Music from Down Memory Lane

[Old Cruser]

I took my brother to see Gary Glitter in sheffield the girl next to me fainted  so I attended to her until first aid arrived. She was on the same 'milk train' as us going home and gave me a box of chocies (bless)

I was into the Beatles, animals, Kinks, yardbirds ohhh could go on and on the 60's was a brill time to be a teenager. I did get to see some of them in chessy/sheffield as well.

You're all a bunch of oldies......

If I remember correctly, my first concert was to see Toyah at the City Hall, (saw her a few times), though I saw that many acts in the 80s, not sure now. I was a bit into punk and electro-pop sort of stuff.
Biggest act I've seen? Madonna a couple of times, once in the 80s when she was just another pop star, and more recently spent £300 to see her in Manchester.
Best all round performance, Peter Gabriel, gresat music but visually stunning too.

Bands I wish I'd seen, Queen with Freddie of course, Michael Jackson, would love to see Bowie live, and Prince.

Yep I am an oldie and my memories will be differnt artists to you but enjoy reading your post as it brings back memories of artist I had forgotton about ---- Madonna --- whooooo she had a 'bit of a reputation at one time, but very popular wasn't she.

I know of punk - but what is electro-pop?
Seeeee  --- I am old!!!

Saw Dylan about 3 years ago, unimpressed compared to his standard of performance on his live album with The Band

[Old Cruser]

I enjoyed Dylan in his hey days some said he was a crap singer -- I just enjoyed his music

Rod stewart was and still is one of my favourites --- some of his stuff is a raunchy if you listen to the words to nights the night is very ermmm ----- but i enjoy it!

Dave McPhie
 
Don't you mean Jock Macpie?
that's what we used to call him.  Kept the music shop at the end of Newbold Rod.
Used to manage Shape of the Rain and Harry Greibson String Band.

I always called him Dave from when he worked for Hudsons in the Market Hall on the singles counter.

Met him recently at a friend's funeral. Doesn't change one bit.

He also played drums for the Blueberries, in fact I bought their single, Its Gonna Work Out Fine, from him in Hudsons back in 1965.

He then went on to start Some Kinda Mushroom where I bought my albums for many years. If I remember correctly he sold it on to Stuart Smith who now owns Zebra next to the Winding Wheel.

Is he the guy with the bookshop at Bakewell that sells a bit of music, only stuff he considers good like in the book / film Hi Fidelity?

Ah that's his name... always got mixed up with Mcpherson.
If I'm right he was in the Daily Mirror, because he got married in All White.
Two of the Harry Greibson Band used to work at Donkins,  when I worked there. Can,t remember
their names Tho'
Also remember a Band called The Frank White Band playing a few times at the Vic
