Are you sure?

Hee hee. Poor Rick - great creac when he's on Never mind the buzzcocks.

He was an awful man for the drink when Yes were at their pompous peak and he constantly tricked interviewers in the bar after a gig if they asked him, "Where are you playing next?"

He'd reply, "Myrand".

Interviewer. "Myrand??":confused:

Wakeman, "I'll have a double scotch, thanks very much":D

I remember that sceal from an old Melody Maker. He was notorious for that scam.

Eh, look at the thread title

Jaysus, I'm even further off the planet than usual today, sligoman. Sorry about that:o :D

I saw Lynott a good few times when Lizzy were at the peak - don't think he was that great a bass player but maybe his overall contribution - great frontman, vocalist, shaper:D would make him a candidate for the perfect band list.

Also, if I'd been fully awake I'd have Rory Gallagher in place of Jan Akkerman.

The most together live band I ever saw were The Silver Bullet Band - they were tighter than a camel's hole in a sandstorm -really tight.
