The very first photographs I took of Be Bop Deluxe, I think at Sheffield City Hall, Modern Music tour, were taken using an instamatic type camera, with flash cubes. I'm not sure how, but I actually managed to get some really quite good shots, decent exposures, quite sharp, nice colours and detail. I had two or three enlarged at the time, to 12"x12", if memory serves, including a couple of really nice head shots of Bill.
I will have to fish these out, stashed with other memorabilia in the loft. No one outside of my family and a couple of friends has seen these photographs in over 48 years.
Maybe one day I'll scan them and post a couple on this site.

Man, it's so sad to see iconic buildings and architecture destroyed. Even the ones nowhere near the magnitude of this, the ones on our local cities and towns. Lots near us, over the years, great buildings and certainly part of local history and heritage, gone forever. It would seem local councils etc, take a very indifferent stance, as to their fate = just delete it.
It's a powerful photograph. Also one that could easily deceive the viewer. It could be mistaken for a photograph of construction, not destruction, the site is that neat and tidy.
