Queen at Glasgow Apollo December 1979. Been to see loads of bands since, but nothing has come near this.

Ian I agree with you about Michael McDonald, we saw him on he Liverpool Philharmonic Hall and he was wonderful. Have tickets to see Paul Carrack there in Feb 2012 (ex Ace, Squeeze, Mike & the Mechanics) to name just a few. This will be our third time to see Paul.

Been on the point of booking Paul Carrack at least twice in the past - you have just convinced me to do it

Best live gig ever, David Bowie at Glastonbury,s 25th anniversary
Best live bands this year were Lamb and the Alabama Three.
Saw the Darkness a few weeks ago, a great arena band.

Ian
I saw the big O in 1965,I don't think he toured the UK many times,and your image of him is unspoilt

Another one just remembered - Gene Pitney, around the same time

Regards to yourself and Gill

Ian, go and see Paul. you will not be disappointed, in fact here is a sample of what to expect

Don't you think he looks like Baz in a hat? I also want one of those tap box things that guy plays in the video

Rimms - superb - he must be related to Baz - older brother???

Interesting Fact: I heard Gerry Marsden sing this song (Don't let the sun catch you Crying) and he told the audience that he wrote it when he was very young.

He had just been "dumped" by the girl of his dreams and cried all night. He then decided to write a song in the early hours of the morning and then went round to his girlfriends and sung it to her - she changed her mind and is still his wife.

As much as he is a "joker" the man has real talent

Best solos at same venue, Ray Charles & Bobby Darin
