End Of An Era

[Pete S]

Just going through piles of old cd's looking for my perfect quality version of the Diane Lewis cover up - can't find it but found a cd I made of the last night at Wigan, just says End Of An Era on it...have a listen to the last ever play of Tobi Legend - Time Will Pass You By

(I've also found a cd of Blackpool Mecca 1975!)

If I say yes, then I'll get 30 requests from people saying can you do us one as well so I'll say no!

Anyone remember the sit in in M's?

[Barry]

Oh...and Pete..it did.

[Pete S]

OK have a listen to this - taped about 40 minutes before the end of the last night - listen to the clapping build up from one single clap to a crescendo, this made every hair on my body stand up when I played it just now...there will never be another atmosphere like this

[Barry]

Awwwww mate.

[Pete S]

and here's the last ever play of Dean Parrish - I'm On My Way

[Barry]

Yeah, that's about finished me off.

I remember the lights coming on and having a few words with the Blackpool lads, then coming down the bannisters talking to Vernon from Bradford and getting to the door to bursting sunshine and walking home in a bit of a daze.

Bloody awful moment in my life....but one that spawned a thousand other stories in London, Rotherham, Sheffield, Leicester, Stafford, Morecambe, Hinckley, Buzzard etc etc etc - one door closes...!?

Me too, tears rolling here, weird how that can happen, it was 26 years ago! It's just when that clapping speeds up at the climax of the last chorus and then there's a tiny puase before the last thundering clap comes in just before he sings the words I'm On My Way
