It's the 40th anniversary today of ELO playing at Sussex University.

I went with a mate but we missed a lot of their set because they can came on stage very late (after support act 'Chopyn') and we wanted to get last train home to Seaford (which we missed, had to get a taxi at huge expense).

Was anyone else on NSC there? I was impressed by the 2 cellos, I don't know if they had a trick cello explode at the end because I'd gone by then.

Included 'Can't Get it Out of My Head' also from 1975:

On a related note, my mate and I are going to the match on Saturday and would be good to return, for the first time together, to Falmer House afterwards, does anyone know if the bar is open to non-students and can the queue for the trains be bypassed?

According to Bev Bevan in his book, they came to Brighton in a helicopter but the pilot couldn't find the racecourse to land, which is why they were so late.

Thanks, I didn't know about this book but I've just found it on eBay and Amazon - at prices way beyond my budget!

Blimey - I've got a copy of that book and never dreamed it would be worth so much!
