Fact #109902
When:
Short story:
Dogwatch play at The Bridge House, Canning Town, London, UK, supported by Iron Maiden. At this gig, Iron Maiden tries out a new keyboard player, Tony Moore, but he does not remain with the band for very long.
Full article:
Tony Moore : The whole gig was a bit of a blur (as live performances often are). The adrenaline, the nerves, the concentration all played their part to produce a misty memory of the event.
However, I think it is right to say, everyone felt there was something fundamentally not right in what was happening. For my part, I felt that the whole show felt a little pub rock and amateurish, I didn't think that my contribution was actually enhancing the band.
In many ways it was an important bad gig. I think that, had the gig gone well, we may have struggled on with that lineup when, in hindsight, it was so obviously wrong.
The following weeks produced a sense of unrest within the band and a feeling that things were unspoken and resentments and frustrations were being surpressed [sic] just below the surface. I remember the last rehearsal I had with the group, in a railway arch midway between Elephant and Castle and Blackfriars Bridge, where things seemed strained and un-natural.
I think I realised at that point, that the band didn't really need a keyboard player. No matter how much I liked and respected Steve's dream, and passion and energy, I didn't seem to fit in.
