The 21 June 1986 gig was my _first ever_ Robyn Hitchcock show - the one that
got me hooked. I think it was a full Egyptians lineup
Robyn-Morris-Andy-Roger. I subsequently bought a tape of that gig which I
still have. What date do you have for Roger leaving the Egyptians?
Naturally I went back for Glastonbury 1987, but was disappointed to find
Matthew Seligman playing instead of Andy. They didn't seem very together,
and stuck to old tunes - Kingdom of Love etc. I didn't really know
anything about the Soft Boys then and I was disappointed at the lack of
songs from 'Element' and 'Fegmania'.
Round about the same time (1987-88) I saw a few 3-piece Egyptians gigs at
Moles in Bath, at the Bierkeller in Bristol and at the Western Star Domino
Club (great name for a gig) also in Bristol. After that I basically lost
sight of Robyn until I heard about the first of the Isle of Wight events
in 1995(?).

actually, i was just listening to the show last week, and in introducing the
band, robyn actually introduced their "long-time" road manager, howard
gilman (presumably the same "howie" that andy can be heard addressing in
STAND BACK, DENNIS!). -- Tewsie
