Queen at knebworth ! Genesis wembley , The Boss wembley and Bob Weir at the Robin

Saw Queen ( I think ) just before they released Sheer Heart Attack.
They were boss, but I have to admit, I never thought they'd go on to be so huge.

Saw Queen @Live Aid.


Never really 'got' them before then.

Mercury was the ultimate showman. Could own an audience like nobody else.

Oh, saw Dylan in Blackpool last year.
Went to it against my better instincts, because I've been to some bloody awful Dylan gigs over the last 15 years or so, but he really turned up there, big style.

The James gang = introduced Joe Walsh - a great underrated Guitarist wasted joining the Eagles!

I hurt myself today

Awesome version by Johnny. Miles better than the original! Mr. Cash was a true Legend. I guess I'm just not quite "old" enough for this thread. I do think Janis Joplin is blinkin' amazing though! Wish I'd been around a little earlier. T-Rex are a personal favourite too.

Errr,err ... Ever something ?

I was there too Tommye - amazing day!



ps - to those that have never seen this - this is how to "own" an audience. Epic!

Saw Dylan at Summer Pops many years ago.

Was completely in awe of him, had one of his good nights that night.

This is what I mean...... I never really liked Johnny Cash, until right at the end when he released 'Hurt'.....then I understood......


I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Such a powerful song............

careful though mate,
that's actually a cover of nine inch nails, quite close to being one of them modern ones that you didn't want in here

'73 I think mate, tbf, I was only 12 or 13 and still at school.
My folks thought I was round at a mates for the night

The absolute worst for iffy gigs has to be Van Morrison. Proper diva/grumpy irish barstud. The amount of times he's either stropped off stage, or been too pissed to even bother getting on stage, are legendary.

Balls! Your only as young as you feel old , or something like that.

paul simon was good, he's gone pretty much "world music" now like but he still plays a lot of the classics
