Guitarist Ray Fenwick “recalls Touring” with The IAN GILLAN BAND in the 70’s was a wild affair, both on and off stage..In the best traditions of Rock n Roll we courted our fair share of controversy, but come Showtime we turned into a tight professional outfit, performing our own unique brand of rock music. It was on 14th May 1977, in front of a full house at The Rainbow, Theatre, London we were promoting the ‘Clear Air Turbulence’ album. Chris Blackwell the label owner was there that night checking out his “investment”.
Meat Loaf certainly requires no introduction, he burst onto the world music stage in 1977 with his landmark release Bat Out Of Hell, which transformed him from a stage actor into a rock ‘n’ roll icon. The 11 concert sell out tour of Australia and New Zealand was an enormous success and this show celebrates the global phenomenon that is Meat Loaf.
London’s Marquee Club celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 1983 and this show features performances from bands and artists that have performed at one of the longest established venues in rock history over that period.
