@lordmelton - You're Welsh? I'd have had no idea; that's great! I like all that incestuous Welsh psychedelic scene with Help Yourself, the Neutrons, Deke, Malcolm, Ken, etc, as well as "newer" bands like the Manics. I've had that double 10 inch Live at the Padget Rooms Penarth for decades; it was a really hard-to-find import for a long time. Also a big fan of some Welsh writers like Niall Griffiths (and Deke Leonard himself!). And we used to have a Welsh pub in San Francisco called Dylan's with a landlord called Titch and Brains on draft!
I first saw Man when they opened for Hawkwind on the '1999 Tour' in 1974. Then a local DJ named Ron Sanchez became a super fan of their's and they'd play Man all the time on a radio station in San Jose, KOME, which is why San Francisco became one of two places in the US to really take them into our hearts, the other being Chicago, and they played here a number of times as support and as headliners through the '74 - '76 era, including a couple with Cippo. I've got some great photos of them from a couple of shows here. And Ron Sanchez ended up as producer of 'Call Down the Moon'...
In the immortal words of the lads, "I like to eat bananas, because they got no bones... I like marijuana, because it gets me stoned."
