Back Street Crawler: City Hall, Newcastle
Phil Sutcliffe, Sounds, 22 May 1976
IF YOU want a nice, peaceful night's rock 'n' roll don't go anywhere near a Back Street Crawler gig. It's more like an on the road version of Macbeth. Souls that resisted being torn apart by Tommy will have difficulty in sustaining the Crawler assault.
