My Concert Reviews..

The Blockheads
20th December 2008, Worthing Assembley Hall

We were looking forward to this gig, really looking forward to it. We entered the hall, which looked disserted, an attendent informed me that only 135 out of 900 tickets had been sold ..Arrgh not a good start. ok so painfully watching the support band the Blockheads came on. Now these guys know what they are doing even without Ian Dury holding the helm, even in an empty barn they ploughed through the set as enthusisaticly as possible and even included a few tracks from a new album due in 2009. considering the fantastic support from the locals in Worthing. I think they did a pretty good job.

Status Quo
12th December 2008, Brighton Centre

Status Quo successfully charged through 40 years of hits. Even though these guys have been doing this for so long, their stage pressence is still fresh. If you have not seen Status Quo.. YOU SHOULD! you are guarenteed a great evening

The Jason Falloon Band
22nd August 2008 Horsham, Holbrook

Jason, who previously played in and around Horsham with the Falloons and Renegade, is now based in Germany. So seeing him and his new band in Horsham was good to see. Also most of the same crowd from yesteryear also returned for this show, which was great. At the end of the show Jason brother and father joined the band on stage for a rousing rendition of Hey Jude. Support band also a local Horsham Band, Tube Snake Boogie made a great warm up act for the main show. ps: they never played tube snake boogie.. oh well :-)

Nightwish
26th March 2008 London Astoria

This is a Finnish symphonic/power metal band that really know how to take whats on the album into a live show, the show was fantastic, after every song the crowd applauded the performance, new vocalist Anette was fantastic and Bass player Marco has to be one of the coolist bass players around. The support band Pain were also a excellent as the support.

Joan Jett, Motorhead and Alice Cooper
10th November 2007 Birmingham NEC

Joan Jett provided a great warm up set, Motorhead were on form, exceptionally loud, the set also included an accoustic song which was fun to see.
Alice Cooper was great he charged through the hits, and for the first time i got to see him hanged which happend at the end of Steven, Great show.. when can I go again.

Albert Lee and Hogans Heros
May 2007 Chiddingfold Village Hall

I spotted this concert on the village notice board, and knowing who Albert Lee was, well had to go. The gig was at Chiddingfold village hall, so we are talking intermate here. The support was came from a rockabilly band who were a good warm up act. The atual concert it self im sure was really just a great showcase for Albert Lee's guitar skill. The band Hogans Heros are a real collection of people, that make the show just great. Durng the show Gary Brooker (Procal Harlem) got up and played a couple of numbers, I also spotted Eric Clapton in the crowd as well. This is a recomended act if you see an advert for Albert Lee.. Go see him its worth it.

Terry Garoghan
25th March 2006 Brighton Dome

Brighton the musical is a one man show that takes you for a trip through Brighton, using modern and classic songs sung to the beat of brigton. E.g. queen's - We Are The champions.. We Are The Brightonians. Along with additional humour and some excellent heckeling from the crowd between songs we had a great eveining.

Kevin Bloody Wilson
11th November 2005 Worthing Pavilion

Over 2 hours of Very Rude and funny musical humour.

Alice Cooper, Twisted Sister
5th November 2005 Brighton centre

Support act Twisted Sister were excellent, one of the best support acts I have seen for ages. Alice Cooper, as always put on an excellent show, even though I have seen him before, the show still remains fresh.

Queen + Paul Rodgers
11th May 2005 Wembley Pavilion

19 years since I last saw Queen, I'M NOT OLD :-) Ok so this time its without Freddie and John..:-(
But, Paul Rodgers is a great front man, being doing it for many years and can carry any song. The gig was Queen through and through with a bit of Paul Rodgers thrown in. A great mix and it was great to see Brian May play those classic Free / Bad Company tracks. The crowd joined in enthusiastically with the clapping in Radio Ga Ga and We Will Rock You Loved, hearing Roger sing I'm In Love With My Car, and the blues version of Hammer to Fall.

Deep Purple
16th November 2004 Brighton Centre

Supported by the excellent Thunder, and... Peter Frampton. Both were amazing support acts, and to get to see these 3 bands for the price of 1.. well, what more could you ask. Deep Purple as always were excellent. This was the penultimate concert for this tour, which has been ongoing for 18 months. DP played tracks from the new album and plenty from the archives, including the obvious greatest hits.

