47 yrs ago first proper gig, Slade, Hammersmith Odeon, School trip!! Bus load of 15-16 yr olds, one teacher and his girlfriend.
Seats being ripped up and thrown about, probably thinking his career in teaching wouldn’t last very long.

My first ever music concert - Bath festival June 1970 Johnny Winter headlining with Juicy Lucy support.
51 years ago and I still listen to his music - best white man to play the black man's blues ever.

Next one was Mott the Hoople, August 1971 at Hereford Football ground.
Like you say where have the years gone?

Impressed John!! I've been a MTH fan since my older sister got me into them. Saw them 3 times Home, Alex Harvey (billed as the Sensational Alex Hardy Band on the ticket and I got to meet Ian Overend and Mick) and then Queen. Then was at the first re union gig at the Hammy Odeon and then the second re union at Newcastle City Hall - Happy days!! Got Who Do You Love on 7" still

Have you seen Ian Hunter recently? He just gets better and better - how long can he go on!!!

Juicy Lucy, Vertigo Records, the black and white spiral inlay...

I nicked "Who do you love" ( ashamedly) from Bernard Dean Records in Scarborough. Then some theivin` pillock relieved me of it at a school disco along with Atomic Rooster and Grand Funk Railroad singles :lol: Why i took a GFR ep to a school disco is beyond me :lol:

This track was my intro to Blues. Sat on the bed mesmerized by 45rpm on a shitty typewriter case style record player.

I`m so glad the time has gone by!

The naked "fruit" Lady was Zelda Plum a burlesque dancer and was on the album cover too - still got it from 1969 and still play it now and again.
Some extremely famous musicians in Juicy Lucy in the mid 70's - Mick Taylor (ex Stones) and Andy Summers (before Police)
Also some of the original line up went onto better things - Nazareth, Whitesnake, Blodwyn Pig among others.

Great times (rose tinted glasses) and great music which has lasted me a lifetime.

They played Edinburgh back in 69 or 70. My friend was at uni there and sent me a ticket. On the day, I looked at the weather and couldn’t be arsed driving there from Dundee (a mammoth 60 miles in a clapped out MG Magnette). Apparently, the place was mobbed apart from one empty seat. And Led Zeppelin we’re, of course, brilliant. :oops:
