Bill Nelson is one of my favorite musicians. I have a randomly recurring series called Playing the Bills where I feature music by Bills Burroughs, Laswell, & Nelson.
When Playing the Bills in January 2021, I shared Be Bop Deluxe - Live at the Riviera Theater from Chicago 1976.
At that time, I sez:
"I have never really posted up Be Bop Deluxe but someday plan to get around to their five disc collection Futurist Manifesto - The Harvest Years 1974-1978."
That time is now...

Superb! Be Bop deluxe was the first band I ever saw. Me and my mate were 14 and persuaded his dad to take us to London to see them. that gig was recorded for 'Live! in the Air Age'. Happy days
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the memory. Live in the Air Age is my favorite BBD release. The live version of Adventures in a Torkshire Landscape is top notch.
