A while ago Slade played at Knebworth or Reading or some such festival.
When they came on they were met with a barrage of hostility but by the end the crowd were demanding they play "Merry Xmas Everybody" and went into raptures when they did.
"We were always a good live act" says Mr Holder.
To front a hostile mob and turn it around like that really takes something. |

It was quite a moment at Knebworth at the first Nordoff Robbins event when Jimmy Page was re-united with Robert Plant, live on stage.
Elton suddenly emerging under spotlight with George Michael singing "Don`t Let the Sun Go down On Me"(can`t remember where that was, but I had goosebumps), and then there`s the , um ,how can I put it?.. other end of the scale.
The Clash at Hyde Park circa 78/79, a sudden surprise guest jumped on stage:S
I tell you what readers and posters, I won`t mention his name as I have given him so much stick on here this year.

You couldn't beat U2 playing Ben E King's Stand By Me as part of the warmups and then slowly realising it wasn't him half way through but the band playing along un-noticed, snuck onstage with no fuss.
I loved that! |
