Hard for some of you to believe this I guess and me too in some ways but the(now hard to come by) video is one of my prized possesions...what a band(all top drawer session musicians), what a performance and what a night....the fans went balistic!
JOKE !!
Gigs I wished I'd been to:
Queen at Hammersmith Odeon 1975 & Knebworth 1986 (last ever gig)
Led Zep at Knebworth 1979
Motorhead at Hammersmith 1981
Iron Maiden - Beast Over Hammersmith 1982
Iron Maiden - Long Beach Arena 1984
Judas Priest - Dallas 1987
AC/DC - Donington 1991
Welcome M.
Still on that Heavy Metal kick I see : - )
Nowt wrong with a bit of HM!
Not a gig - but I'd had loved to have been at Battersea Power Station when the PIg broke loose.
was at the Motorhead at Hammersmith in 81 ; couldn't hear for several days after !!
LOL you would have fitting in well.
Think it all kicked off in the crowd when one of the support bands was on. Hawkwind maybe???? Can't have been Kiki Dee who came on with a Cardboard cut out of Elton John
Then there was lots of "sit down" and can/bottle throwing when Queen were on.
was in Hereford watching the addicks win 2-0
They started with the psychedelic stuff and were booed as you would expect at that time out in the sticks. So they stopped and did a set of rock and roll covers and did it really well. Crowd loved it. Wish I had seen it and wish I had the tape.
Fad Gadget supporting Siouxsie and the Banshees at Royal Albert Hall
