Note: this list includes only concerts. Brian's bands (1984, Smile) of course recorded studio stuff but that's not listed here (does Brian's garage count as studio when we talk about 1984 demos? :-) Thanks to Dave Dilloway for additional info on '1984'.
1984 (September 1964 - early 1968)
Top Rank Bowl Competition (in order left to right): Tim, Dave, Richard, Jag and Brian
Line-up
Bill Richards (rhythm guitar) and Malcolm Childs (rhythm guitar) also were around the group and played at rehearsals but never played with '1984' live. John Sanger left for university after the first two gigs.
Brian later played with his mate Dave Dilloway in Left Handed Marriage but we're talking only about three recording sessions here (04.04.1967, 28.06.1967, 28.07.1967), he didn't play with them in any gig.
