On tour with Al Stewart in San Francisco by Jenny Fung
This photo was taken by Jenny Fung, who I didn't know at the time, but has since become a great friend and photo journalist. She keeps exquisite documentation which is why I know exactly when this photo was taken. April 21st 1981. Thanks Jenny!"

"On Tour 1988"
Taken at the Roxy Theatre, W.Hollywood, CA in Autumn 1988.
I was on tour with Al Stewart to promote his CD "Last Days Of The Century". After 12 years with Al I was getting ready to record on my own. Very soon after this tour I started work on my first CD "Reveillez-Vous", (means wake up in French). To the right, on drums and slightly out of frame, is Steve Chapman who became my manager and still is to this day.

1988. - "University of Rhode Island". by Randy Armor
"Al Stewart and I had done a few duo shows before in Europe but always with the addition of electronic keyboards which I played. This show was the very first where we decided to use only acoustic guitars. We were "unplugged" as it were and this became the format for the 1992 Al Stewart CD "Rhymes in Rooms" and for many subsequent shows".

1988. - "University of Rhode Island". by Randy Armor
"This portrait of Al and I before this show is my favourite. We were probably a little nervous because after over a decade of playing with a full band, we were going to greet the audience with only 2 acoustic guitars. "

1988. - "University of Rhode Island". by Randy Armor
"After the initial trepidation about playing without a band, we got into the swing of it and these shows became really exhilarating for me. We were flying by the seat of our pants on most nights because we never rehearsed the show. The arrangements came out of playing live". |
