Mud

[Norrin Radd]

A bit of glam rocking for this evening, am off to see Mud and relive my musical youth .
Shame two of the original band have passed but it should be a banging night as they had some proper rocking tunes .

Little known fact....
Fragger was in the Mud fan club one or two moons ago...

I remember getting Mud’s Greatest Hits for Christmas in either ‘74 or ‘75.

Enjoy.

I've got the original mud rock album from 74. They were my favourite glam rock band,

I went and to be honest I was disappointed, yes they played all the hits and people were dancing and singing along with all the tunes but , and here's the rub it didn't come across as being a very professional gig .
I love all the music and they played well but I found it lacking,maybe I was expecting a little too much .I was hoping to see them all in the teddy boy drapes but they were just in everyday wear.

It’s often the way when the lead singer / main person/ driving force leaves a band/ dies -in this case , Les Gray.
The other band members try and continue, but it’s not the same

Imagine The Stones without Jagger,
Or Motörhead sans Lemmy.

There have been some exceptions, when Ozzy left Black Sabbath and was replaced by Ronnie James Dio, the subsequent “Heaven & Hell” album is one of their best.

A couple of the guys from work went to see Sweet the other night in Islington, Andy Scott being the only surviving member, said it was great

I saw Hawkwind after Lemmy had left.
I saw Deep Purple after Richie Blackmore had left.
I saw Genesis after Peter Gabriel had left.

My problem was/is being too young
