Where were you on the evening of the 21 st April 1978? I was seated in the Lewisham Odeon watching the mighty Bo Diddley and the equally mighty Carl Perkins strut their stuff supported by rockabilly band Matchbox. I don't now recall any of the music played that evening (except, rather strangely, I remember Matchbox singing 'Settin' The Woods On Fire') but I bet 'Bo Diddley' and 'Blue Suede Shoes' figured in there somewhere. I now know this thanks to Ian Wallis's 'More American Rock 'N' Roll - The UK Tours 1973-84' which is a sequel to his equally niftily titled 'American Rock 'N' RolI- The UK Tours 1956-72'. Here, Ian details every known gig played in the twelve-year period, listing the artists, the dates, the venues, the tour organiser, the personnel, television appearances and a review of each tour. This isn't a book to read from cover to cover but a great one to dip into as the mood takes you. The first thing I did was to search for the gigs I'd seen and relive some great memories Ian Wallis has put in a tremendous amount of research into this book Fred Rothwell, Blues & Rhythm 272 (September 2012)
