HW: Bob and Mike and HW punch-ups!

[LN1GJT]

Hi folks

just thought I'd add this ditty:

At the Xmas gig at the Rainbow, 1981, Bob, Mike and Nik guested for the show.
Nik & Bob started before the main set, with some bloody awful version of Master
of the Universe, with sax accompanied by that well remembered musical
instrument: The Stylophone!  -   At least, that's what it sounds like on the
cassette! (Remember - the thing that Rolph Harris was promoting in the early
70's) ( Dammit - I mentioned Rolph Harris on this site!)

Anyhow, (allegedly) Bob and Mike had a punch-up backstage after the show!
 - probably about the time of the marriage, of Moorcock's  former wife with
Calvert?

And talking of punch-ups, does anybody recall the gig where (again allegedly)
where Brock and Langton had a punch-up backstage, before the encore? The crowd
delighted to Nik's telling us of the fact, saomething along the lines of:

"Hey  -  Dave Brock and Huw Lloyd Langton had a punch up just now, back stage.
I think they should have a fight on stage!"

With Huw replying:   "You lying cunt Turner!"

It was definately a London Hammersmith Odeon Gig, either November 1982, or
probably the November 1984 Earth ritual gig, with Lemmy, and Mike, when Nik was
wrapped in Black Plastic bags, singing Silver Machine hoisted on a wire, swing
about 30 feet from the ground! It can't have been 1983, as they only played a
handful of gigs that year, the London shoew being at Hammersmith Palais in
February and in 1985 Nik wasn't there!

Aha!!   -  THOSE were the days!!!!!!
