Was that with Slovak and Irons? Would have loved to see them around 1989. Mother's Milk is just a lot of fun.
Saw Architects in 2009, as a support band. These boys are headlining metal festivals now, and selling out Cardiff CIA in May. |  | | |

Judas Priest
The church hall that booked them assumed they'd be a gospel type combo … absolutely true.
Me and my mate and a single gitl were the only ones in the audience until three tracks in when we apologised to them and went the local disco. |  |

I was there. There was a tube strike, so had to walk from Wembley to Paddington. Missed the last train of course and had to spend the night on the station. Not the best night i've had | | | |

AC/DC were hardly unknown in 1979. They had already had two top 20 albums in the UK and TOTP appearances and a chart single (Rock and roll damnation) by 1978.
I also seen them in 1979 on one of their four sold out nights at Hammersmith Odeon with Def Leppard as support, who were an unknown band unless you were following the NWOBHM scene and still some months away from releasing their debut album. | | | |

Yes , wearing the clown outfit performing The Show must go On , Moonlighting is still a track that I really enjoy seen him live in Porthcawl a few years ago , he said it was a true story .
Reading up , it seems his prime time Saturday Night show on the BBC had 27 million viewers back then , obviously things have changed since , but tonight whilst channel hopping Guess the Singer , some ridiciolous quiz with unknown celebs on a roundabout , rubbish TV . | | | |

That was very early for Supertramp. I saw them at Swansea University in 1974 in the coffee bar, a venue for largely unknown bands whilst the likes of Shakin’ Stevens was playing the infinitely bigger refectory. | | | |

Were you a Spertramp fan or did you become a fan or neither? Same question to YrAlarch.
Paris double album is excellent. In fact because I heard it before some of the studio recordings and most of the song I much prefer the live versions. | | | |

They were touring the Crime of the Century album which I bought as a direct result of the gig.
Enjoyed their music but they’re not a band that I now return to often. | | | |

Don't seem to get much time to listen to music now, do like to see local bands in Neath, Skewen or Pontardawe on the weekend. | | | |

It’s a small world. Good Habit were the first band I saw live at Bridgend YMCA around 1969 I guess. The second was Man at Crossways Country Club near Bridgend. | | | |
