Rockin all over the world.

And on July 20th 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the Moon

The young, not then mrs redshank and myself saw that on a television I purchased for 3/6d from job lots in Waltham stow.With a few valve changes the picture was about 4" high but visible.The two of us in my small bedsit in Elsham Road Leytonstone on that historic occasion.Quite remarkable. 

I used the word "gig" as I recall that's how Francis Rossi referred to concerts.

Yes that word was used originally by traveling bands of Jewish musicians who found paid work hard to come by in the late 19th century and early 20th century. When then did get lucky it was noted down in their performance calender as ''God is good'' or God is great'' thus later shortened to GIG !

Saw Jethro Tull in 1974.I was one of the youngest there(16)
Everywhere were blokes with beards and ladies with long dresses and sandles.
Following year saw Black sabbath.
That volume wouldn't be allowed now!

I remember that American band lol, they were awful, Jason and the Discples of Soul, if I recall correctly the front man had a pink mohican lol, wasn't Gary Glitter one of the support acts too? I know Nazereth were on the bill.

I don't really go to concerts any more tbh, I've seen a few bands, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Queen, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Gun and loads of others I've probably forgotten about, used to go to the Royal Standard at Blackhorse Road and The Green Gate (Oscars) at Newbury Park now of course a Macdonalds, saw some great acts, The Phil Hillborne Band at the Standard, saw Suzi Quatro at the Standard too, Brothers Grimm at Oscars and another decent band called Raiders of the lost Fart, I remember Oscars was Heavy Metal disco Friday nights and live music Saturday nights, The Standard of course live music practicality 7 nights a week, I used to get down the Ruskin Arms now and again and the Burnell Arms occasionally.

Good times, proper times, less technology than we have now, of course we're living in a modern age, I was born in 1965 so the 80's was my for want of a better word my growing up era and I miss it sometimes, call me old fashioned but I cant get into this new modern music, the 60's 70's and 80's music imo is so much better

I was at that one too, was that when you had to queue twice for beer? once to by the vouchers and then once you had your vouchers you had to queue again to get served the beer, of course everyone was buying enough vouchers for 3 or 4 or 5 pints, at least me and my mate did lol, and the pints were placed on a cardboard tray? Then of course inbetween acts the cardboard trays became frisbies, looking up there were thousands of these trays flying around lol, I think the guy your talking about got pelted with cardboard trays lol.

Yeah trays flying everywhere.
Everyone ducking down ha
My mate couldnt remember where our car was ffs! So five of us walked about bloody madhouse.
Freddie mercury was a real showman that day.covered every inch of that stage