George Benson
25th May 2004: Wembley Arena London

This concert was a seated event, however the seats were hardly used, the whole audience stood for most of this concert. The show had an uplifting beat, only a few ballads appeared through the evening. PS: Check out the guitar playing. Fantastic stuff!!

80's Revival
13th December 2003 : Brighton Centre

China Crisis, T'pau, Curiosity Killed the Cat, Nick Heyward, Heaven 17, Howard Jones, Five Star, ABC, Kim Wilde and Paul Young all in one show. Each act only had an allocated time to do their thing with the assistance of the house band, (except for Howard Jones who brought his own band... well done Howard). Unfortunately, they screwed up Paul Young's vocals. Apart from that, a great evening.

Status Quo
27th June 2003 : Petworth Park

Organised by the National Trust, on a brilliant sunny afternoon. Cheryl had packed a picnic (Don't ask!!).
Status Quo arrived a little late but soon got into things starting off with Caroline. The set included 4 tracks from the latest Heavy Weather album, and the show rounded off with Whatever You Want and Roll Over Beethoven.

Bouncing Souls
3rd June 2003 : Brighton Concorde 2

Shared headline by the Bouncing Souls and Boy Sets Fire. Did not rate Boy Sets Fire, but the Bouncing Souls were great. The support act the Beat Steaks (who claim they were from Russia) were great. During their final rendition which was a medley between Jazz, Punk and AC/DC, the vocalist decided to climb into the rafters of the hall, certainly a way to get remembered. Pity their name is not quite so memorable. The Beat Steaks, if you see their name, go see them.

Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson
26th April 2003 : Worthing Assembly Hall

Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson: That man from down under who has the dirtiest songs around including some very funny & rude jokes in between the songs. Tracks included 'Santa Claus you C**@ where's my bike'. Support was provided from Jenny Taylor who also provided some very dirty songs, Cheryl's favourite from Jenny was 'Bastar*@'

Peter Greens Splinter Group
11th February 2003 : Worthing Assembly Hall

A nice surprise this one, as Cheryl (the wife) asked if I wanted to go only two days before. The concert started with an acoustic set. The band sitting down played a mix of old and new blues. Followed by a short break and into the second half of the show. The electric guitars were out, including some classic Fleetwood Mac tracks and tracks from their own catalogue.

Alice Cooper
17th November 2002 : Brighton Centre

Alice and Co doing the rounds with the Monsters of Rock / Dragon town tour. Support provided by the excellent Thunder, ok they look a touch older than I remember, but the songs and their ability to rock had not been lost with the years. Alice's set looked pretty similar to the Brutal planet tour with a few extras here and there. The execution and the resurrection were all there, with style of course. Still a good show. And I bought a signed tour guide :-).

Fat Boy Slim
13th July 2002 : Brighton Beach

Brighton expected an amazing 60.000 people to turn up for this free concert. Instead a small 250,000 people descended onto Brighton. People were hanging from the street lights, standing on roofs anywhere there was room. We managed to get through the crowd to see the stage positioned by West Pier. Great atmosphere. Hope he does it again next year.

Deep Purple
19th February 2002 : Brighton Centre

Supported by the Planets, a classical rock group, very good intro for Deep Purple.
Gillan has decided to stop dying his hair, and had a cold. Clearly this did not stop him or the rest of the band. They rocked for a good 2 hours. Plenty of improvisation, probably due to Gillan's voice.
As the concert finished and the band were saying their goodbye's I got to shake hands with Roger Glover and Ian Gillan. Cheryl (now the wife) managed to scramble and catch the guitar pick of Steve Morse.

Bo Diddley
11th November 2001 : London Astoria

Never know what to expect when you see someone like this. Either pure brilliance or washed out. Well, Bo Diddley was brilliant. Except for the intro which made the show more entertaining. He built up the intro of the first song so much, by the time he hit the guitar to go into the 1st verse, the guitar strings broke. He took it in his stride and just picked up some new strings and replaced them middle of the stage and carried on.

Charlie Watts
16th June 2001 : Ronnie Scotts, London

Jazz with the Drummer from the Rolling Stones, at the best jazz house in London. How cool can you get. No vocals required for this gig. Sitting in Ronnie Scotts, having a beer and relaxing.

