For the fans; of which there are many - and worldwide. Ah, well. We've still got the memories. And this, my tribute to them (and, yes, I did get Mr. Lea's approval to release this back in 2012).https://johnmedd.bandcamp.com/track/i-wont-let-it-happen-againJohn Meddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547777949324509522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960772098173697898.post-52945345779750792462020-02-10T05:07:33.458-08:002020-02-10T05:07:33.458-08:00Just found a review of, to my shame, my only Slade...Just found a review of, to my shame, my only Slade gig - great evening though!<br /><br />http://www.sladeinengland.co.uk/Press/live%20reviews/slade_hammersmith_odeon_dec_81.htm<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960772098173697898.post-49112207554497297772020-02-10T04:55:37.505-08:002020-02-10T04:55:37.505-08:00You are not alone in regretting going to see Dave&...You are not alone in regretting going to see Dave's 'Slade'.

I'd loved them when I was growing up, in their early '70s heyday, but had never seen them. I knew it wouldn't be even close to the same without Noddy, but thought it would still be fun. Nope. It was dire. We left after 40 minutes. I put on 'Slade Alive' when we got home, to cheer myself up.

The band for intents and purposes were done circa 1988/89 Last gasp with RWoS didn't get them an album deal and the good ship Slade flag was hauled down.
