Following on from last week's excursion into seventies British Prog Rock with Yes, I unearthed this flyer from 1972.
Advertising Thursday nights at the 'Toby Jug' pub in Tolworth. 
Given the size of the venue compared to the size of the bands playing: David Bowie, Manfred Mann and Status Quo it was probably packed out most weeks.
If you'd been there last night, in 1972, you'd have seen Atomic Rooster and no doubt they'd have played this week's STAR TRACK.
They had followed up the earlier hit single "Tomorrow Night"* in the summer of 1971 with "Devil's Answer". It reached No.4 on the UK charts and here they are performing it on 'Top of the Pops'.
Vincent Crane (keyboards) was the one constant member in an ever changing Atomtic Rooster line-up and as a result I can't tell you who supplies the excellent guitar work on this track. 
Hit it !
