After a two day break from touring, T Rex ventured north to Birmingham. Steve Harley, one of Marc's closest friends and fellow EMI stablemate, attended this concert. Steve Harley has confirmed that Marc wanted him to go on stage for a song, presumably to sing Dandy in the Underworld as Harley was familiar with this song due to singing background vocals on the album track, however Harley decided not to.

​

A good quality recording of this concert has been in circulation as a cassette tape for a number of years and in recent times has been available as a bootleg CD.

​

The Birmingham Odeon was primarily a large cinema that also held a number of pop and rock concerts. The Odeon ceased as a music venue in 1987 and is now a multiplex cinema with 8 screens.

​

NB: For some reason, the tour itinerary states that The Damned would go on stage at 7.15pm, yet the gig ticket clearly shows a 7.30pm start. I have spoken to someone who attended the gig and he has no recollection of the gig starting earlier than 7.30pm.
