PINK FAIRIES Live 1973

[@olgierdogden4742]

Seeing the Fairies and Hawkwind at the Roundhouse Implosion nights until 5 or 6am in the morning always went better with the free “Acid” the bands handed out. Those were most definitely the days!

[@yvoheaton6402]

Was a regular at these shows. As you say, they were the days and how we survived them I know not...but we did and still do. Man completed the shows as I recall and added something very special to the mix.

[@olgierdogden4742]

@@yvoheaton6402 Hi there Yvo. Dear oh dear me.. yes I wondered then how on Earth we all would ferry or fair in the years to come. -I got kicked out twice from HP School or the socialist Eaton in Kensington. >>->The initial dismissal came after my mum discovered a hash pipe which I left in her kitchen. She would refer to me as being “ non-compos mentis“ throughout my teens and a certain younger brother sucked up to the idea. Hey ho! .. But if the truth to be told I gained a BA with Hons in Graphic Design in my late twenties. And just post my graduation, I worked on and off improving the overall Posters and Design etc for Dingwalls just down the road from the Roundhouse. Hahaha! But on a serious note for a mo we were munching some of the real California Sunshine and and other stuff. It certainly changed many peoples minds and concepts of reality. I’d love to say more but being 68 and 4 months!! So I’m thinking of writing this all down in a book on those halcyon days we all came through. Oh, and incidentally I still see my old peer group and a few of us have moved to Brighton where people are still shining a little. Do take care and it’s been a blast writing to you. -You can always write back. Take care Olgierd x.

[@yvoheaton6402]

@@olgierdogden4742 we are the same age and no doubt we shared the same space at many a gig. I much enjoyed Dingwalls. Saw many greats in that space and many fond memories. I have taken the pen by the nib and started to write a memoir. The music chapters will no doubt touch many of the bands seen and listened to throughout the hectic 70's and 80's. Eel Pie Island and the Marquee were second homes. Memories may fade but the music lives on and rightly so. I remember hanging around the Lowry Organ shop in Ealing hoping to spy a keyboard player or two and of course the Marshall shop was always guaranteed to have a good selection of top players strumming or just calling in to chat. Even ventured to Brighton a few times and broke a toe playing football on the beach one day by kicking a large pebble rather than the ball....

[@olgierdogden4742]

@@yvoheaton6402 Wow! Hahaha! Isn’t life great no matter what bleedin well gets in the way. My lovely peer group -or at least the ones who had their heads and parents tuned in shall we say managed to get to Eel Pie whilst leaving me with a daft sense of “how dare you leave me out!” But as for the Marquee and 100 Club oh brother or sister times and gigs were blissful and especially the Chinese nosh in the hundred club. I new Alexis Korner and went to school with his kids. And found myself chief roadie for his son Niko bless him. It was the Marquee’s 25th Anniversary and they invited all the old heads who cut their teeth gigging there during it’s infancy. I carried Niko’s Gibson and still have the staff pass to prove that Oggie -that’s me was yet another aficionado who graced the club back and front stage. -Alexis did a set with…. Drum Roll))) Ruby Turner and a lovely session singer, Charlie Watts still kicking the peddles and eating with chopsticks. And Bill Wyman who I later trapped a few years ago in the Brighton Laines. And continued to chat away as if we had known each other from eons. My main reason for stopping and not giving way to his minder who kept telling me things like “he’s only his double” was that my eldest brother new Brian Jones and a couple of other Stones. Oh and Alexis’s son played some mean guitar with the Shara~bang at the marquee. Incidentally, I started writing on where? Facebook and informed my friends and public to how I scored those little midnight runners off Lemmy. And later a certain co-founder of Motörhead Lucas Fox started writing to about a book but nothing else I’m thankful to say, for now anyway. Thanks for writing back. WE helped change the world and never forget that. Big luv, big hug and I have never met you, but I’m have now. Do write the book incidentally and keep in touch if you so wish. Life’s been hell, and life’s got SO many rewards that outnumber those dark days. I also enjoy classical music to but that’s another story. Take care Ox

[@shanerandall9829]

Thank fuck for the Fairies. I got expelled from a crap Public school too because of them. Supposed to do a six hour end of term detention but had to literally leg it so I could get to the Pink Fairies Christmas party at Kensington Town Hall. Forever grateful to the Fairies for getting me kicked out of that shithole school.

[@FarRite5921]

The most UNDERATED band ever. These guys rock!

