I really didn't appreciate how good they were first time round. Probably too young. I thought they were ok but wasn't in to them. Now, I look back and think they stand out as a top quality super group as people like to call them. Would have loved to see them live.

I'd really be impressed if you'd been to see Joe Bonamassa

Now you are talking quality. Can't compare to that.

Superb band, managed as a 15yr old to get into the changing rooms at Leeds uni to meet them, got Scott Gorhams (sp) chewing gum, still got it in my old scrap album alongside Zac Cleminsons (remember him?) plectrum and a rose from Joan Jetts stage outfit. I was hardcore in those days.



Thanks for separating this topic from the original poptart.

I go to gigs with my daughters every now and then, mainly the Cribs, I've been called all sorts for knocking off a thirty year old woman at my age, never put them right.

Not much booked so far. Angelic upstarts in April, Long division (got ticket but can't go) Uk Subs in October and Butlins alternative festival also in October.

I saw Philip Lynott's Grand Slam at Nostell, of all places and saw the late great Gary Moore quite a few times

No problem. The Hull board used to have topics like this in the mid season break. You'd find some kindred spirits on there.

What was the first band you saw live and when was it?

Mine. The sensational Alex Harvey band, Leeds uni, '73/74 ish.

Alex Harvey, another great performer!

A proper show man.

If you could travel back in time to see a band or solo for that matter who isn't around any more who would you pick?



I think I'd certainly want to see Elvis 68 comeback concert but band wise I think I'd like to go back to see the Who in their prime.

Obviously the Beatles are big but not with all the screaming girls. I reckon the Eagles were pretty special in the 70s.

More modern times I'd have liked to have seen the Jam live and I nearly went to see Queen in the 80s but my friends all fell out with each other so we called it off. Big mistake.
