MikeO Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) Had this thread before so I'll be lazy and quote myself... Too many to remember over thirty odd years starting with.. Dr Feelgood and Slade in the mid seventies ..some of the highlights.. Eric Clapton Muddy Waters Elton John Black Sabbath Neil Young Peter Frampton Thin Lizzy Paul McCartney Billy Bragg Chris Rea John Martyn Queen Mike Oldfield and Live Aid in 1985 ...plus a smaller band a week for years..eg..Camel, Caravan, Man, Renaissance, FBI, Rainbow, Iron Maiden and Saxon (when they were small), Duster Bennett, Dean Friedman, The Enid, Curved Air, Wishbone Ash, Colloseum II, Greenslade, The Troggs, Back Street Crawler, Bad Company, Mott the Hoople and on and on ad infinitum . Oh, and Reading festival in the seventies...from Sham 69 to Spirit, Patti Smith...minds gone blank..but Reading was like that in the seventies...oh yeah..Aerosmith.

Pat Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Yeh the best ones usaually cant remember. It may seem odd to the younger peeps the amount we did as younger folk. But we had no MTv,ipods, mp3's Video hits n whatever. The live scene was it & only it. Would love to have seen Rainbow in that era mike. My 1 regret in life is never seeing Bon Scott live.

MikeO Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) Rainbow at Hammersmith Odeon Pat, supported for that gig only by a Guildford band called House..a couple of who were mates of mine...really memorable day...until it went out of focus ! And can't believe I forgot AC/DC, Guildford Civic Hall, late seventies. Edited December 5, 2006 by mikeo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough last week I was at the electrical store (Laines of Cheddar) that shopped the twit when they were doing some work on his computer and found...well, you know what they found. It's a Tescos Extra now, though Laines still runs from a building round the back. If it hadn't been a Sunday I'd have gone in and shaken someones hand!

Pat Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Almost slipped me mind...LOL...I saw The Steve Miller band, some some time ago & it was well, Steve Miller, Cool, mellow yet rocky in its own chilled out way....The Audience responded with much the same atm0shphere & Damned Great it was 2. A real pleasant vibe. However, their was this 1 whacker right up the front who had obviously slipped the wrong drug fo the wrong occasion & was just giving it the full intense Phsycodelic washing machine like thrashing & bashin, rock out wild thing perfomance of his own. This Tripper went OFF like a rocket for a full cple hrs in this most mellow & ambient mood of places & besides the Biker I once watched Vomit in his own meal, then continue eating as if nothing happend is right up there with the best things ive ever seen in public.

Mac Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 From my many years in Germany, he made a personal appearance in Munster at an open air shindig in the park. Did three of his 2,000,000 no 1's he has had over there. He was awful, but the reason I mention it was because the Hermans were going nuts for him and it has stuck in my mind like a bad car crash.
