Teenage Outrage in Croydon: the MC5
Charles Shaar Murray, Cream, March 1972
THE Fox in Crydon, Surrey, is a very long way indeed from the Grande Ballroom in Dee-troit, Michigan, and the MC5 were a very long way from home, but it didnt seem to matter. The stage was too small, there was no lighting worthy of the name, the gig was chronically under-advertised, and there was every reason to doubt that any significant proportion of the audience knew who the MC5 were.
