Whats interesting about this list is that it seems Smile played their first listed gig in Truro and then went on to play PJs a total of ten times - as well as the Flamingo in Redruth...

So Queen, with Freddie Mercury played 13 times in Cornwall and Smile, with Tim Staffell, also played 13 or 14 times...BUT strangely this fact is not celebrated in any public space and we're talking here about the second highest selling UK act after the Beatles...

UPDATE: 3/6/10 Will need to check accuracy of those Summer 1968 performances...Roger was playing with Reaction in the Summer of 1968 - did Brian May and Tim Staffell also come down that Summer??? Not according to the biogs which all say that the first Smile gig was at Imperial College supporting Pink Floyd.

UPDATE: 5/6/10 There is an advert in the West Briton for two gigs on the 17th and 18th of April 1970 that are not in this list...

UPDATE: 12/6/10 Just had some correspondence with Mark Blake who is working on what sounds will be an excellent book due out in October. Apparently Richard Thompson who was part of the Smile entourage remembers watching the moon landings in Roger's house on 21st July in 1969.
