Eddie And The Hot Rods: Rainbow Theatre, London
Chas de Whalley, Sounds, 26 February 1977
ALMOST a Black Sabbath job, this one. You know, up goes the safety curtain, there's the band already head first and accelerating into 'Get Across To You' and the whole theatre is on its feet, bouncers swept away as the kids flood down the aisle. Eddie and the Hot Rods are back in town.