AC/DC
8th June 2001 : Milton Keynes

AC/DC in the Milton Keynes Bowl, with a huge stage and an even longer stage extension than that at Wembley Arena. Brian Johnson made a point of saying that the stage was too long. Support by the Offspring who were a great, and the Queens of the Stone Age, who weren't great.

Rhythm Kings
5th June 2001 : Guildford Civic Hall

Gary Brooker was unable to make this gig (so we thought), a replacement was playing instead. Halfway through the show, Gary came out and played two tracks before leaving, letting his replacement continue.
Bill Wyman and the boys made a great evening.

AC/DC
5th December 2000 : Wembley Arena

Along with Gary, Tracey and her brother, we all headed up to see AC/DC. As we walked into the arena, the first thing we saw was the extended stage walkway that went right to the centre of the arena and a giant ball and chain hanging from the ceiling. As predicted, the show started with "Stiff Upper Lip", and just continued to rock. The show was not complete without the Angus Young guitar solo and Brian Johnson swinging on the ball & chain for the introduction of "Hells Bells".

Jethro Tull
29th November 2000 : Guildford Centre

Supported by Willy Porter, an American singer songwriter doing a solo set with just an acoustic guitar.
He sure made some interesting sounds with that thing. Ian Anderson and the boys put on a great show. There was no way I was going to get bored here. We had front row tickets centre stage. At one point Ian Anderson came out with a small camera and took some pictures of the crowd including one of Cheryl.

Bluestones
30th October 2000 : Brighton Centre

I thought we were going to see The Bluebells. Oh well. Great band. Light pop music.
The hall was full of nice university type of people. Nice evening.

Vandals
20th October 2000 : Pavilion Theatre, Brighton

I lost my car keys.

Motorhead
28th July 2000 : Brixton Academy

VERY LOUD still.

Alice Cooper
19th July 2000 : London Apollo

Alice Cooper and Co putting on the whole show for us with the Brutal Planet tour. An excellent robot / human type thing started the show off welcoming us to brutal planet. Alice found himself being beheaded on stage (fantastic trick) and then being resurrected in equal style. Plus an excellent cover of "My Generation".

Iron Maiden
16th June 2000 : Earls Court

Iron Maiden return with Bruce Dickenson and put on a great show and all, but for a heavy rock concert it looked all to clean and organised. There was no raw edge to it. Still very worth going. The support was provided by Slayer (not for the weak hearted), a seriously heavy hand.

Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings
5th June 2000 : Croydon Fairfield Halls

Bill Wyman, Georgie Fame, Gary Brooker and the rest of the band put on an excellent show.
Just totally great music and with a band that looked like they were really enjoying it. A must for anyone who loves music.

Warren Zevon
19th May 2000 : Shepherd's Bush Empire

Strange show this one. I did not know what to expect and I certainly did not expect Warren Zevon to do a solo set. He came on to an empty stage armed with just his guitar, great stuff. Why can't more people put on a show like that.

Van Morrison
20th March 2000 : Brighton Centre

Jools Holland
19th June 2000 : Horsham Park

Supported by George Melly. Jools Holland and his band filled the stage. There was not much room to move around up there. Good job Jools plays the piano. Sam Brown is one of his backing vocalists, + lead vocals on a few numbers. Best evening I've had in Horsham park.

Jamiroquai
9th June 1999 : Brighton Centre

Supported by a DJ with a record deck. I went to the bar, but returned for JK and the boys.
This time with a new bass player. Shame, Mr Zender was a lot better. The set was funky and fast, but overall a great show and good to see them in Brighton.

Fugazi
14th May 1999 : Brighton Centre

Difficult to describe this band. The nearest I got was 'Prog Punk'.
They did not appear to be any breaks in between the songs. It was just one long song.

Gay Dad
21st January 1999 : Pressure Point, Brighton

A great place, the Pressure Point. The band played a great set. I was that close to buying the album.

Snuff
27th November 1998 : University of London

Typical university bar, not really ideal for holding gigs. But hey, Snuff are great and as always, put on a good show.

Ian Dury and the Blockheads
18th October 1998 : The Forum, London

A unique band if ever there was one. From the moment Ian came on with the aide of his minder, the crowd was in total appreciation. The show was great, they sounded great and really looked like they enjoyed being there. The saxophone guy played his solo with two saxophones at once. The set list included all the best tracks 'Jack Sh*t', 'Reasons to be Cheerful' and 'Sex & Drugs & Rock 'n Roll'.

