This fan memory was written by John Fallon.

I was living in Birmingham, England when I was 'into' GG. In fact they were my very first band that I saw live as it were. (about 1975 ish) They were in a double gig with a band called 'Wild Turkey' at the Birmingham town hall. There is another story about that. The drummer (John Weathers I think) spotted smoke in the upper eaves of the hall after the gig and alerted the local fire service. There was a press article the following day saying that if it wasn't for the prompt action of the drummer the town hall would have burnt down. Good ole' GG.
