Big Star Live Part II. Frank from Memphis recently sent me a scan of a review of Big Star playing at the famous Rock Writers Convention from Phonograph Record magazine (thanks, Frank). I tried to track down any reviews of the gig while writing the book and came up short (this wasn't in the Ardent archives nor available through Rock's Back Pages). It's a long (and glowing) piece by Mike Saunders. Here's the partial set list based on Mike's account:

Feel (opener)

In The Street

My Life Is Right

Don't Lie To Me

When My Baby's Beside Me

[after "six or seven songs" Alex switched to acoustic]

Thirteen

Ballad of El Goodo

[after four acoustic songs Alex back to the Stratocaster]

rest of set included:

My Life Is Right (again)

Come On Now (Kinks)

Around and Around (Chuck Berry)

Slut

encore:

The Letter [Alex introduced as "This is a song you may remember..."]