Motorhead
17th October 1998 : Brixton Academy

One of the loudest bands ever and no ballads in sight. This is heavy metal.

Deep Purple
14th October 1998: Wembley Arena

The classic rock band. The band were on Big Breakfast that morning, and played 'Black Night'. Great way to start the day, could not wait to get to the gig. We had tickets about 3 rows from the front. 2 hours of real rock. All the classic tracks and very loud.

Black Sabbath
20th June 1998 : Milton Keynes

This day was a long day coming, the original line up of Sabbath. Well except for the last minute, Bill Ward decided he could not play, so the guy from Faith No More stepped in. However, Bill was there, Ozzy got him on stage and dropped his trousers for him. Poor bloke. I have Sabbath records on tape, CD etc., but to be standing in the middle of Milton Keynes Bowl, those few moments before they came on stage was very exciting. And yes they do sound bigger, better and LOUDER live.

Alice Cooper
26 March 1998 : London Astoria

Alice has brought the carnival this time round, along with the guillotine and all. Half way through the show, they cut Alice's head off, and then resurrected him by placing his head on the body of the Frankenstein mummy. Cool. This show was half rock concert and half stage show, a cool mix (if you can do it).

Status Quo
11th December 1997 : Brighton Centre

Supported by Paul Rogers (Free) who was absolutely brilliant. All those classic tracks that everyone wants to hear from the Free and Bad Company days and more. On rolled the speakers, the rumble of "Whatever You Want" started and the Quo entered the stage. Guitars hanging low, swinging in time and the show kicked off. Playing all of their best tracks. A non stop ride of classic track after another.

Vandals
26th September 1997 : The Garage, London

Very cool punk band with some great songs including, "I Have A Date" and a great cover of Tiffany's 'I Think We Are Alone Now'.

Snuff
19th July 1997 : Waltham Forest Community Hall

Apart from the fact that we got lost finding the place, and got lost finding the car at the end of the evening, we had a great evening of punk music. In the room adjoining the concert hall, grannies were serving tea ? at a punk concert? AND the council sports centre assistant stopped the show and said that he would stop the gig if people did not stop misbehaving ??

Alice Cooper
8th July 1997 : London Astoria

Not the normal style of concert for Alice. None of the big stage show (or make up). Just him and the band. Good to see Alice like this. I was expecting some sort of stage show, but this was a stripped down performance. That was rock 'n roll in Alice's way of course.

Jamiroquai
6th June 1997 : Finsbury Park London

One of the many support bands was Finlay Quayle who is probably the most laid back person I have ever seen on stage. He just wandered around as if he was at home. Jamiroquai were great. Stuart Zender on bass playing some seriously funky stuff. JK with his unique voice and dance, ensured a great evening.

Splodgenessabounds
March 1997 : Camden

Anyone remember this band?. I only new of one of their songs, Two pints of larger and a packet of crisps. This band are are fun & the nearest thing I can imagine to stepping back into the late 70's and right into the punk scene in london. during one of teh songs the guitarist put down his guitar an dsimply left the stage to buy a beer at the bar. the band did not even appear to worry that there guitarist had just stopped.. Im guessing he's done that before :-)

The Descendants
20th February 1997 : Electric Ballroom, Camden

The Ballroom was heaving, so much so you could not move. The band started with "Everything Sucks". The crowd just started to jump up and down. 'How' I don't know, but we survived. I must have lost half a stone in weight from sweat. Must do that again one day!

The Damned
15th December 1996 : London Astoria

Fantastic Band. Capitan Sensible and the boys are great. The crowd was like gothic city, and the music was brilliant. It's a pity Sensible did not play 'Happy Talk'.

Ocean Colour Scène
16th September 1996 : Brighton Centre

Can't say I know too much about this band, except for the track that Chris Evans plays on his TFI programme, but good light hearted entertainment.

Cast
12th September 1996 : Brighton Centre

Absolutely awful.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers
11th July 1996 : Wembley Arena

Supported by No Doubt (before they were famous). They were great. RHCP came on wearing dressing gowns and Flea decided to strip after the first song 'Completely Nude'. Whilst we were waiting for the band, all I could see were college kids. I did wonder where the big guys were. As the band came on, the big guys stood up and made Wembley Arena seem very full all of a sudden. Great fun.

