OK, I'll fess up here - even now I'm blushing, and it was years ago! I was the Midlands correspondent for 'Melody Maker' for a couple of years, and I wrote masses of live reviews, sometimes two or three a week. After one particularly frought week, I was typing (shows my age there!)in the wee small hours ready for the print deadline the next day, and I sent my review in, all t's crossed, and i's dotted, and I called the band by the wrong name! I can still hear the Reviews Editor querying if I had seen the band I was suposed to have seen, or was there a change of headline act or the last minute or .....? The silence said it all - yes I had lost the plot! That said, I never ever watched a band from the bar,or left before the end, I said what I thought, based on my experience. There is a wonderful story of respected journalist Richard Williams reviewing the Lennon / Ono 'Two Virgins' album and waxing lyrical for some paragraphs about the 'minimalist' opening soundwave, which Mr Williams decided eventually reached a tonal sense of its own oneness, or some such drivel. He was mortified to find that (remember this is the early days of stero production) the engineers had placed the usual electronic tone at the beginning of the master recording, to establish correct stereo balance, but had forgotten to erase it before the pressing, so the review copies had the engineering tone at the beginning, but it was entirely accidental, and nothing to do with John and Yoko being avant garde at all! Now that makes me feel a whole lot better about confusing one band name with another.
