Eddie Cochran..

i used to know an old balding teddy boy
who saw his last ever gig..

New York Dolls..

David Johannsen, the bands surviving singer,
is now doing
some excellent old blokes country blues solo CDs..

Pentangle..

at the time they were touring "reflections" & "solomons seal" material..

Michael Chapman..

when Mick Ronson was his backing guitarist
[dunno if they ever gigged,
or just recorded 'fully qualified survivor' together ]..

The Sweet..

I want a time machine now..
so i can travel back
and buy tickets for the xmas 1973 gig
that became one of the finest heavy rock live LPs ever recorded..

Jack the Lad..

saw them on the telly when I was a kid,
but i'd love to have been in the front row
of a hot sweaty gig
to really experience their threateningly entertaining
shovel [& pick axe ???} wielding
belligerent mineworkers clog/morris dance routine..

The Move..

at the Marquee club, of course..

MC5..

the good period between 'back in the usa' & 'high time'lps

Mr Fox..

though i have a vague suspicion they might not
have been very good live..
..but if Carolanne Pegg ever gigged any of her solo
stuff with Albert Lee as band guitarist.
definitely put me down for a ticket on the guest list..

Dexys Midnight Runners..

1982/3 Celtic soul brothers line-up touring "Too-Ry-Ay" Lp


..and i reckon mid 60's earlyish line-up

Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs

would have put on a show worth remembering..

ok.. that'll be more than enough memory straining
to be going on with..
tried not to duplicate any of the big names already mentioned,
most of us might desire to have seen for real..

errrr.. I just wish i could remember some of the great gigs
i have been to..
