The Ox live in Charleston, IL, 22.03.1975

Posted on November 26, 2024 by Klemens

Karl Speck about the show in https://www.thewholive.net/concert/index.php?id=2247&GroupID=3&Jahr=1975:

“What I can tell you is the Eastern Illinois University show was not on March 22nd 1975. There was a confirmed Entwistle show on that date at the Milwaukee Arena. Your site states that the Eastern Illinois  University show date was unconfirmed…  which is correct.  From what I can tell..

J Geils & James Cotton were on the bill at Eastern Illinois University. The only date I believe this show took place was on March 19, 1975.  I spent lots of time researching the J Geils Band concert archives websites…. Many.    None of the sites list  Geils at  eastern Illinois University.

None of the sites list a Geils show on March 19th, 1975. J Geils Band were on the west coast in early March and no more shows listed until they hit the Midwest. OK…..   I already  contacted Eastern Illinois University and I shall get to the bottom of this !  Looks like there is another Entwistle show in Allentown  Pennsylvania….  Allentown College on March 17, 1975.

Basingstoke, The Carnival Hall

Posted on November 26, 2024 by Klemens

Stuart G. Roberts send a new date. I added it to the Guide. here are the infos:

Through reading the linkk below it would appear that there is an additional date to be added.

Basingstoke 1963 – 66: Clubs, Promoters & Venues

Apparenty the bank were due to appear at The Town Hall, Basingstoke, Hampshire on December 26th 1964 but failed to show. Does anyone know what happened.

However, they did appear at The Carnival Hall, Basingstoke, Hampshire on 27th. August 1965.

From something else I read many moons ago, I had it in my mind that the band played Basingstoke on three occasions or maybe it was two with one no show but I cannot find that document again.

If anyone knows the where abouts of Roger Searle these days I would love to know.

When I was running a lighting company by the name of ‘Atmospheric Lighting’ he was exceptionally kind to me and was a fountain of all knowledge. Whenever we bumped into each othe he always remembered my name was was happy to spare me some time for a chat for which I would love to express my sincere thanks and appreciation. I wish there were more people in the world and business like him and it is many years since our paths last crossed.

Setlist 16. August 1971

Posted on November 26, 2024 by Klemens

Reavis Moore look at setlist.fm and send this addition to the concetr it Edwardsville, IL, Southern Illinois University, The Who, Monday, 16. August 1971. https://www.thewholive.net/concert/index.php?id=299

: “Your list for The Who’s live performances of Won’t Get Fooled Again in 1971, missed August 16th at the Mississippi River Festival at Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville, Illinois. I was there in about the 10th row, along with 34,000 other fans. Tripping on Acid… it was a mesmerizing show, with smashed guitar and drums, and a small riot at the end with seats ripped apart and thrown around. That was the time of freaks after the death of hippie. We were young and pissed about the war and the never ending fooling by the gov.

Here’s the setlist: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-who/1971/southern-illinois-university-edwardsville-edwardsville-il-5bdf8324.html

Keep on rockin!

WHO and FREE show in Wolverhampton Civic Hall (1969 or 1970)

Posted on November 20, 2024 by Klemens

Alessandro Borri send info about an unknow show. Any help is recommended:

Could be this show: https://www.thewholive.net/concert/index.php?id=738

I am an Italian rock fan and gig collector too ! I am huge fan of English rock band FREE and recently i get a message by a fan who says this: I saw them (FREE) at the Catacombs Wolverhampton (I know FREE played Catacombs in Wolverhampton 22 December 1969), and then a few weeks later I saw them at The Civic Hall supporting The Who . It was awesome , When the who started playing Magic Bus they were joined by Free , it was amazing two sets of drums etc and it went on for the best part of 20 minutes.

Anyway I have no idea if fan memory are right and if ever FREE and WHO played on the same bill in Wolverhampton Civi Hall in 1969 or 1970 (or perhaps before in 1968). Thanks for you kindly attention and help too !
Did you know more of this show ? Thanks again !
