Weekend WhirliGIG Wish – Mars Bar, July 30th, 1978 – Part 1
This Mars Bar gig is broken up in parts on YouTube, so for this weekend, I will post songs from the gig in stages. We start with a very rare one indeed. Never made it to a studio recording and this is the only version of it (I know of anyway) out there. Caught In…
