Not the best, but a couple of shots of Rick and Rhino sporting ponytails on-stage during the German leg of the Rock 'til You Drop tour. Possibly Berlin, Neue Welt, April 3rd 1992.

What an unusual hair style for Rick!
p.s. Wasn't there a group called The Ponytails?

Fast forward to the late 80s… would’ve been perfect as a heads down ‘Piledriver’ album release.🤢

What was all that about i wonder? Wasn't Francis starting his rapid hair-loss around this time? A piss-take or solidarity with him... probably both!

Francis was starting to lose his hair as far back as 1972. You can see it at the Marquee gig. Was already thinning. He done ridiculously well to hold onto it until 1984. I should know. I started balding at 18. 17 years later, still clinging on for dear life  |

The ponytails soon came down. I think it was for a laugh, with pictorial press only being allowed in for the first three numbers before being booted - which was a fucking stupid rule introduction, but bands need to be caught at their 'best'

Didn't Rhino have his hair in a ponytail a few other times during that long hair period or is that the only time? First time seeing Rick with a ponytail though

He always knew he was going to lose his hair. Part of the family tradition I think. There was that picture mocked up by one of the music papers, before the 60s was out IIRR. I haven't seen it for ages.
