Kevin Coyne: New London Theatre, Drury Lane
Miles, NME, 1973
Without doubt one of the most powerful presentations Ive ever attended. When it was over Kevin was drained, his band was drained, the audience was drained. We sat dazed in a sort of silence after he staggered back on stage to say he couldnt possibly do an encore because he was too shattered.
