On the night the most popular proved to be a medley of the music he put together with Elton John for The Lion King.
coincidentally watched Interstellar film @Nasher (Hans Zimmer) and just searched Soundtrack for 10 minutes to find one of the favourite sections, for me anyway.
Chris I genuinely think you'd find it really worth a trip up into town for. Not many nights left to book though.
so as not to go off topic on another thread, i'm sure you remember how similar these two were at the time in one aspect, and have forgotten who was first, and it doesn't really matter anymore. too-much-time-on-my-hands EDIT - wondered why Bass player Steve Priest* had partial image censoring on TOTP vid. Turns out he had a Swastika armband.. the Beeb.. even back then *RIP Steve, passed in 2020 aged 72.
I absolutely adored The Sweet when I was a nipper. I was deeply upset that the barber wouldnt cut my hair like Brian Connoly's Bowie was my 1st ever music obsession which I still retain. Oddly enough it was the Laughing Gnome which got me. I remember it to this day, singing it whilst going to shops with Gran. I'll be 4 or 5yrs old. Ive been a massive fan ever since. Really looking forward to the exhibition at V&A Edit: Rod can do one. Thats Curtis Mayfields song and no-one else is allowed.
just goes to show what a generation gap will do as I just tuned out from Rod soon after MM/hardly liked anything he did. I played MM a bit earlier as hadn't done so probably for 40 years and effected me more than I thought it would - slapped me right back to that time, and would go back in a heartbeat.
