Yes indeed, and beyond, once they got to grips with their direction they certainly made a name for themselves. Too many Shrapnel named bands followed, but for me these boys were superb. | |

First gig ever on 19:42 - Oct 15 with 1728 views | Groo | Not going to count my mum taking me with her to a Tom Jones concert in Cardiff when I was about 10. The first concert I went to was Medicine Head at the Top Rank in 1973. The same year I went to a Status Quo concert at Top Rank. Edit, I did add ELP then realised it was '74 and at Empire Pool, Wembley [Post edited 15 Oct 2020 19:45]
