ROCKPALAST CONCERTS 1976 - First show recorded on 3rd December 1976. The songs played were: Say That You Love Me Down Drinking at the Bar Plane Too The Eight Bar Blues Unrequited to the Nth Degree Red Guitar (on the Piano) B Side Motel Blues Talkin' Big Apple '75 Bicentennial Surfer Queen Dead Skunk Twist and Shout Schooldays Loudon's most recent album at the time was 'T Shirt' and a enormous 'blowup' of the front cover formed the backdrop. Hey, I just love that 'subtle' kind of advertising! With his beard, Loudon looks almost unrecognisable, but there's definitely no mistaking the voice. In both concerts he had this routine of wearing a cap for the first few numbers, then putting it back on again for the encores. Strange . . . !!! Much like the following concert, reaction was quite muted. Perhaps this is why he introduced a very well known song ('Twist and Shout') as a sing-a-long type encore. He referred to it as "an Isley Brothers number." 1984 - Second concert recorded on 11/11/84, with songs: Whatever Happened To Us? Plane Too Revenge Be Careful there's a Baby . . . Five Years Old April Fools Day Morn You Kids Today Expatriate Unrequited to the Nth Degree Surfer Queen The Swimming Song Motel Blues Not John Fame and Wealth Suicide Song Career Moves Nocturnal Stumble Butt Dead Skunk Down Drinking at the Bar   Loudon began by apologising that the songs are written in English.   After a couple of songs, he explained that he'd just flown over from Ireland and that Aer Lingus (the Irish state airline) managed to lose his "bags" so his "socks and underwear were stinking up Europe" (thus, he has to wear a Rockpalast T shirt). He dedicated 'Revenge' to Aer Lingus. What struck me about this concert, was the almost total silence with which many of his funny lines and remarks were received. I guess it must be the language barrier. The songs really depend so much on the lyrics.
