Nostalgia time - Pop festivals, Rock bands, Gigs I have seen

Rolling Stones, Ike and Tina Turner, Small Faces, Billy Fury, Joe Brown, Mike Sarne, Baron Knights, The Who, Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix, Georgie Fame, in the 60s. The Drifters in the 70s.
Take That with Robbie Williams, Elton John and Rod Stewart in the noughties. The Four Tops, The Temptations and Tevares a couple of years ago.
Not much in between!

My claim to fame is attending the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 when I was 17!
Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Doors, Emerson, Lake and Palmer; 10 Years After, Richie Havens... in recent years I have seen Faithless (trance dance band) in Manchester with my son and daughter, twice.

Oh yes The Dubliners. We saw them in Dublin and here in Birmingham. Marvellous.

Beatles (close up) in a TV studio for 'Around the Beatles' in 1964
Pink Floyd at Imperial College in 1968
The Dubliners at The Royal Festival Hall in 1969
Tina Turner on stage in the 1980s
Fairport Convention on stage in the 1990s and later
None of them were big events, I don't like large crowds!

Dolly - seen her twice, one in Cardiff and once in Manchester. She's my fave. Also been to Glastonbury and Knebworth back in the day and seen loads of different bands there.

Queen, The Doors, The Tubes, Texas, Tubeway Army, Eurythmics (twice), AC/DC, Download festival (twice) the newer IOW festivals (twice) Rolling Stones (twice), Freddie Mercury Tribute, Netaid, Muse (France).

The best that I have been to were the Foo Fighters at Wembley and (shockingly) Billy Ocean at Newcastle Town Hall.

Too many to list! It's what we did back in the '60s and we always go to see people we like now if we can afford it. Some were -
Beatles 5 times - I also played truant for one *Grannybags"
Rolling Stones twice
Kinks twice
Tom Jones
The Animals
Lots of 60s acts, Cilla, Gerry and The Pacemakers, Gene Pitney.
Later on with my husband
Elton John
Tony Bennett
Rod Stewart
Michael Buble

Status Quo at Wembley
Eric Clapton in Hyde Park
Paul Simon in Sicily

Free Pink Floyd concert in Hyde Park - that doesn't happen any more!

Stones three times.

Kinks and Who more times than I should (involved playing truant from school!)

The Nice. Salford University, late 60’s .Keith Emerson was wonderful on the keyboard. He was later in Emerson, Lake and Palmer. It was so loud my ears rang for an hour afterwards.

My first ever concert was with my school friend D (70 yesterday). We saw The Small Faces at Newcastle City Hall. Probably ‘64/5. Also on stage were Martha and the Vandellas - she had a big ladder in one of her stockings. Funny how one remembers such things?
