First band seen live

[Andrew H]

For me the Eagles who were supporting the Beach Boys at Wembley early 70's

[Lotty]

So, interestingly, who was the LAST musician you saw live?(should this be a new thread?)

[Highlander]

[desmartinson]

Is that the Bay city rollers John.

Must have been 1963 and I was playing drums with a local band at a church hall in Scarborough. The drummer in one of the other bands didn't turn up so they asked me to stand in. The band was called the Mandrakes and the singer was a guy called Alan Palmer. Later changed his name to Robert and went on to greater things. For a while he was also our milkman before becoming a reporter on the local rag.

Robbie Williams, Milton Keynes Bowl, getting out of jail would've been easier!

Through a friend in the hospitality business we got free VIP tickets for ZZ Top at MK Bowl - we even parked next to their helicopter! I've been to the Bowl quite a few times and never saw anything as disappointing as ZZ Top (who I didn't like much anyway).

I think the capacity of the Bowl is around 50,000 - and I would estimate that 15 to 20,000 turned and left after the final support act finished, Sir Bryan of Adams.
