===''Skid'' and ''34 Hours''=== With the returning Bridgeman, Skid Row played support to some of the great rock groups of the 1960s, including [[Fleetwood Mac]] in January 1970. Moore was influenced by the Fleetwood Mac guitarist [[Peter Green (musician)|Peter Green]], who was in turn impressed by Moore's guitar playing and introduced him to the [[Columbia Records|Columbia/CBS]] record company. A third single, "Sandie's Gone (Part 1)" / "Sandie's Gone (Part 2)", was released on the band's new label in April 1970, and a number of sessions and concerts were also recorded for the BBC during this period. The band released its first album ''[[Skid (album)|Skid]]'', in October 1970. A second LP, ''[[34 Hours]]'' β so called because it took them a mere 34 hours to record it β was released in early 1971, preceded by the single "Night Of The Warm Witch" / "Mr. De-Luxe". Skid Row performed on the legendary German TV music show ''Beat Club'' on 18 March 1971. There were short tours of Europe (October 1970, with [[Canned Heat]]) and of the USA (October/November 1970 and August and October 1971).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.garymoorefc.com/en/tourdates_1971|title=Skid Row tour dates, 1971|website=Garymoorefc.com}}</ref> A widely bootlegged show billed as "The Whiskey, Los Angeles, August 5, 1970", and featuring [[John Bonham]] as a guest, is more likely from August 1971.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://the-discographer.dk/gary-moore-bible.pdf|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110830181807/http://the-discographer.dk/gary-moore-bible.pdf|url-status=dead|title=''The Gary Moore Bible''|archivedate=30 August 2011}}</ref> A third album was recorded in the Autumn of 1971 but Moore left the band in December 1971 just before another planned US tour. He was temporarily replaced by [[Eric Bell]] (from Thin Lizzy) for some live appearances before [[Paul Chapman (musician)|Paul Chapman]] became the band's full-time guitarist. Moore later played with Thin Lizzy, replacing Eric Bell. Chapman overdubbed Moore's guitar tracks on the unreleased album but neither version was made public for almost twenty years. As the band faltered, Chapman left in July 1972 (later joining [[UFO (band)|UFO]]). Shiels then teamed with drummer [[John Wilson (drummer)|John Wilson]] (ex-[[Them (band)|Them]], [[Taste (Irish band)|Taste]] and [[Stud (band)|Stud]]) and future [[Sparks (band)|Sparks]] guitarist Adrian Fisher to form a band named simply 'Brush'.
