Oh my where to start!
Will keep it short and start at the beginning.
Everybody’s first concert should be on the list yes?
Mine is.
Van Der Graf Generator, yes truly... Lol
As a snot nosed 13 year old even I could see I was a bit out of place but heck yeah it was good!
Next up following week was AC/DC with Bon Scott on vocals. High Voltage? Darn right!
Then Ritchie Blackmore Rainbow with quintessential lineup of Blackmore, Dio and Powell.
Styx on their Paradise Theater tour.
Rory Gallagher in a smoky whiskey sodden dive club.
But even though was a die hard rocker it was hard to ignore the explosion of punk.
To that end I saw perhaps the most fantastic display of pure energy by a band ever.
All in a tiny underground club( crypt would be more like it!).
The Vibrators... Blew my mind.
So I decided we needed some life at the next college bash and as I was the treasurer on the student union I hired The Clash to play at at our Christmas gig.
Blew the next year’s entire budget in one night...lol
Still not quite sure why they asked me to step down the following week though.
