What is the earliest known live recording of Bill playing? I'm assuming it's with BBD, but even then, how early in the band's career did anyone keep a gig recording which has survived (however illegally)? I know Bill is no fan of such recordings so this isn't a sharing request, just a straight, factual one.
Thanks for any info you can provide.
Now that is a big step forward! Thanks, Steve. I think that is likely to be this one...
"Friday 16th March 1973 - Carnegie Centre, South Minsthorpe High School, South Elmsall, South Yorkshire."
Can anybody now either beat this (unlikely) or suggest a marginally later one recorded in better quality?
I wonder, for example, if Bill found anything of this sort amongst the items he's discovered in the spare bedroom of his Mum's house? I doubt we would get to hear anything he has, but - as we head towards the 50th anniversary of his first release, I'm intrigued to know what is in the archive/cellar/space under the bed.
