@cherryaimless@JohnP5269 The set list wasn’t as good as Wings Over America, but they were excellent. Opening with Got to get you into my life was genius. The crowd went mad.

@cherryaimless@JohnP5269 Newcastle upon Tyne City Hall in December 1979. Their last UK tour. The band were promoting Back to the Egg and a set list including many numbers from the McCartney album. Lots of highlights.
While you still can, follow the British Indian Ocean Territory (Chagos Islands) Administration on @BIOTGov
UK Government still hoping to implement crackpot plan that would see defence funds used to pay Mauritius to take sovereignty over the islands. A deal which doesn't help the wronged islanders, needlessly annoys the US and helps China while UK taxpayer is footing the bill.
My first UK 12 inch single purchase was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. American Girl. Fantastic track. It’s now 50 years later and I picked up at RSD this fantastic Live Album. Using the same cover as the 12 inch. I’m so happy 😀

Genesis • Abacab (1981)
Now it would have been quite dull if the band had simply made photocopy replicas of FOXTROT ever since the year of 1972, right? On ABACAB some of you may hear a band removed far away from its progressive rock days. I hear something else👇
Chazza finds today.
Kiki lp is a compilation of early singles some of which are northern soul classics.
Elvis and Graham Parker CDs are stuffed with extras and Al is a 2 disc deluxe version with bonus live disc.
£4 the lot
As a footnote to Physical Graffiti, I thought you might like to hear the original home demo, recorded in my studio at Plumpton Place of a piece of music that was going to surface as 10 Years Gone.
I presented this rough mix to the band at Headley Grange in order to do this for real. Robert Plant came up with some lyrics for my music that were extraordinary and then we arrive at the song 10 Years Gone.

@primarily_prog 5 definite classics there and hard to choose. Yes best album. Peter Gabriel best song 🎵 with Solsbury Hill - although Awaken comes close.
