OT - Which of these bands have I NOT seen live?

[mistaram]

in that case you should have mozied along to Kirk Hallam on saturday, my enterprising friend and former co-promoter Shane put on a drive-in open air gig featuring vintage R&B band The Revolutionaires, absolute banging success by all accounts with social distancing observed throughout - there was even a dancefloor where live-together couples did their jiving thing - all Council approved apparently, and there are more gigs planned while the weather holds

Andy nobody in Kirk Hallam obeys any laws never mind social distancing . I go fishing there every Thursday at Sowerbrook Lake and I swear police sirens are non stop

We all have our individual likes and dislikes, and some names were placed in my list to elicit adverse comment 😊. But your two guesses were wrong, sadly

I actually think Phil Collins as a drummer was top notch, especially in Brand X and the Eric Clapton four piece from the mid 80's, but he sold his soul for pop pap

OK, new twist on theme. Which two of these embarrassingly bad acts have I actually bought a ticket for and seen:

Tears for Fears
The Cheeky Girls
Earth Wind & Fire
Donna Summer
Mud
Vanilla Ice
Vanilla
Vanilla Fudge
Sweet Sensation
The Rubettes
The Bay City Rollers
Jedward
The Police
Michael Jackson
Gloria Estafan
Westlife
Gloria Jones
Peter Andre
The Tams
One Direction
Showaddywaddy
Black Lace
Justin Beiber
Phil Collins

The Police...embarrassing! Wash your mouth out.
Phil Collins? I know what you mean but I can’t help really liking some of it.
Interestingly saw the original Genesis drummer - Chris Stewart of ‘Driving Over Lemons’ fame - on TV recently. A humble, semi self sufficient man he seemed truly contented. A very favourable comparison to the mega wealthy but not very well or happy Mr. Collins.

The rest? Yes truly embarrassing...especially from our era...Showaddywaddy and Mud, but...because of your vintage, I’m still going to go...Showaddywaddy (maybe a student Christmas bash along the lines of me having the misfortune to see Shakin’ Stevens) and Mud.

If it was a ticket for ABBA, then glandular fever would have been a relief, and you'd be too young for glandular fever when cream were still touring?

I saw Abba at Newcastle City Hall in 77 or 78, the year escapes me, but my GF wanted to go, actually it was a very slick performance, but the tickets were £35 each, (when average prices were £5) so obvs which market they were aiming at!

I saw Cream at their 2005 reunion gig at the Royal Albert Hall, never caught them in their heyday, but the gig was very good.

One of those guesses is correct, but at a student rag week bash!

Thankfully no

I think you should change your sobriquet to ‘Dancing Queen’!

Shouldn’t you say which one? Anyway...whichever one was right and The Tams ‘cos I’ve never heard of them.
