    38 years ago today was the only time I ever saw Uncle Frank on his Them Or Us tour at the Hammersmith Odeon in London. I was in the back row (row Z) downstairs for the evening show, he played twice the same night! The sound was excellent and I hadn't long been introduced to his music as a friend had recently given me Tinseltown Rebellion and I was so blown away by it I jumped at the first chance I had to see him live, he returned to the UK once more (in 1988) after this tour but this night was pretty damn good.

    tracklist of the evening show

    Roland Hyams Rap, Chunga's Revenge, Teenage Wind, Truck Driver Divorce, Tinsel Town Rebellion, Trouble Every Day, Penguin In Bondage (q: God Save The Queen), Hot Plate Heaven At The Green Hotel, Evil Prince, Ride My Face To Chicago, He's So Gay, Bobby Brown, Keep It Greasey, Honey Don't You Want A Man Like Me?, Carol You Fool, Chana In De Bushwop, Let's Move To Cleveland, The Closer You Are, No No Cherry, Baby Take Your Teeth Out, Sharleena, Whipping Post
