Saw the original lineup at the Hammersmith Odeon in the mid 70's on the Original Soundtrack tour. Fantastic show.
I think only Graham Gouldman is left in the touring band - saw them at Silverstone a couple of years ago.

I saw them in the 70's as well. Rainbow Finsbury Park I think.

Gouldman in the only original original although the drummer and lead guitar joined when the Godley and Creme left.

At the Odeon, they opened with ‘One Night in Paris’ - a 3 part opus compared at the time to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.
As I said, a three part piece and there was just one prat in the audience who started applauding and cheering at the end of part one - me. :oops:

If they had been called 10 cubic inches they would have been an imperial band. :D

The reason they chose their name is not for repeating here. :o
