Last One For Now: Wigan Casino 21.5.1977

[Pete S]

AKA Pete Falls Over...

 

Okay this is the last one for now, it's nice to be asked for these but my ears need a rest from the live tapes. This one I recorded back and to the right, looking at the stage, the recorder was on a table right on the edge of the dancefloor, if you listen to the climax of the second chorus of "I Wanna Know" you will actually hear me trip over my Adidas bag whilst doing a spin LOL.  Sorry this one picks up quite a lot of talking, I can recognise at least 4 of them as if it were yesterday.  DJ is Keith Minshull and it's a pretty atmospheric recording.

Another great recording Pete..... remember that night very well

 

It's interesting that there isn't an unfamilier track to any of us, yet I've not heard the Lovelites, Florence Devore or even Popcorn Wylie played out in a long while which is a shame as they're infinately preferable to the usual Wigan oldies that make up your typical 'local soul' night......
