Rain rain and more rain, the Commander hits the stage, the rain stops, sun comes out,,,the Commanders set is over and the rain instantly returns.Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen who did the rockingest gig I ever saw! [should have said "I ever did see!"]
I booked them! My flatmate at Bristol University was Social Secretary of the University Union and when I heard the Commander was touring the UK I wanted to see them "But they're a Country and Western band!"
"Don't worry! They'll rock!" and sure enough everyone was up and dancing that night! Remind me to tell the story of how we nearly got the Eagles to Bristol for a European Tour warm up gig when they were the biggest band in the world! And Simon and I were gonna control all the tickets! Much ass, grass and cash would be ours! And what happened? Some nana phoned from the States to a University Union office at 7pm Saturday night and expected a student still to be there! Din't they know about the time difference? So we stayed (relatively) poor, sober and sex starved!
