1979/01/29 broadcasted from BBC, approx 59 min TV program. Starting from introduction by Alan Black, funny that audience booed at Alan when he appeared.

1992     Seemed to be issued as Calling Hard in G-MEN Bootleg Series Volume One 3CD box officially released.

BBCテレビで1月29日に放送。冒頭番組司会者のアラン・ブラックが登場すると、なぜか客席からブーイングが起こる。

上記リストから8曲が入れられた『Calling Hard』というタイトルのブートレッグが出回ったが、それを後の1992年、ロリー自身のストレンジ・レコード社がそのままCD化し『G-MEN Bootleg Series』という3CDボックスで発売してしまった。

Macroom Festival 1977

1977/06/26     Mountain Dew Festival, Macroom Castle, County Cork, Ireland

It was the first large open air rock festival in Ireland. I have not yet got any recordings, but  heard that Bullfrog Blues was the opening song of Rory's show.

アイルランド初の野外ロックフェスティバルだと言われる。ロリーは1曲めからいきなり「ブルフロッグ・ブルース」だったと驚くべき証言を耳にしたが、音源はまだ見つかっておらず確認できない。

1974年にTVスタジオライブで始まった『ロックパラスト』が、初の大ホールでのフェスティバルを開催、欧州の多くの国で生中継された。ロリーの他にリトル・フィート、元バーズのロジャー・マッギンが出演。ロリーは前夜モントルー・ジャズ・フェスティバルの出演を終えてから、睡眠時間わずか2時間でドイツのエッセンへと駆けつけた。そこで出演順を巡ってバンド間に言い争いが勃発。嫌気がさしたロリーは自分達が最初でよいと言い、スタート直後の午後9時30分に視聴率2800万を叩き出した。大トリの栄誉を勝ち取ったはずのロジャー・マッギンだったが、彼の演奏が終了する午前2時30分の視聴率は100万。視聴者の多くが途中でテレビを消して寝てしまったらしい。

ロリーのバンドとツアーやフェスティバルで当時しばしば一緒になり、「Rue The Day」「Mississippi Sheiks」などの演奏に参加することもあったアイルランドのフィドラー、ジョー・オドネルのケルティック・アイリッシュ・コンセプト・アルバム。「ゲイルズ・ヴィジョン」と読む。ロリーが参加し何曲か録音したはずだが、1977年のLPリリース時には「Poets And Storytellers」1曲しか収録されなかった。2004年にCapoから再発されたCDは、ボーナストラックとしてもう1曲「Lament For Coire Sainnte」（これまたゲール語が読めない）を加えた。

When the show was about to end, after Bullfrog Blues and before encore song Country Mile, promoter announced to audience "Stay on your seat. Do not run up toward the stage. You are like childish maniacs of Bay City Rollers. Be more adult!" but it made audience ado louder.

雑誌記事によれば会場入り口で見つかって取り上げられたテープレコーダーは100台以上（数字は誇張だと思うが）。それをすり抜けることに成功した客席録音から知ることができるが、特に夜の部の客席の興奮は凄かったようで、「Bullfrog Blues」でプログラムがいったん終了しアンコールが始まるまでの間に、「自分の席で立ち上がるのはいいが、前方に駆け寄るのはやめなさい。それではまるでベイ・シティ・ローラーズのファンと同じだ。君たちは大人だろう？」というようなじつに失敬で横柄な口調の会場アナウンスがあり、客席はかえって大騒ぎになる。
