Pray indulge me, officer, if I briefly philosophise. What's really true - the way you remember things happening, or the way the facts have been recorded by history?I'm pondering this because over 40 years ago - 42-ish to be vaguely precise - I witnessed a gig I recall one way while what little historical evidence there is recalls it quite another. The venue was the Alexander Rooms in Salisbury Wiltshire, that bit's for sure. Salisbury was the town I grew up in and The Alex Rooms were made up of a nondescript, low-ceiling-ed suite with a tiny dance floor and an even smaller bar -the sort of place that serves as a functional catch-all in backwater market towns the length and breadth of the UK, anonymous enough to host municipal matters, sports prize-givings and wedding receptions.
