This was love at first sight: When David Lindley hit the Rockpalast Stage in 1982 Loreley Festival he made a lot of fans in our heavily reggae influenced scene enjoying this show and the records from that era with "El Rayo X"

My first encounter with Kevin Coyne (being a fan of this beautiful loser for years) took place at this festival across the (hard then) french border: Rettel 1980 

On stage with him that day The Clash, "London Calling" was just released, UFO (i would like to have seen them 10 years earlier) and The Cure (presenting "17 Seconds") ... sounds like one has to be overwelmed by the big C's. But, this fat social worker in pink dungarees blew them straight away. 

I don't know the members of his band, sometimes i argue it could've been The Ruts (he had just made a 2LP "Sanity Stomp", one record with Brian Godding and Robert Wyatt and one with The Ruts as band). I dunno, but what I remember was the pure energy just blowing me away (maybe a bit of Mescal was also involved in the experience, too). 

What a beautiful loser! There's a story out there on the Doors asking him to be their singer after jims dead and him just answering "no" to that offer - great work over 3 decades and always heart-touching. When later stranded lost in germany he found his second wife and stayed at nurenberg to his death some decade later. 

[fun fact: also the great moondog found a home in germany, where he stayed living with a family who picked him up for some christmas meal, on an invitation proposed by the daughter as xMas wish ...]

This Rockpalast-Record also shows the legendary Zoot Money playing keybords for kevin. Enjoy!

PS: There's a Youtube Audio out there of the Clash set.
