A superstar in motion — adored by thousands, trailed by an entourage, and still finding time to laugh over BRAVO’s stories about him

A wiped broadcast, but not a lost moment — “20th Century Boy” thundered through the BBC countdown, turning a simple chart rundown into a glam‑rock lightning strike.

The live album that turned Slade into chart‑crushing giants — March 24, 1972.

A rare 33⅓ RPM promo sampler issued to UK DJs ahead of Slade Alive! — never sold to the public and accompanied by a now‑collectible Polydor letter.

A fan petition for T. Rex, Eurovision drama, and country music on the BBC — 1972 in one chaotic page.

A swaggering hard‑rock confession that became one of the Alice Cooper Group’s defining early singles.

On 17 March 1972, Mister Crisp stepped onto the Birmingham Town Hall stage for a set that would vanish almost instantly into history — except for one detail: they opened for David Bowie on the night before Ziggy Stardust arrived.

A tiny Boston crowd, a rising star named “Reg,” and a psychedelic poster that survived against all odds — the beginning of Elton John’s American story.

On 19 March 1970, David Bowie played a quiet acoustic set at the Three Tuns — his final performance at the pub that had nurtured the Beckenham Arts Lab. Two days later, a small newspaper advert marked the moment in print, a fleeting reminder of a night that quietly closed one era and ushered in the next.
