not me deleting I never delete anything!

Been trying to think who I went to see the Jam with Muffy, think it was my mate and her boyfriend, we would only have been about 19, think that would work out as I think I'm about 6/7 years older than you.

TW Hot Chocolate was with ex and all his family about 15 years ago, yes it was a fantastic atmosphere and all generations loved it!

Will keep thinking about this cos I'm sure I've left out something important!

Wow a shrinking thread!!!! lol

Who's deleting?

Maz, we saw Hot Chocolate in Ipswich...about 1977 I think, they really were fantastic, better than recorded. Everyone was up dancing, clapping, singing, and although it was a small theatre, it was as good an atmosphere as any.

Maz I'd cut off my left arm to see have seen the Jam....my horrible father (only joshing he's a darling) wouldn't allow my older cousins to take me...I was only about 12-13 but I was GUTTED !!!xx

I know you addressed your post to Mildred, but ......

David Bowie tours weren't to be missed.

I was at the Ziggy Stardust concert and again at the Aladin Sane tour. This was my favourite.......... "don't lean on me, man, cos you can't afford the ticket. I'm back in Suffragette City"

So many good memories!

In reverse order of age

The Walker Brothers
Don Partridge - a surprisingly good show
David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust tour, Aladdin Sane tour)
The Stones (ok, not quite, but they played St James Park and I lived around the corner, so may as well have been there - a bloody good night out in the garden was had by all)
The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (rubbish) and supporting act Python Lee Jackson (more Rod later)
The Police
Van Morrison
Leonard Cohen - several times
Jules Holland
Rod Stewart
Paulo Nutini
Stereophonics
Radiohead
The Prodigy
Maximo Park
Neil Young

I'd also love to see Robbie live, and I wish I'd managed to see Frank Sinatra

Off to the IoW festival again this year - and Florence and the Machine are playing. That'll be worth watching.
