I used to go to lots of gigs in the 70's, 80's and 90's mainly though still go to the occasional gig if it's local to me. In the last couple of years or so i've seen Fairport Convention at the local Lyceum Theatre aswell as Steeleye Span there too. Next May i've got tickets for Jethro Tull at the Victoria Hall in Hanley and the price wasn't too bad at £54 a ticket  *eek* and was thinking of going to see Eric Clapton but at £134 a go it's too steep for me considering i saw him and his band with Ronnie Lanes Slim Chance at the Vicky in 78/79 for £2.50.

Great song Muskie and a great album too, Welcome To My Nightmare.
I saw Alice at one of the Reading festivals, can't remember which now, i was a bit of a stoner, but it was supposed to be the last time he performed the Alice Cooper Show but he performed it again, and again, and again.....

Here's a good 'un, Raging Slab with Lord Have Mercy
I bought this cd in a music shop in Copenhagen and will never forget the shop assistant who was amazed that someone bought the cd as it had been in his shop since release about 10 years previous and he says to me "what is this Raging Slab" and it just tickled me. I'll get me coat.

Saw Eric Clapton and a few others do “Spoonful” back in the 70’s but not like this!

Went to see Jethro Tull last Saturday night at the Victoria Hall, Hanley, S-O-T. They were pretty good and Ian Anderson has put together a new band with none of the old members. I bought their new album a few months back and wasn't expecting it to be good but was quite surprised.
The nice thing about the Vicky is that it's a small venue with only a 1400 seat capacity, so you get quite an intimate show. I've seen loads of bands over the years there and apparently the venue has got some of the best acoustics in the country.
Anyway, this is one of the songs they played from their very first album in 1968.
