Van and Rory at the Mean Fiddler in London on this day in 1984. Van and Rory were there to see Rockabilly artist Carl Mann play. Pictured between Van and Rory is Trevor Cajiao, owner of "Now Dig This" magazine. Photo taken by Kev Charlton."I was there – like the guys – to see Carl Mann. I was coming out of the gents as Van was coming in. I then spotted him with Rory having something to eat. I asked them if they'd have a photo taken and they agreed." — Trevor Cajiao
Photo of Rory on stage at the Reseda Country Club on this day in 1982. Photo by Sal Guitarez. Thanks Sal!Richard Pusateri was at the soundcheck and the show:"9/23/1982 Reseda Country Club, went by in the afternoon, all the doors were open, so I heard "The Devil Made Me Do It" at the soundcheck (they did NOT play it at the show that night). I hung around the loading dock and after the soundcheck got a chance to chat with Rory a bit. He was cordial but clearly road weary I think they had just driven down from San Francisco. He apologized for being spaced out and he said something about being hung over. The show that night was really good, band in top form. Rory was so sweaty, my girlfriend said he must have lost five pounds!" — Richard Pusateri
