Bands of yesteryear

Quo was my first gig, Blackpool Opera House 'Can't stand the Heat' - they got banned for years as the punters wrecked the joint, chairs all over the place!

saw a few at Stafford, rush rainbow and ZZ Top and a Dio fronted Sabbath, proper cow shed, but better than Deeside leisure Centre, watching Whitesnake and Kiss with a blanket on the floor covering the Ice

Would love to have seen Rainbow and Sabbath with Dio on vocals.

Remember seeing a band called " Stackridge " at Portsmouth Guild Hall . ( sorta folk/rock ) The support was a little known band call Genesis .

Another band I’d forgotten about at that 1984 gig until I spotted this on marketplace earlier, signed play set/list from The Anti Nowhere League, another cracking punk band. I collected in Stoke, turns out he got it at the same gig, not only did he know my brother back in the day he couldn’t believe someone my age was there.
