Last years personal higlights were Iggy & The stooges, White Stripes, Wolfmother,Franz F & The Beasts of Bourbon.

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.

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 :D !

 

And can't believe I forgot AC/DC, Guildford Civic Hall, late seventies.

Luckily being a guy I am in no danger of the hand in jeans thing :D Unfortunately, being I dunno 5 ft 8/9 maybe, fat people seem to like standing in front of me at concerts grrrrr! They seem to be everywhere I will watch a support band and think wow I have an OK spot here then just before the main band comes on pow! Like magic they appear.

We all left Glitter of our lists....... ;)

 

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!
