Wouldn't bore me Big'un, some great stuff there. I too saw Lizzy a few times and I have Phil's belt from a City Hall gig, you wouldn't believe how tiny Phil's waist was.
PS for CA, Lizzy were even better live :-)

Elvis Presley in 1976 was the most disappointing but we all knew by then he was a spent force. Having said that his stage presence and the occasional moments when he really let rip were spell binding.

The Eagles were fantastic - especially the first time when Frey was still alive.

One of the most enjoyable - Johnny Mathis. What a performer!

The Police were very, very good. Polished but a lot of feeling. Andy Summers is a brilliant guitarist.

Sting and Paul Simon together at The Colosseum in LA didn’t work for me.

I could put another list longer than the one above. Live music is always great even if the band etc do not do it like it is recorded.

Indeed. I doubt that Keef has played the opening riff to Honky Tonk Women exactly the same for almost 60 years but it seems to go down well.

You obviously never heard me and 3 friends do our *** Pistols set at Mexborough Grammar School

I used to be in a band called 999mb

Just couldn’t get any gigs.

I’ll leave that one with you.

I'm not an expert on this topic but I was impressed with The Faces at Kennington Oval in 1971. Tim Hardin was much better live in my opinion. I saw Hot Chocolate at Lancaster University expecting nothing much but they were a revelation.

CAM, you’re right. The majority of replies have missed my O/P completely. Never mind, it’s great to see though how we’ve all seen different artists/bands and how music choice varies through us all. Thanks everyone for replying.
