bands I saw in the 60's and 70's

Zep, Spooky Tooth,Caravan,Wishbone Ash,Cream,Tyranssaurus Rex,Canned Heat,Yes, Chicken Shack,Family, Stackridge,Jethro Tull just a few I can remember

 

Did you ever see a fairly successful Barnsley band called Travis? (Not the recent porridge munching fourpiece led by Fran Healy)

 

I like this thread

zep, sabbath, rush, UFO, judas priest, motorhead, hawkwind, scorpions, michael schenker band, van halen, saxon, status quo, slade (when they had their heavy metal period)and somewhat curiously tom robinson & squeeze

 

RE: I like this thread

A bit early for me I was late seventies and eighties although the first band I did see was UFO, unfortunately Schenker had just left.

More of a Punk/New Wave theme for me - Stranglers, Damned, SLF, Undertones, Ramones, Heartbreakers, 999, Tom Robinson, Siouxsie & Banshees, Ruts, Police, U2 etc.

 

quite liked UFO

<font face="Times New Roman" size="3">saw one or two punk bands, SLF, eddie &amp; the hot rods, radio stars, but heavy metal was more my thing</font></p>

Hey Tina tyke ..

Do you remember the night we went to see Love Affair in the late 60s ! You drooling over Steve Ellis and me staying at yours ! .I would of course as a true friend not reveal any more on this board .

David Bowie - getting detention for queing all night in Notre Dame school uniform and climbing over the school wall ( god knows how ) to face the A level maths teacher .almost missing my physics A level exam .

I won't mention xxxxxxx Williams et al .

Nazareth at Barnsley Civic ! .

I am in danger of reliving my youth which only ended last week at Charlton .

RE: Hey Tina tyke ..

You looked pretty sober to me and there wasn't many of them in the away end

 

Didn't Hendrix once play at a small club in Ilkley?

and was seen later that night in the queue at Harry Ramsdens.

Saw the Love Affair in Nottingham (they had twin drummers like the Glitter Band). Was also at both those early Nazareth gigs at the Civic. They were originally support band for (I think) Stackridge - who didn't turn up that first night.

Bitter Suite, Ponder's End, Def Leppard, Squealer.............

at the Dale club, and various other WMC's.

 

RE: Hey Tina tyke ..

There had to be some sober fans around so that people didn't think we were a club of drunks
