Hunter\/Ronson toured in 1975, with a UK tour in March and early April 1975, and a US tour in April\/May. Devine’s normally reliable book seems to be missing some of the US tour dates, such as April 18\/19 (?) at the Uptown Theatre in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. You can see some photos from one of these gigs here<\/a>; the photographer says this was March 20 1975 which is impossible as the duo were in Sheffield that day. Lots of misinformation out there.<\/p>\n

Still, it seems to have been a great tour. The bootleg described here<\/a> shows that there were Ronson as well as Hunter songs in the setlist:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Once Bitten Twice Shy <\/li>\n
  2. Lounge Lizard <\/li>\n
  3. Angel No 9 <\/li>\n
  4. Who Do You Love <\/li>\n
  5. White Light\/White Heat <\/li>\n
  6. Boy <\/li>\n
  7. Play Don’t Worry <\/li>\n
  8. The Truth, The Whole Truth, Nothin’ But The Truth <\/li>\n
  9. Roll Away The Stone <\/li>\n
  10. Slaughter On 10th Avenue <\/li>\n
  11. The Golden Age Of Rock ‘n’ Roll\/All The Way From Memphis <\/li>\n
  12. All The Young Dudes <\/li>\n
  13. The Girl Can’t Help It<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Of course this is not complete and a bootleg is not the most reliable source, but you get the idea. Songs 3,5,7,10 and 13 are from Ronson’s solo albums, Slaughter on 10th Avenue and Play Don’t Worry.<\/p>\n

    It’s a shame that Proper Music’s Ian Hunter box Stranded in Reality has nothing from this tour. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
