Some brilliant postings here. Thanks to all for filling in some of the many gaps in my knowledge of the Mr. Fox repertoire. The live concert at St Martin's college was unforgettable, with some small variations from the recorded version of The Gypsy, but the essence was there. Particularly the wonderful single chord harmonium drone sequence, with Bob pedalling to keep up the pressure and also singing. All beautifully kno#itted together. Bob and the bend were generous with their time after the concert, answering questions and even demonstrating songs that wer 'in the pipeline', including the Lovecraftian 'Deep in the cavern where sleeps the great Cthulhu . . '
Outstanding was 'Take me to the captain' with Bob on pounding electric guitar creating a chilling and typically characyter driven scenario within minurtes about the 'Philadelphia experiment' and its effect on those involved. Bob was also kind enough to send me the lyrics when I wrote to him about the somng, though I have never heard it again. Long live the weird and wild sounds of Mr. Fox! Cheers, Peter.