[@wedgeguilala4742]

Paul Rudolph / Duncan Sanderson / Russell Hunter / Twink line-up in this performance. they are in the free-jam middle portion of "Uncle Harry's Last Freakout" in this footage. this may have been broadcast sometime in 1973, but this footage was most certainly shot in 1970-71as thats when this line-up existed. in 1973, Larry Wallis was fronting the band as a 3 piece and they would have been playing stuff from "Kings Of Oblivion" which is nothing like what they are playing here in this footage. i'm impressed with how they are all casually sharing a joint while a roadie is fixing something on Twink's drum kit, but they never stop playing or jamming. one of my all-time favorite bands, and all 3 of their classic LPs are some of the best Hard Rock this world has ever heard.

[@wedgeguilala4742]

watching the interview, Paul Rudolph clearly says they have 2 albums, and Twink is nowhere to be seen, so the interview is from a later date from the live footage; most probably 1972 after "What A Bunch Of Sweeties" was released.

[@wedgeguilala4742]

and the second live clip is from the ending solo in "Do It"

[@twistedspanner]

M8 That's Larry Wallis on lead guitar. Not Paul Rudolph. And it's Lazza talking in the interview too. Paul Rudolph was probably in Hawkwind at the time?

mostholyo Twink was in the band at 1973??? i thought he only went back on 1987

[@Gentlem1]

Mia Paboplanes TWINK WAS ON THE FIRST ALBUM "NEVER NEVER LAND", WHICH WAS '71. HE PLAYED OFF AND ON WITH THE BAND , UP TO THE REUNION ALBUM "Eat 'Em and Smile"., and , possibly, after that , though Mick Farren said they declined to let him participate in a reunion gig in the 90's "Because no one could stand him".

[@ishmaelsix7581]

+mostholyo Agree on this line-up. I saw the Pinks in May '73 with Hawkwind and a bunch of other other bands at the Empire Pool Wembley. A typically wonderful Pink Fairies stunt - they were billed as Danny and the Racing Cars so nobody had a clue they were playing till they arrived on stage looking a bit refreshed! What a beautiful noise they made. They played their set as a three-piece, just Larry Wallis, Sandy and Russell. Fab gig, happy days.

[@Gentlem1]

Cool. There's a feature article on The Pink Fairies in the new Vive Le Rock. Curiously , Farren is in the main group photo. SEEMS TO BE A DEVIANTS PIC , RUN BY MISTAKE. He and Phil May founded the drinking club that became The Pink Fairies....I think Farren was only there in an advisory capacity , as with Motorhead. LEMMY IMPLIED THAT MICK WAS MOTORHEAD'S FIRST PICK SINGER , But it seems he went straight from Hawkwind to THE WALLIS/FOX / LEMMY LINEUP.

I was 21 at the time. We listened to everything from Coltrane to Beefheart, but the band we followed in London was the Edgar Broughton Band. Because of this we got to see the Fairies at whiles, but their lot were hipper and cooler than the Broughton fans. Ha ha. Talk about prolonged adolescence.

Saw the pink fairies in 1974. The good thing at colleges was though it was over 18's the guy on the door was so out of it he let two school kids in. My abiding memory apart from the great music was that someone had been sick on the floor and some guy ripped on acid sat in the vomit and proceeded to pick handfuls of it up and threw it at the people behind him. A few years later he would of had the shit kicked out of him, but the audience did nothing just smiled. Another guy had his head in the speaker bin the whole gig and is probably deaf from that point on. Lemmy came on for the encore of 'i saw her standing there' Fairies were fantastic. I was offered some free acid at the end and said no. The hippy couldn't quite make me out. What a sensible kid i was.

OGWT: I got the official DVDs,but looks like a lot of stuff has yet to be released. Here in Italy we never had the chance to watch these kind of shows on TV, that's why we (Italians) are so musically ignorant...

@pit2ryan3 I have seen a few shows by Pop Deux and the production quality is good. I know OGWT did not have a lot of money, because everytime there is a show about the BBC in 1971 the production staff like to point it out. I think it is a cultural thing. The French take art more seriously and certainly a lot of money went on outside broadcasts, whereas in Britain pop was generally frowned upon by old people running the media.

[@klmullins65]

23igna I'm a musician who's had to overcome substance abuse...I used to believe that drugs enhanced creativity too, but now that I'm clean, I view that notion as a myth, because the love of music, and the urge to create is there without the "aid" of drugs, and those feelings go way deeper than having to be "inspired" by feeling stoned...I think many musicians became addicted because they thought they needed drugs for inspiration.
