True but i only realised this 30 years later when I caught the video of the gig on YouTube. It WAS my first gig and didn't think it could get any better.
Good shout on Sad Cafe. Onlyy really known around Manchester at that time (Black Rose /Fanx Ta-ra era). RIP PY |  | | |

Screaming Warthog at the Alfred Hall (this was the nickname of a church hall in Newbold) about 1970. The band covered Zappa numbers and the like. Amazing guitarist only 15 but was an apprentice butcher and chopped some of his fingers off. And that was the end of the band.
Or you can have Johnny Winter at the Free Trade Hall |  |

Status Quo at Live Aid At Wembley.
They were first on stage and sent a few shivers down my spine.
Fantastic day and very worthwhile.

Limp bizkit at the MEN around 12 years ago. Everytime a drum was hit, a firework went off. Good times.
My last visit to the MEN was to see Kiss a few years back. Equally as good/cheesy | |

Just found this, the blurb underneath video says they met in '77 and the song hit the charts in '79 so I reckon it was probably '78 when I saw them so later than I thought.
Great festivals they were. Any idea when they stopped? | |
