    Slade in 1975 doing their best to win over a not-entirely-on-side crowd at the San Francisco Winterland:

    How Does It Feel

    Mama Weer All Crazy Now


    And for the Hell of it, here’s SIF writer Andrew Birkin’s directorial debut, his 1981 adaptation of Hector “Saki” Munro’s macabre short story “Sredni Vashtar”


    We played:


    “Far Far Away” (Noddy Holder/Jim Lea)


    “How Does It Feel” (Noddy Holder/Jim Lea)


    Special thanks to Kesia Lazarus for piano on “How Does It Feel”
