I think it was from this shoot:
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I swear I've seen the one I posted in color before (that's how it popped up in my memory when I saw your post), but can't find now. But yeah, yours was new to me too. I don't think I'm familiar with others from this shoot though.Marky Dread wrote: ↑29 May 2020, 5:13pmAhh yes I'm aware of that mate. I have lots of others from that shoot.

Nice pic. Phil Hardy then Gary Hassett were the consecutive drummers with Whirlwind. Never heard of George Butler.

That's per discussions on the thread. It would explain the "Mister George" thank you Joe gives, but I can't find a lot of details on the band. It might be worth a deep dive.Marky Dread wrote: ↑11 Jun 2020, 11:53amNice pic. Phil Hardy then Gary Hassett were the consecutive drummers with Whirlwind. Never heard of George Butler.

Drummer Phil Hardy replaced by Garry Bassett late 1978.

Maybe George was a roadie?

Re: clash images washed up on the internet's seashore
I think George was a jobbing drummer, probably called in by Whirlwind for the gig. It looks like him.Marky Dread wrote: ↑15 Jun 2020, 9:51amVocals Nigel Dixonmatedog wrote: ↑15 Jun 2020, 9:35amThat's per discussions on the thread.

Re: clash images washed up on the internet's seashore
Yes I just read Bakers web page and he states Topper was late and Mick had told Baker he would have to stand in as he had played along at rehearsals on the odd occasion. He said he was very nervous at the thought of playing in front of 1000's. Luckily George Butler stepped up at the last minute. I've got some Whirlwind stuff and never heard of George so maybe he was just a stand in for live shows.Heston wrote: ↑15 Jun 2020, 9:55amI think George was a jobbing drummer, probably called in by Whirlwind for the gig.
