  I was at this concert and amongst the above problems, BOC were not featured in
the souvineer program for the day, also, I beleive they were excluded from the
official T shirt.
They followed a rejuvinated Slade that day and I'm afrain fell rather flat. There
was a picture in SOUNDS the next week of Eric trashing the plaque and a quote thus,
'the new wave is a crock of shit'
Those were the days..........
