Concert broadcasts:


Paris Theatre, London, UK, probably 6 or 7/1976
(BBC "In Concert" radio broadcast by Michael Chapman/GP & The Rumour, first aired 7/24/1976, hosted by Pete Drummond)

White Honey / That's What They All Say / Back To Schooldays / Howlin' Wind / Chain of Fools / Don't Ask Me Questions / Not If It Pleases Me / Soul Shoes


Bottom Line, NYC, USA, 8/17/1976
(WNYU radio broadcast)

White Honey / Back To Schooldays / Lady Doctor / Just Something You're Going Through / Back Door Love / That's What They All Say / Fools' Gold / Chain of Fools / Gypsy Blood / Don't Ask Me Questions / Soul Shoes


Savoy Tivoli, San Francisco, USA, 11/7/1976
(KSAN radio broadcast)

White Honey / That's What They All Say / Fools' Gold / Turned Up Too Late / Just Something You're Going Through / Pouring It All Out / Back To Schooldays / Hotel Chambermaid / Heat Treatment / Don't Ask Me Questions / Not If It Pleases Me / Help Me Shake It / Soul Shoes // Kansas City / Hold Back The Night


Golders Green Hippodrome, London, UK, 3/17/1977
(BBC "Sight & Sound In Concert" TV and radio broadcast, first broadcast 3/26/77, UK)
("Stereo Pop Special" BBC Transcription Service disc #148, 1977, UK)
("BBC Rock Hour" #43, airdate 7/25/1977, USA)

White Honey (*/**) / Hotel Chambermaid / Lady Doctor (NP) / Heat Treatment (TV) / Silly Thing (TV/NP) / Howlin' Wind (IC) / Fools' Gold (TV/NP) / Back to Schooldays / Pourin' It All Out (*/TV) / Gypsy Blood (TV/NP) / Don't Ask Me Questions (TV) / Hold Back The Night (*/TV/IC) / Not If It Pleases Me (TV/NP) / New York Shuffle (NP) / Soul Shoes (TV/IC) / Kansas City (TV/NP)

(*) Not on "BBC Rock Hour"
(**) Not on BBC "Stereo Pop Special"
(IC) These songs are included in the "BBC Live In Concert" CD
(NP) These songs are included in the "Not If It Pleases Me" CD
(TV) Only those tracks were featured on the BBC TV broadcast

- This is a show with the Rumour and the horn section. The tracks from the TV broadcast can be found on the Windsong CD "Live On The Test," WHISCD002, UK 1994. Unfortunately all the recordings on this CD are just in mono, when they could have used the stereo radio tapes, as they did on the tracks later included in the "BBC Live In Concert" and "Not If It Pleases Me" CDs.

Since in the list of all Whistle Test shows from 1972 to 1978 issued in VOX 9/94 there's no mention of this show, I guess the BBC TV broadcast even wasn't for the Whistle Test.


Stanley Warner Theater, Pittsburgh, PA, USA, 10/19/1977
(radio broadcast)

GP and the Rumour with the horn section

Heat In Harlem / Fools' Gold / Watch The Moon Come Down / Thunder & Rain / Stick To Me / Tear Your Playhouse Down / Don't Ask Me Questions / Pourin' It All Out / The New York Shuffle / Soul Shoes


Palladium, NYC, USA, 10/22/1977
("King Biscuit Flower Hour" by GP/Robin Trower, airdate 11/13/1977)
("Thirsty Ear" by GP/City Boy, airdate 1/22/1978)
("Wolfgang's Vault" download, 2007)

Heat Treatment (KB/TE) / White Honey (KB/TE) / Lady Doctor (KB/TE) / Soul on Ice (KB/TE) / Back to Schooldays (KB/TE) / The Heat in Harlem (KB/TE) / Fools' Gold / Watch The Moon Come Down / Thunder & Rain / Stick to Me (KB) / Tear Your Playhouse Down / Don't Ask Me Questions / The New York Shuffle / Soul Shoes / Hold Back The Night

(KB): Only these tracks were featured on the "King Biscuit Flower Hour" broadcast
(TE): Only these tracks were featured on the "Thirsty Ear" broadcast

- I think "Lady Doctor," "Back to Schooldays," "The Heat in Harlem" and maybe also "Heat Treatment" from this show ended up (probably in remixed form) on "The Parkerilla." The "Thirsty Ear" broadcast also included two short GP interview snippets by Peter Gordon.