BB King
30th June 1996 : Royal Albert Hall

With seats only five rows from the stage in the Royal Albert Hall, I knew was looking forward to this. BB King with Lucille (his guitar) came onto stage, bowed and immediately announced, that he was not 81, but in fact 82. Then proceeded to play "Let the Good Times Roll". Nice way to start a show. I must mention the support band, The Big Joe Turner Band with a nice big bass sound.

George Benson
29th June 1996 : Birmingham

Cheryl is the one into GB, so I was simply dragged along. I did not know any of his catalogue, but when "Give Me the Night" came up, I was going I know that one. A very cool guy and now I even own GB on DVD.

Rage Against the Machine
11th May 1996 : Brixton Academy

I don't know too much about this band, but when they played "Killing in the Name", I liked them.
For what seemed like ages, he sang, 'I Won't Do What You Tell Me' over and over again. Then came the band and the rest of the song. Fantastic

Ozzy Ozbourne
18th November 1995 : Brixton Academy

Supported by Fear Factory, Ozzy put on one of the best shows I have seen. Before the show started, they played a short film of Ozzy inserted into famous video clips. Very funny. The show was just as good, Ozzy dropping his trousers now and again and throwing water across the crowd. What fun.

Metallica
26th August 1995 : Donnington Park

To be honest, I don't remember much. But I'm sure it was loud and very good.

Rolling Stones
11th July 1995 : Wembley Stadium

Supported by the Black Crows.
The Stones as anyone can imagine are great. The show was as slick as you can get. The theme of Voodoo Lounge was great. 'Sympathy for the Devil' was just fantastic. If I was to see The Stones again, I think I would like to see them in somewhere like the Astoria.

Motorhead
11th June 1995 : Brixton Academy

VERY LOUD. After the 3rd song Lemmy asked the crowd if the sound needed turning up. And did he, ouch. But what a great gig. Not a family band, that's for sure.

Born to Rock 'N' Roll
18th May 1995 : Wembley Arena

An evening with Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. Fats Domino called in sick.
So Chuck and Little Richard both played extended sets. Chuck Berry was not enjoying himself at all. At one point, he stopped the show and gave the sound man some good old shouting. Little Richard though was totally different. He was standing on his piano (with the assistance of a roadie). When it came to "Good Molly Miss Molly", he kept stopping and saying, "I like that. I shall do it again", and proceeded to start the song again cool.

Chuck Berry
5th May 1995 : Crawley Leisure Centre

What a place to come and see a Rock 'N Roll legend. Oh well, but hey, as soon as the guy stepped on stage, you forgot where you were and got with the Chuck Berry rhythm. A surprisingly small band, but I guess that is how they did it back then. Great stuff.

The Cult
8th December 1994 : The Event II Brighton

I had a horrible cold at this gig and spent the whole time with a heavy winter coat on. Andy who came along to the gig with me, said that Billy Duffy (guitarist) was at the bar ordering a drink whilst the support band were on. Cool. The gig itself was great.

Roger Taylor
19th November 1994 : Shepherd's Bush Empire

A bit of luck knowing Roger's guitarist, Jason Falloon who assisted with tickets (thanks mate).
Following the release of the Happiness album, Roger hit the road. Performing some of the old Queen classics, "We Will Rock You" and "Radio Ga Ga" and some of the new stuff. Roger let Jason Falloon take centre stage and play one of his own tracks, "Soul". Not many people new it. But I did.

Harry Connick Jr
29th October 1994 : Brighton Centre

Having booked tickets for a Jazz evening, we took our places. On stage however was a massive drum kit, 8 Keyboards, electric guitar and an electric bass. The band came on wearing jeans and not suits as we expected. From the very first note played, we said this ain't jazz and for the rest of the evening they played New Orleans funk. We were simply blown away, we got right into it. Harry proceeded to play all the instruments during the concert. During the final song, the band all wore yellow hard hats. Don't know why.

Night of 100 Guitars 'Gibson'
26th June 1994: Earls Court

A chance for Gibson to celebrate 100 years of their guitar. All the related stars were there. I was seated at the far left of the stage and had a pretty good view of stuff behind the curtain. Pride and Glory, Thunder and many other were there. The show also included an excellent Drum Solo by Cozy Powell and Zakk Star.

