Wouldn't have missed it for the world, Perry. It was a great gig!
My face ached for two days due to the constant smiling, for three hours plus.
The strangest thing is, that of the 350 people in the audience, I've met more than 30 others, unknown to me at the time, who were there and several of those are now good friends.
 
I wasn't one of them but I was in Hyde park for the free one in the 60's and "the last one ever" (yeah right) at the O2
would go again at a moments notice. Very soon after the )s i got given free tickets (in a private box) for Metallica, never been so bored or deaf in my life.

Best value ticket, ever!
£5 + 50p booking fee, sold by Harvey Goldsmith, in person.
I was offered £1,500 for it, on my way in. Never considered selling it for a nanosecond.
They played for two hours, twenty-five minutes.View attachment 58362

I still have, if my ex hasn't chucked it out a ticket for the Stones at the Hippodrome d'Auteuil in Paris in June or July 1982. Ticket unused.
I was doing my military service in Paris at the time, just a few km away and didn't go. I was suffering from military depression.

One thing that might turn you onto Metallica is to watch (Jazz drummer) "Larnell Lewis Hears Enter Sandman For The First Time".
Someone who has seen Metallica play live several times commented that Larnell plays it better at first attempt than Lars Ulrich has been managing for the last 30 years.....slightly unfair but funny,although I think it`s Larnells second go at it that ends up in the video.
Another thing worth watching is Liberace performing Boogie Woogie (on the keyboards that is),-the way he switches to 16 to the bar at the end is quite amazing.

As a drummer I loved that! I've been going into Youtube and investigating all sorts of drum stuff the last few nights. Some great stuff with Bernard Purdie ... ah, the Purdie Shuffle - I've been playing a feel like that for years and had no idea it wasn't mine! :eek::D
 
Best value for me was when we heard ATV (Mark Perry`s group,he was also responsible for starting Sniffin Glue punk fanzine in London along with Danny Baker as writer) were due to play at the Netham Playing Fields in Bristol.They were touring with new age travellers/electrik gypsies Here and Now.
My mate and I jumped on my CB125J and arrived at Netham to find the place deserted.I then spotted a notice stuck to a lamp post which read "Go to Victoria Park,Bedminster".
We got back on the Honda and arrived at Victoria Park to find Here and Now playing so went into a handy pub for a couple of pints.When we came out ATV were playing to a crowd of about a half a dozen kids and a few puzzled locals.As they were playing in the middle of the park we were able to walk around them to get the full 360 degree view.A couple of policeman turned up about 20 minutes later,decided it wasn`t worth arresting anyone and then left again.
Mark Perry said years later it was one of the best gigs he remembers playing.(It was ok).
If you happen to wonder what it was we went to hear by ATV try : Love lies Limp/How Much Longer/You Bastard

Yeah, the organisation was a bit iffy but the music was good, all four days of it. Stand-outs for me after 50 years were Hendrix, the Doors, Joan Baez, Jethro Tull, Tiny Tim and Leonard Cohen. The rest is just a haze :) :cool:

Talking of Jethro Tull (saw them live twice `70 and `72) if you are a fan then watch on youTube (if you haven`t already) "Classical Flutist Reacts To Jethro Tull" (Heline from Finland)
See looks at Bouree/My God/Thick as a Brick amongst others filmed live at Tampa,Madison and IoW.
She is impressed/suprised ("I can`t do that") not only by his playing but also by his onstage antics,although she reckons he uses a lot of tongue flutter,but not a lot of pinkie......!!!
 
Ran across an ad today, the Stones are playing at the Circuit of the America's down in Austin in a couple of weeks!! Reckon it is the same guys, or maybe clones???? LOL!
