This was the first ever Rock Concert at Wembley, August 1972, and the first time I saw Chuck Berry live. Bloody fantastic all day concert

Those appearing included. Chuck Berry
Little Richard
Jerry Lee Lewis
Bill Haley & The Comets
Bo Diddley
Emile Ford & The Checkmates
Billy Fury
Marty Wilde
Joe Brown
Heinz with Wilko Johnson
Screaming Lord Sutch
Roy wood with Wizzard. (debut gig )
Linda Gail Lewis
The Houseshakers
Gary Glitter. He got booed off and pelted with cans of beer. Pre plastic cup days.
Plus others
The Platters, The Drifters, & The Coasters were due to appear but work permits were delayed.
The film is mainly the latter part of the show and Chuck Berry closed the show but kept on playing and they had to keep
asking him to finish playing. I got high on the spliffs being smoked around me.Iv'e seen Chuck Berry live several times since,
but the best was in the USA, accompanied by the late, great Johnnie Johnson. Pure talent.

I'd rather attend an Abba concert (in truth, I'd rather clean the bathroom).
Guess we're all so different.
Watched Bowie's "farewell" concert at Hammersmith Odeon (spectacular)
Michael Jackson (Wembley) - so so - nothing special.
Wings at Hammersmith Odeon - best gig I have ever been to. Everybody up and dancing and singing. Pure class and showmanship.
Each to their own, eh?

I like both choices and why not? Kevin's are earlier than yours Stuart but all are good IMHO.
I think you cannot compare Jerry Lee Lewis with Michael Jackson, different music altogether, but still quality from both of them.