Palace Theatre, Manchester, UK, 11/14/1977
(Piccadilly Radio Manchester broadcast)

Heat Treatment / White Honey / Soul on Ice / Back to Schooldays / Watch the Moon Come Down / Thunder and Rain / The Heat in Harlem / Tear Your Playhouse Down / Don't Ask Me Questions (?) / Not If It Pleases Me / The New York Shuffle / Soul Shoes / Pourin' It All Out / Hold Back The Night / Clear Head

- Again a few tracks from this show ended up on "The Parkerilla." I just don't hear that any track from the actual broadcast is included. In my ears all seem to be a bit different to the ones found on "The Parkerilla."


Stadsschouwburg, Rotterdam, Netherlands, 12/19/1977
(KRO radio broadcast, first aired 1/21/1978)

GP and the Rumour with the horn section

Back to Schooldays / Hotel Chambermaid / The Heat in Harlem / Fools' Gold / Watch the Moon Come Down / Tear Your Playhouse Down / Don't Ask Me Questions / Not If It Pleases Me / The New York Shuffle / Soul Shoes / Pourin' It All Out / Hold Back the Night

- A partial later rebroadcast also included "Stick To Me."


WDR Studio-L, Cologne, Germany, 1/23/1978
(WDR "Rockpalast" TV concert)

GP and the Rumour with the horn section

Heat Treatment / White Honey / Soul on Ice / Back to Schooldays / Fools' Gold (*) / Heat In Harlem (*) / Watch The Moon Come Down (*) / Thunder & Rain (*) / Stick to Me / Tear Your Playhouse Down / Don't Ask Me Questions / Not If It Pleases Me / New York Shuffle / Soul Shoes (*) / Hold Back The Night (*)

(*) Those songs were not included in a later rebroadcast


Buergerzentrum Vahr, Bremen, Germany, 1/24/1978
(Radio Bremen "Grosser Popkarton" radio broadcast, first aired 3/29/1978)

Graham Parker (lead voc, g), Brinsley Schwarz (g), Martin Belmont (g), Steve Goulding (dr), Andrew Bodnar (b), Bob Andrews (keyb), Ray Beavis (sax), Chris Gower (tb), Dick Hanson (tp), John Earle (bs)

White Honey (2:50) / Soul On Ice (3:00) / Back To Schooldays (2:30) / The Heat In Harlem (8:05) / Fool's Gold (4:15) / Watch The Moon Come Down (5:20) / Thunder And Rain (3:10) / Stick To Me (3:20) / Tear Your Playhouse Down (3:45) / Don't Ask Me Questions (5:00) / Not If It Pleases Me (3:00) / New York Shuffle (3:00) / Soul Shoes (3:00) / Hold Back The Night (3:10)


Chicago, 1978
(PBS "Soundstage" TV-show, audio also simulcast on WXRT in stereo, probably aired 2/23/1978)

GP and the Rumour with the horn-section

Stick To Me / Fools' Gold / Tear Your Playhouse Down / Don't Ask Me Questions / Heat Treatment / Thunder & Rain / New York Shuffle / Soul Shoes

- Great stuff. Much better than on the "Parkerilla." Also on this show was Rick Danko who played "Tired Of Waiting." The Rumour must have liked this song, as one year later it turned up on their own album.


Don't Ask Me Questions

TV Theatre, London, 3/20/1978
(BBC "Old Grey Whistle Test" TV-show, aired 3/21/1978)

Stick To Me / Problem Child / Back Door Love / Thunder & Rain / Turned Up Too Late / Fools' Gold / Saturday Nite Is Dead / Tear Your Playhouse Down / Don't Ask Me Questions / Soul Shoes

- With the horn section. All tracks with the exception of "Fool's Gold" and the last two can be found (in mono, unfortunately) on the Windsong "Live On The Test" CD.


