Just a quick note to thank everyone for the messages incoming, regards the final FAS issue. I have to admit it's been a little overwhelming, but I'm trying to get through them, and answer everyone. I am aware many of you have subscribed for decades (some right back to the t-shirt that started it all). Among all the emails was one from my friend Dave Lewis, Led Zeppelin historian par-excellence, and 'Tight But Loose' magazine creator and editor for many years. He's put a really nice tribute to the FAS on his blog, and it's here if you'd like to take a look. I'll put a link down below. The FAS section is about halfway down the post.
Dave's blog is always full of Zeppelin information and memories, so it's well worth checking out. I was a little taken aback by the amount of space given to the FAS here, and the very thoughtful and kind write-up of my little hobby and endeavous. I am very grateful, so thank you sir.
Peace at Sheffield City Hall 1971
Then I thought I'd mention the fact that there's a Peace gig up on Youtube (Thanks for the 'heads up' Paul). The tape, from Sheffield City Hall (October 7, 1971 I believe, not the 10th), has been around for a while, but it basically sounded like it had been recorded through a pillow. However, this seems to be a much higher generational copy, and is considerably clearer than previous versions. The performance itself is still a bit rough around the edges, but it is what it is, and as an audience recording I've heard much worse.
At the time the fledgling Peace were supporting Mott The Hoople, hence the short 50 minute slot. Paul Rodgers handling the guitar and vocals here of course, with ex-Killing Floor Stewart McDonald on bass, along with ex-Quatermass Mick Underwood on Drums. This is the full set, including the introduction and features;
'Last Train On Earth' is actually TREE, but it was later re-titled 'Zero B.C.'. Anyway, if you'd like to check it out, you'll find it here.
