Fabulous Memories From 1980

Posted on February 28, 2017October 3, 2023 By Priptona No Comments on Fabulous Memories From 1980

A fabulous post by Conte Fly about SM’s first tour of Italy supporting Peter Gabriel.

It links to Facebook. I can’t get the usual embed to work, so you’ll have to click the link below to view the post.

I also noticed in the pictures posted that Derek is on Jim’s right instead of Charlie. I’d love to ask him whether there is a reason Charlie now seems to very predominantly be on his right when they’re performing. Whether it was a conscious and now permanent thing. But…for fear of being in his bad books, I dare not ask.

If anyone knows, I’ll be happy to hear it. You can leave comments on the posts on the blog. View the bottom of this blog post to see the link for comments.
