Memories on this night
"I remember seeing Gong perform in September 1975 - all 3 three nights. On one of the nights there was a power failure of some kind just as the band came onstage. I recall Steve Hillage not being too impressed. There are 4 tracks from one of the nights on the Gong "Live Etc" album."
