Sulky you probably already knew this but there's a great audience recording of this show with Elvis reacting angrily to all the gobbing, and shouting at the audience before the encores, slamming "all you punks spittin' at us!!! This isn't fucking 1977, it's fucking 1978! Wake up!! " or words to that effect. The show was Jan 20, 1978 by the way.sulky lad wrote:Bladders, what a hero - I've never heard of anyone who saw EC in 1980 (except Otis and his famous Guernsey gig) Can you recall much of th event ? I'm sure we'd all love to hear details.
I saw Elvis at The Roundhouse in 1978 but I don't know if it was the "freebie" in january or part of the UK tour in April. I didn't see Phil Lynnott so I think it might have been the earlier show. I wasn't too impressed mostly because of the amount of "gobbing" that went on by the audience !
After that I next saw him at Exeter 1981 and a few times since !!
