What a great thread.
In one way sad really coz it makes me realise how fecking old I am.
I was a 17 year old in 1973 but what a great time to see what became rock legends.
I have just realised I could write a book on all the bands I saw around that time.
Every week I was down the Dome ----the smell of dope wafted up to the BEST seats
Lynyrd Skynyrd before and after the plane crash was a highlight---as was Wishbone Ash

I did have to conveniently forget my gran taking me to The Dome some years earlier to see The Spinners. (No not the Detroit Ones)
We had this conversation at work some years ago and a middle aged Jamaican woman in our office said: 'Oh it was, oh I can't remember, what was his name now?.... Oh yes, Otis.' It turned out she was at the 1967 Stax UK Tour. Otis Redding.... with Sam and Dave.... and Eddie Floyd, and Arthur Conley and Booker T and the bloody MGs. I told her she had won and went off to cry.

How soon is now?
The Stones in about 76 or 77 at Knebworth supported by Lynrd Skynrd, I was very young(4 or 5). My old man got busted for smoking weed, and instead of actually arresting him the police just emptied his home grown grass tin. And then our car broke down on the way home and my mum had to leave her gold earrings with the garage until we sent the money for then repairs.
Its amazing what sticks with you from a young age

Ted Nugent, I really can't remember if it was in Aachen or Cologne, we lived in Holland at the time near to the German border. Adam and the Antz or Saxon was my first in the UK, in Brighton, 1979ish.
