17 year old Doug Bogie is now Queen's bassist, but he would only last two gigs.
Queen were on the bottom of the bill (they didn't even make it onto the poster, although they're listed in the Melody Maker ad), and less than ten people showed up. Bogie later recalled the venue to be a "shithole," and that Freddie played the gig with his back to the audience.
Bogie recalls playing Stone Cold Crazy and Son And Daughter at his couple gigs with the band.
