I caught up with both parts of ‘The Band’s Story’ episodes last night. It has really ramped up my excitement for seeing them at the Hydro in October.
Their world tour starts in one month’s time (exactly one month away today!) in Toronto.
When listening to the various members of the band talking about the active years and their memories, I couldn’t help but find myself giggling over the fact that two Geordies were talking and only one of them sounded like one. I’d never heard Paul Thomson talk before.
Anyway, both shows are great and there is a “Fan’s Story” too and they speak to Jim for it. I wish he’d have been given more time. His part of it seemed short, so I’ll add my own little exchange with him about Roxy – just at the point when the bug finally bit me and I got myself listening to them.
I recommend all three shows. They’re broken up into three separate hour long shows, so you can time your time listening to them. I’ll endeavour to separate out Jim’s piece on Roxy so it’s quicker to get to.
Enjoy them, and roll on October 10th!
Vive la Roxy!

Jim’s piece starts around 17 min 30 sec into the show.
And then…back to a time when I’d not be quiet (thinking of him saying “you’re quiet” to me at the m&g in Paris) – and he’d respond. Our exchanges on music I miss. Loved those days…
(P.S. I always have to have the last word. Lol)
P.P.S I love sssoooo much more than just Over You and More Than This now! (There were a few more than that back then too, to be fair.)
