Randy Vanwarmer? 11 studio albums, one top-ten single, I actually enjoy a lot of his music, he's a good songwriter.
Looks like he never toured. I only discovered him because I saw Tony Levin in the credits on one album.

Damn, I forgot about A Small Eternity With Yoko.
And I see the Madison Square Garden thing was earlier than I remembered it being, but now that I think about that, makes sense, because a documentary I saw on Lennon's life in the US suggested that the Elton John concert in 74 was the first time he had seen Yoko since returning to NYC following the end of the "Lost Weekend" period, and so the 72 MSG concert had to have predated the Lost Weekend.
So altogether, John performed seven times in public without George, Ringo and Paul?
Well, yeah, I wasn't disputing that. I was just trying to figure out how one defines "major performance" or whatever, and exactly which performance Thomas was thinking of when he said Lennon had only done one as a solo artist.BUT - he never toured.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
You're thinking of Carly Simon. I saw Janis Ian once, and she was far from being nervous on stage. Carole King didn't tour a lot, but she seems to be very much at home performing before an audience on the concert she did with James Taylor at the Troubadour.
BTW, I do think Carly finally did tour a few years back. I know she did several outdoor shows at Martha's Vineyard (there is a DVD of that). I believe that she rarely ever performed back in the 70-80s.

Scott Walker
Temple Of The Dog
The Prog Corner
Scott Walker did tour in the 60s with The Walker Brothers and then in cabaret through the 70s. Don't think he has since though.

“Remember, if it doesn't say "Cuneiform," it's not prog!” - THE Jed Levin
Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]
"Death to false 'support the scene' prog!"
please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
Re: Gilgamesh/Hatfield And The North Double Quartet:
According the liner notes of the Arriving Twice CD, that's pretty much correct. I can't remember if it was just two gigs, but I got the impression that those involved felt it didn't really work too well. I forget which band member it was who suggested there wasn't a whole lot of the 8 musicians playing together, it was more like the two quartets alternating, and that the "double quartet" concept was better realized in National Health.
If I remember correctly, a couple of the tracks on Arriving Twice originated from the double quartet performances, though I think it's presented there just by Gilgamesh, no Hatfield participation.
