Donnyboy Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 A bit tenuous but I work bedside 2 fellas ( a bit older than me) who are proud to be on the Quo live at the Glasgow Apollo album from 1976 - they got badges and everything!

dmccombe7 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) I think Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous. Sure some of that was recorded at Glasgow Apollo. Also sure some of Rush Live album was recorded at Glasgow Apollo altho can't remember which one 1st or 2nd would need to double check that. If they were then i was there. Was also at The Wall by Pink Floyd in Earls Court first time around. That might be on a live album or VID in those days.

Grassie Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I think was released as a CD as well, I'm in the audience. 😊 A fantastic venue was Ryde Theatre, long since closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb band, but a shame they parted ways with Damian. I prefer his voice to Glynn's. One of my other google results was the real name of Mr.C from The Shamen. Not so superb Known your namesake and Karl for years (decades, actually!). Superb band. Actually Mac was my favourite of all their vocalists and it’s so sad that he’ll never be back with the band. I’m glad they got Glynn back when Damien left again, his voice is so different to Damian’s but I think it has a great rock feel to it!

davepb24 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 The only one I'm sure about is the bits of Fields Of The Nephilim's "Earth Inferno" from Wolverhampton (some more of that gig ended up on b-sides as well).. was at the NEC for Quo the day before/after the Prime Charles gig lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 One of my claims to fame... I and two friends appeared in a crowd shot during the Nelson Mandela concert at Wembley. Friends saw us, and journeyed to Wembley in an attempt to get in without tickets or success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) I'd forgotten I was also at the Deep Purple gig that eventually became 'Come Hell or High Water'. It became notorious, mainly down to Blackmore's p-ss poor professionalism on the night. Edited August 18, 2018 by KevB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorR Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Remembered another one courtesy of my lovely wife, who gave me this for my birthday. We both went together (and got soaked). It was an amazing concert experience, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkgod Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 James Taylor Quartet, Whole lotta live 1998 Manchester Academy, i was made up when they released the cd seen them about 10 times, this was for me about that time the best line up, tho snowboy was not on percussion, but great gig great vibe and the place was just sparkin.

Dad3353 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I think there's a film of the Stones' Hyde Park concert, '69, in which case I can say 'I was there', with friends. Highlight was King Crimson, and we left after a few minutes of the Stones, whilst 'Sympathy' was pumping away interminably. All those dead butterflies, too; a bit of a flop, really. A few others, such as The Doors/Jefferson Airplane at the Roundhouse, but there's precious little footage of any of that (everyone was maybe too busy enjoying it all to film it ..?). A triple bill at the Hammersmith Odeon was recorded, I think, with Billy Cobham, Shakti and Weather Report. I've the recordings, but don't know if it was officially released or not. High-flying stuff, though; fond memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a live album from those gigs..I Think it's called - Is There Anyone Out There, I've got it somewhere...... I was also at Knwbworth for Zeppelin, one of about 250,000 people that can be seen in various bits of video released over the years.... 1979/80 a great 12 months for memorable gigs for me.
