Whose Jean Michel Jarre !.

You may have heard of Oxygene which sold 25 000 000 albums worldwide.

Russell Watson has the best voice I have ever heard.

Spandua Ballet were very underated and did a superb live act.

Educate yourself old boy.

Oh - and The Waterboys final gig at the Top Rank
 


Too many for only one.

6 of the best - Genesis and Peter Gabriel to pay his debts after the first WOMAD MK Bowl.
Subhumans - all of them.
Conflict - some of them
The Clash - Apollo Ardwick Mcr in 1977. whole rows of seats being passed over heads during White Riot.
Electrohippies - lots again.
Neil Young - just class act especially with Nils playing guitar.
Motorhead supported by Girlschool Overkill tour 1977??
Flux of Pink Indians - Masses but especially supported by Chumbawumba and KUKL (became sugercubes then Bjork)

Forgotten lots of others due to excess alcohol consumption.

Blythe Power were always fun in the early days as well :D

Just remember seeing Dire Straights at Stonehenge free one time as well. They played in a tent with a portable generator. I was wrecked on some top class speed.
