Brian Eno and the Winkies - "Peel Session 26/02/1974"


Yes, Pub Rock band 'The Winkies' accompanied everyone's favourite 'non-musician' Brian Eno, on his first solo tour in 1974.
Unfortunately for Bri', after five dates,he got a collapsed lung, and that was that!
They did however manage a John Peel session for the BBC, showcasing his particular brand of Arty Rock.Doing mostly tracks from "Here Come The Warm Jets", plus a camp version of Peggy Lee's classic "Fever"......this must have sounded like it came from outer space in 1974.
Good isn't he? 

Tracklisting:

1/ The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch
2/ Baby's On Fire / Totalled
3/ Fever

Not sure that the Winkies don't made ENO's music sound, rather ordinary for though they make a decent fist of it stripped of the Fripperies and so on of the Warm Jets sessions it is all a bit nothing in particular. The collapsed lung must have been a blessing and I don't think he has toured since - though he did those dates with Cale, Ayres and Nico which are much better...
