This might be Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Parts 1 and 2", which spent most of the summer of 1972 in the top 10 of the UK singles chart. It might be the Brinsley Schwarz song "Rock and Roll Woman", from their Brinsley Schwarz album, released April 1970. Apparently, the song was not a regular part of Rusty's set, as Allan Mayes's notes for this gig read "Entire repertoire + Rock and Roll."