Oasis
8th June 1994 : Marquee, London

I went along to see Oasis and did not know what to expect. I found possibly the most miserable band ever. The sound was raw and full of energy. That said, I think the support were probably better. If I could only remember their name.
**Update 8th Feb 2006-Andy Mitchelson phoned me to say that the support band was Strangelove. Top man**

Billy Joel
11th May 1994 : Earls Court

Metallica
5th June 1993 : Milton Keynes

Only a week since the last gig and back at Milton Keynes. Metallica were supported by great bands, "Diamond Head and Slayer". The show was the fastest thing I have yet seen and probably the loudest.

Guns 'N Roses
29th May 1993 : Milton Keynes

This show was organised by the company I worked for at the time. A coach was organised and droves us up. We all got really drunk on the bus, and had a lovely sleep whilst the support bands played. Guns 'N Roses looked like the needed some sleep themselves. They were right at the end of a two year tour and they looked tired. Still, it was a good old fashioned rock n roll, and you can't knock that.

Meatloaf
13th December 1992 : Wembley Arena

Very good show. The support act was a classical quartet which Meatloaf's guitarist came from behind the curtain with his guitar and kicked the quartet off stage. Curtain up and the rock started. There is no doubt Meatloaf is still a big bloke with a mighty set of lungs.

Brian May
12th June 1992 : Birmingham NEC

I was front row centre stage, best seat in the house. Neil Murray and Cozy Powell on bass and drums respectively. How can the evening be anything but great. Watching Brian do his guitar solo right in front of me was great. Never will forget that one. As "Hammer to Fall" played, hundreds of hammer shaped balloons fell from the roof. crowd loved it.

Cliff Richard
10th November 1992 : Wembley Arena

Just to put the record straight, I went with work. I did not pay any money. Got to say his Rock 'N' Roll stuff is great, you can't knock it.

Michael Jackson
21st August 1992 : Wembley Arena

Unfortunately, the nearest I could get was about 100 yards from the stage. Jackson was great, shame about the gold outfit he was wearing. He entered the stage via trapdoor lift at the front of the stage. After the final song 'Man in the Mirror', he left using a jet pack, and flew out of the stadium. (Obviously it was not him who was in the jumpsuit, but the impression was real).

Gary Glitter
12th July 1992 : Lee Valley Park

This is a guy who knows how to put on a show. The costumes were over the top and the music was pompous, but hey, it's Gary Glitter. After the show a large screen came down and the whole crowd was treated to the showing of the Rocky Horror film. Fantastic.

Dire Straits
8th June 1992 : Earls Court

Exactly the same show as previous, except for the keyboardist who dropped his tambourine at one point, which brought the song to a premature end, leaving the band members standing there laughing.

Madness
8th August 1992 : Finsbury Park, London

Supported by Ian Dury & The Blockheads, Morrissey and Flowered Up (who were awful).
When I was a kid, there was only one band that we listened to. That was Madness. So what a buzz to see them live. The crowd sang every song and the PA system had to be turned up to ensure the band was louder than the crowd.

Prince
15th June 1992 : Earls Court

Probably the best show I will get to see. The first song was "My Name is Prince", and it just got better and better. Still not sure about the splits though.. that must hurt.

Eric Clapton
28th February 1992: Royal Albert Hall

The stage looked like a rehearsal room, small speakers, cables, drinks and ashtrays littered the stage. As the show commenced, the lights went out and Clapton came out with a single white light on him.
Very cool, and played White Room.

Dire Straits
16th September 1991 : Wembley Arena London

Might as well have put the record on. They were so clean, it was almost too good.

ZZTop
06th July 1991 : Milton Keynes

A Festival of Rock: The Little Angels, Thunder, The Law, Bryan Adams and ZZTOP.
Every band on were fantastic. Harry from Thunder, riding round on a bike with a fake beard pretending to be a one of the guys from ZZTOP. The Law for having the bass turned up so loud, it hurt. Bryan Adams for just being great and ZZTOP for putting on a performance that says exactly why they are the TOP.

Queen
12 July 1986 : Wembley Arena London

My very first concert, along with my parents, my aunt, uncle and cousin.
Queen were supported by the Alarm and Status Quo. We stood about centre pitch of the stadium I remember thinking to myself, where did he go? Freddie Mercury was always on the move. He hardly stood still. Tthe end of the show was rounded off with "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions".
