eastwood Bill Nelson Astroluxe Cadet II Eastwood Bill Nelson Astroluxe Cadet II - @eastwoodguitarsofficial

6 bedroom detached house for sale in Main Street, West Haddlesey, Selby, North Yorkshire, YO8 Haddlesey House still available. Lots unchanged since Bill's time there ... although Echo observatory is sadly no more. Ballroom is still a thing of beauty! Now has biomass boiler and a much smaller garden than in Bill's time.
