I've got the following setlist for a Marvin & Farrar gig at Lakeside on 31st March 1974.

Keep the Customer Satisfied
Lonesome Mole
Wonderful Land
Music Makes My Day
Marmaduke
Turn Around and Touch Me
Flingel Bunt
Lara's Theme
Tiny Robin
Time Drags By
Take Me Home, Country Roads
Banks of the Ohio
In the Country
The Day I Met Marie
Apache
FBI
Lucille-Rip It Up-Blue Suede Shoes


This is at the back of the Cliff paperback by Patrick Doncaster and Tony Jasper. The line-up, apparently, was:- Hank Marvin and John Farrar plus Cliff Hall (keyboards), Dave Ackley (bass), Andrew Steele (drums), Jean Hawker (vocals).

I don't know if any other setlists still exist. There's the M&F side of the Cliff in Japan '72 double album (rec. Sept 22-23rd 1972) which includes Flingel Bunt (with a great 'Eastern' arrangement!), Mr Sun, Apache, Lonesome Mole, Tiny Robin, A Thousand Conversations (Hank - lead vocal), Bye Bye Love, Something and Keep the Customer Satisfied...plus Backscratcher.
[/i]. This was available on one of the Italian Fremus CDs (Dakota) and is a brilliant performance - especially KTCS - which shows what a great live act they were (IMHO). I saw a newspaper review of one of their concerts years ago which said that they were better than Crosby, Stills and Nash!

I've just realised this was discussed a couple of years ago...

Indeed it was. I contributed to that thread and have zero recollection of doing so :oops:

Thanks for the setlist - Again - Clive! :)
