This fan memory was written by Ralph Spurrier.

Southampton UK early 70's and I was eager to see GG for the first time in concert. Their support act had, apparently, cancelled and so a new band, just off the boat from Australia, were called in at the last minute. The band? Split Enz with the Finn brothers. They came on with whitened up faces and we thought they were going to be trash but they just blew us all away. THEN we got GG coming on and the whole evening just took off into the stratosphere. If any of the GG crew ever read this - thanks a million for the great music.
