WorksopRam Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Edgar Broughton Band - Kings Hall Derby about 1974, not keen on the band but it was my first live concert and I loved the vibe. Deep Purple - Coventry Theatre 1975, brill. Pink Floyd - Knebworth 1975, out to lunch. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Birmingham Odeon '76 ish, brill, Led Zeppelin Knebworth '78/79 can't remember was still out to lunch. Paul McCartney - Wembley 1991 excellent. Paul McCartney - O2 2010 Still got it the old buggar. I was there at the O2 for Paul McCartney 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/Holly-fest-menu.70.html I know I missed Tony Joe White as they said he wasn't coming. I went to bed after more than an hour of drum solo by Ginger Baker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 What an experience Brummie! Everyone goes on about those bands, but to have been their and actually experience it first-hand, is an actual achievment in my eyes. It was Duracell!, but remember, we had no Youtube and Intermet. The atmosphere and experience of those concerts was unique but now there is the chance to hear and see what all the fuss was about and to pick and choose the best music form all eras and it's free! It's difficult to say whether seeing the Rams win Div one was better, it was certainly memorable as was seeing the sunderland team of Leeds beaters bring the cup to Sunderland whilst on a course up that way. Most live events seem to be on too big, and too expensive, a scale for my liking nowadays. but enjoy being young.... I sure did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 excuse me..it was just 'The Dreamers'.. Wrong, when I saw them it wes definitely Freddie Garrity because I spoke to him before he went into the venue, during the performance and afterwards. He has since passed away so you've missed your chance! My wife and I also saw ans spoke to Gerry Marsden with his Pacemakers at the Talk of the Town in Derby and again around here.

Ramshankered Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I saw Explosions in the Sky last year too - in Camden? Was really good. Yup that's the one! I have mixed feelings about some of their studio work but they were excellent live. I also forgot to add - Cast - 2012 Broken Social Scene - 2011 Super Furry Animals - 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derbydan Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Red hot chilli peppers at pride park was good. The jubilee concert was probably the best I've been to though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