Pinkpop Festival, Geleen, Netherlands, 5/15/1978
(KRO radio broadcast, probably aired 6/4/1978)

GP and the Rumour with the horn-section

Back Door Love / Soul On Ice / Hotel Chambermaid / Back To Schooldays / Love Gets You Twisted / Thunder & Rain / Fool's Gold / Saturday Nite Is Dead / Watch The Moon Come Down / I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down / Don't Ask Me Questions / Heat Treatment / New York Shuffle / Soul Shoes


Town Hall, Christchurch, New Zealand, 9/4/1978
(TV broadcast)

GP and the Rumour with the horn-section

Back To Schooldays / Thunder & Rain / Heat Treatment / Heat In Harlem / I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down / Don't Ask Me Questions / Saturday Night Is Dead / Fools' Gold / New York Shuffle / Soul Shoes

- This TV show also has been rebroadcast in Sweden. It starts with an aboriginal Maori song done by local people, then goes on to a short interview with Graham and some backstage talk. Then follows the show, again interrupted by a few interview snippets with Graham.


NHK 101 studio, Tokyo, Japan, 10/1/1978
(NHK public television "Young Music Show" TV broadcast, first aired 12/29/1978)

GP and the Rumour with the horn-section

Stick To Me / Thunder & Rain / Protection / Mercury Poisoning / Passion Is No Ordinary Word / Tear Your Playhouse Down / Don't Ask Me Questions / Hold Back The Night / Waiting For The UFO's / New York Shuffle / Soul Shoes

- Many new songs here. This is my favourite "Mercury Poisoning" performance. And to this ears, a bit in contrast to what GP often has said, the songs from "Squeezing Out Sparks" sound quite the same as they did later on the album.


Hammersmith Odeon, London, 4/3/1979
(BBC "In Concert" radio broadcast, 1979, UK)
("In Concert" BBC Transcription Service disc, 1979, UK)
("BBC Rock Hour," 1979, USA)
("BBC Rock Hour" #138 by GP/Dire Straits, airdate 9/21/1980, USA)

Discovering Japan (IC) / Local Girls (IC) / Thunder & Rain / Don't Get Excited (IC) / Back to Schooldays (IC) / Passion Is No Ordinary Word (IC) / Mercury Poisoning (IC) / Howlin' Wind (**) / Heat Treatment (**) / Stick To Me / Love Gets You Twisted / Crawling From The Wreckage / Saturday Nite Is Dead / Nobody Hurts You / Soul Shoes (*) / Protection

(*) Not on "In Concert" BBC Transcription Service disc
(**) Not on "BBC Rock Hour" from 1979
The 1980 "BBC Rock Hour" starts with "Stick To Me" and omits "Soul Shoes"
(IC) Those songs ended up on the "BBC Live In Concert" CD

- This features the only half-official GP & the Rumour recording of "Crawling From The Wreckage," well known through the Dave Edmunds version. Hope this version once escapes on a rarities collection. The "In Concert" BBC Transcription Service disc reversed the running order of "Howlin' Wind" (first track on side 2) and "Heat Treatment" (last track on side 1). None of the broadcasts are complete, since even the BBC radio broadcast that included all the songs mentioned did fadeout during "Protection."


Old Waldorf, San Francisco, 4/9/1979 (show #1)
(KSAN radio broadcast)

Discovering Japan / Local Girls / Thunder & Rain / Don't Get Excited / Back To Schooldays / Passion Is No Ordinary Word / Mercury Poisoning / Howlin' Wind / Heat Treatment / Stick To Me / You Can't Be Too Strong / Love Gets You Twisted / Clear Head / Don't Ask Me Questions / Saturday Nite Is Dead / Nobody Hurts You / Protection

(*) Not on "The Best Kept Girl In The West" boot LP
(LS) To my ears those songs ended up on "Live Sparks"

- Half of the tracks from "Live Sparks" came from this show, the rest originated from the Park West Chicago 4/28/1979 show below. And is this the show where the GP songs from the later King Biscuit Flower Hour by Roxy Music and GP (airdate Feb 3, 1980) came from?


Roxy, Los Angeles, USA, 4/14/1979
(KMET radio broadcast)
("Local Girls" boot LP, Impossible Recordworks 1-102)

(LS) To my ears those songs ended up on "Live Sparks"
