    Stevie Nicks...White Winged Dove Tour 12&13 December 1981 at The Beverley Hills Fox Wilshire Theatre.
    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!

    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.

    An ex-Lanndord and employer of mine Brian (old hippie and now deceased RIP) was the Ent Sec at a Uni in Wales and booked Pink Floyd in 1966.

    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.
