Lone Star - Paris Theatre, London 1976

October's first post is a recording on which a did a little tweaking on the sound. It's Lone Star, and this was kindly shared by AndyAnon:

"...it's their first BBC Radio 1 Live In Concert session in 1976, when they opened for Mott. It was recorded at the Paris Theatre, London on 23rd September 1976. I remember recording these sessions onto cassette tape from FM radio and cursing whenever a motor bike came past and interfered with the reception...

The line up is

Kenny Driscoll - vocals
Paul Chapman (later to join UFO) and Tony Smith - guitars
Rick Worsnop - keyboards
Pete Hurley - bass
Dixie Lee - drums

All tracks are from their eponymous debut, with the exception of Hypnotic Mover, which appeared on their second album Firing On All Six (John Sloman took vocals on the second album)."
