Smokey Memories June 3, 2007
Quite often we get anonymous recollections from fans of the website and we'd like to share one with you today about Holy Smoke:
" I saw Holy Smoke open for T. Rex and Blue Oyster Cult at the Memorial Arena in 1974 or 1975. They were famous for doing a hendrix style version of the Canadian national anthem. T.Rex had their equipment stopped at the US border and had to use part of BOC's system. Marc Bolan was very pissed off and gave us a poor performance. BOC stole the show and Holy Smoke made Victoria very proud. Also, Holy Smoke did lot's of high school dances and did the best cover of Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven." ... anonymous!
Our thanks to Keith Baker for todays audio addition.
Todays audio update: Holy Smoke (Shine On Through 1976)
