EDIT within 2 hours: No, this was actually 2022, but it's a great (quality; sound and vision) video, no wonder Steve posted it himself or, Team Steve Harley posted it for him.

On YouTube, Frome 2 June 2023 seems to be at least one of the latest performances:




Can anyone share any later date than this? The gig calendar has been (understandably) wiped now. It would be nice to know, before the 1st Anniversary of Steve's death, the date of the final gig. Even better if one of the fans shared some of (their) experience. X

No, see 'Big Night In Harrogate', was after this, on 12 June 2023:

If this was the last gig for Steve Harley, then on stage, it couldn't have gone much better (joyous)!

Pretty abundant audience like my last time (in his presence), 19/12/22 (Cheltenham). X

17/05/25 EDIT: Of course Oggy (the first of the four comments attached to that news/link) enables precise identification of the date:

SATURDAY 10 JUNE 2023!

Unless of course another fan knows of any later date. SOLD RIGHT OUT! If that's the last time, that's the way Steve would have liked to leave it. I could see that sort of momentum building for him (again) six months before, in Cheltenham Town Hall. Vindicates all the effort/joy since the 1992 Yes You Can (British and European) tour.

That's also why I suggested (under a separate thread) Steve/Cockney Rebel returning to the New Theatre, Oxford (before the illness). Back in '97, it wasn't quite happening (but Steve's view was unequivocal at the time - '...whether there are 400 or 4000, really doesn't change anything'...) but by 25 years later, it really was gaining, again...

This was another parallel with Ferry. He also realised years before, that for many (dare I say it?) heritage artists, the halcyon days for record sales were no longer viable - touring made it work - and touring they (both) loved.

The photo of the band with the audience in the background was nice and at least two things may have prompted it. Maybe Steve knew it was going to be the last one (?) The other thing is, Steve always had his finger on what was 'happening', culturally/fashionably. Sparks, who broke in the UK, the very same year that Cockney Rebel did - during their World Tour 2022/23, were doing this every night, other bands too...

30/03/25: Jeff68 may have taken the last (or a couple of the last) stills of Steve performing in London. These are likely to have been taken within three weeks of the final performance.

Hi Jem
Our last one was May 2023 in Liverpool
The Epstein theatre which closed its doors
Shortly afterwards due to lack of funding.
I believe Steve donated to keep it going as he has played many a great gig there.
Another beautiful theatre gone. Such a shame.
The gig was sublime. The scousers were in fine form and sang every line.
Take care
Alexa

I'll just thank Alexa again for her response (hope all good with you) - as I am making a fresh post (to get this back in the lead position on the General Discussion Forum).

I have some later dates - for the record - (at least one of these I'm pretty sure went ahead - as I recall someone who was at The Forum in Barrow in Furness - wrote a post to Steve ...) Like Harrogate, these were all performances with the Acoustic Band:

Thursday 15 June 2023 - Morecombe Platform

Friday 16 June 2023 - Barrow (as referred to above)

Saturday 17 June 2023 - Sunderland Fire Station

Monday 19 June 2023 - Lowther Pavilion, Lytham (I remember this being on because the Fylde is where I was brought up and my brother and his family are still there - unfortunately I knew that I wasn't going to be back there until that December - when we saw and heard (The) Sweet at that very venue (that was also the first time I'd been back to the Fylde in nearly five years).

Thursday 29 June 2023 - Kings Lynn Corn Exchange

FRIDAY 30 JUNE 2023 - NEWARK PALACE THEATRE

It would be great if any fan that visits this forum that was present at any of the above (other than the chap that was at Barrow - if you are reading this - thanks for reigniting my memory of your response, which also wouldn't have happened unless I'd managed to find these other possible final dates): to maybe share a memory from [your] gig?

Where I found the above also shows planned November shows already cancelled. If nothing comes of this, we can, in any event, as true fans, revel in the success of Harrogate on the 10 June 2023!!!
