are you referring to live hyde park '68 or live in amsterdam '69 ? haven't heard either, those recordings are hard to come by, or perhaps you're referring to something else

"mediocre before 67" is a weird take for a band that gave us "rosalyn" in 19 fucking 64

this one:

it was linked on the sidebar of the "reincarnation" vid. so the pretty things never recorded "reincarnation"? that's a shame, it's a good number!

Wally Waller was one of their secret weapons during 67-70. his songwriting and husky voice are great. Sounds somewhat like David Gilmour.

Ah damn. I was really looking forward to this new acoustic project that Mark St. John talked about in the regular PT column in Ugly Things -- but very glad they were able to do the Final Bow shows.

Talented man, great band.
The man with the thousand voices.

Aw shit

I think they were the best 60s-era band I’ve ever seen live - small club, didn’t take anything for granted, worked hard to put on a brilliant show

much as I love Dick Taylor I think the era when he stepped away from the band is my favourite? Parachute rules, and October 26 is just a brilliant brilliant single, what a vocal and what a vocalist

RIP
