  1. That's a longer setlist than Dylan at Blackbushe in '78.

  2. The word is that Da refused to leave the stage. They disconnected the cables, switched out the lights and locked up the place, but he refused to stop playing, crying in the darkness: "I am Shakey Ravenscroft!" After 20 consecutive versions of Rockin' in the Free World, he apparently collapsed and was taken to a hostel for homeless men. Grahame said: "Da needs Deuchar and some TLC in the Toon - and fast!"

  3. It's cruel what absence from the Toon can do to a man.

  4. You should be proud of your Da. He really knows how to work a crowd of middle-aged men.

  5. Anyone want the rehearsal tape? The first run through of Roll Another Number has a shorter intro and there's a killer version of Powderfinger that he had to leave out because the first act spent too long tuning up. Long may he run!

  7. Only if it's the first generation master complete with coughing fit between Blackbird and Piggies. If you've got that, it's worth some money!
