Leafhound link and Atomic Rooster setlist

Goodbye Summer . Concert for Bangladesh . The Oval , Kennington . 9-18-71. The Who, The Faces,Atomic Rooster, Eugene Wallace, America, Mott The Hoople ,Quintessence ,Lindisfarne, Grease Band ,Cochise .

    Sound problems plagued almost all the acts, apart from The Who who were using a different PA set up to the rest of the artistes. As a consequence its unlikely that any audience recordings sound all that hot. However , the whole show was recorded for a potential album, but unfortunately was never released , probably due to the inability of the various bands to come to terms regarding royalties .Yet another festival recording thats probably mouldering away in a vault somewhere ......

The Who Summertime Blues My Wife Love Ain't For Keeping I Can't Explain Substitute Bargain Behind Blue Eyes Baby Don't You Do It Won't Get Fooled Again Pinball Wizard See Me, Feel Me My Generation Naked Eye Magic Bus audience tape- quality good .

The Faces Three Button Hand Me Down When Will I Be Loved Maybe I’m Amazed Stay With Me It’s All Over Now Country Comfort Around The Plynth Maggie May I’m Losing You Had Me A Real Good Time Every Picture Tells A Story Aud tape exists of this set. Quality C

Atomic Rooster

A tape of the bands set exists and may be in circulation amongst diehard Rooster fans .We don't know if this an audience or sbd recording, or how long it is- so any new info would be great .

Pete French , vocalist with Atomic Rooster, kindly sent us this info re Roosters setlist -apoligies for taking a year or so to add the info Pete !

I will try to remember the compositions that we played at the Concert, we played:-

• Tomorrow night
• Devils Answer
• Black Snake
• Head in the Sky

Then my personal favourite composition

• Breakthrough
• The Price
• Death walks behind you
• A spoonful of bromide helps the pulse rate go down
• Break in the Ice.

I hope I got that right , I`m sure I will be corrected by a fan if not!
Incidentaly I have just recorded a new LeafHound album Titled "Unleashed" and I decided to re work and re-record the Rooster composition "Breakthrough" as a compliment to Vincent, but this time it`s a little more rock with guitar instead of the keyboard, I hope you will like it.
I appreciate the fact that you enjoyed us at the show.

One of the unfortunate things for me personally was that although I was the only singer which had the pleasure to have played the concerts in the States & Canada with the band, and to have been on their most successful selling album "In Hearing of" I am often forgotten by many of the writers here in England as most of the shows I did with the band were in Europe or abroad.
Still you can`t have it all!
I hope this is of use to you
Kind regards,

Pete French.
