Hendrix was at the IoW Festival in 1970 .... a few weeks before he died.

Pity you missed the 1969 event. Line up was much better IMHO.

The Cramps, Hammersmith Palais, two nights in June 1985 - I sat A levels the morning after each. Didn't get very good grades...

King Kurt at Reading University in 1987.

The Meteors at the Croydon Underground 1986.

Alien Sex Fiend at the Cartoon in Croydon, 1988.

Great memories...

They will obviously be fully-rounded, productive members of society then.

And not axe-wielding maniacs like some, err...I have said too much.

Gordon Giltrap. Remember him? No? Why should you? Had a brief flirtation with the charts many years ago. Saw him at a very small venue here. Just him and some acoustic guitars and about 200 people.

An intimate, jaw dropping display of superb musicianship.  cloud9:

As do I but I cannot recall any songs by him  rubschin:

From his website:

Quote
Gordon's music continues to evade categorisation, influenced as it is by the rock guitar of Hank Marvin and Pete Townshend, the folk guitar of Bert Jansch and John Renbourn, and the classical guitar of Julian Bream and John Williams.

Excellent influences though.

Hazel O'Connor - 8th day. What a belting record. Whatever happened to her I wonder.

There is a track (if you can find it it) Called 'Whole lotta love on the run' in which some bugger has combined Led Zeppelins 'Whole lotta love' with Pink Floyds 'on the run' from Dark side of the Moon into one track.

On the face of it it sounds like an audio car crash, but it actually works very well.

Would be great to see/hear it live.  rubschin:

If you forced me at gunpoint to name my favourite record it would be '('Don't fear) the reaper' by the Blue Oyster Cult. From the the album 'Agents of Fortune'

This also includes 'Tattoo vampire' and 'ETI'

Wall to wall guitars.

Fantastic.  cloud9:

I also recommend' Cultosarus Ereuctus' by the same band.

"Don't fear the reaper" would definitely feature in my top ten and I'm pretty sure that it'll be played today now that you've reminded me. A pub/club in Southampton do lots of live music, I found out one week after the event that Blue Oyster Cult played there in June this year. I would have gone just to hear that track alone. The track also feaures at the start of the film "The Stand" (Stephen King) and whenever I hear it I associate it with the rook/crow sat on the fence post at the start of the film
