The only real disappointment was going to France especially to see Captain Beefheart and the Rolling Stones circa 1972 only to have the gig rained off, BEYOND the 11th hour! My consolation? Seeing and hearing Jimi Hendrix shortly before he died. And David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars.

After 1973? Things were much better and no ghastly Glam Rock to soil the memory bank.

We're getting some clues on this thread about Kempo's real age though - about 66 years old, which is in agreement with previous estimates (if he actually exists, of course). Should be old enough to know better.

'73

Made in Japan first Album I bought (still got it + most of the others)
Also year I "discovered" Floyd, Sabbath, Zepplin, Genesis, Yes etc

Best era for music (of that ilk) IMO

[QUOfTE=Zilzal;38880588]Milla, are you sure you don't mean that you were semi conscious?

Yes theres definately something mental going on..its the guitar..it changes you..ask geetarman, he knows..if you dont want to be ruled for the rest of your life, just dont pick one up..

Anyone remember the girl that danced near naked as part of the Hawkwind act. Was her name Sylvia or Stacy.

Stacia I think, very large jugs. When I saw them they had this weird light show and it made me feel quite ill.
