Suddenly feel old

Esspee the thing to hang on to was that they don't seem able to believe you are as old as you actually are so you are obviously doing well and looking good.

They may have said the Stones have been around forever but it sounds as if they were completely surprised that you could have seen them way back when.

Loulou21 like you I saw groups at Leyton Baths. It was a swimming pool that was boarded over and then became a dance floor. I remember seeing the Searchers there and others which have slipped my mind.

We were on the isle of wight in 1970 when bob dylan was there, but didn't go for the concerts. the ferries to and fro was heaving with happy hippiesv.

Sorry, silverlining, Wrong year. Bob Dylan did the IW festival in 1969. 1970 was Jimi Hendrix and Joan Baez.

I saw the Stones at Knebworth in 1976. Not really at their best and problems with the sound system. Still pleased that I saw them though.
Several years ago the young girls I work with were off to Knebworth to see Oasis and thought it hysterical when I told them I had been to a concert there. That made me feel old!

Old age sucks. But no one but the Stones look really really crepey !! (sic)

Saw the m at Wembley- the Steel Wheels tour.
There were people there with cool boxes. COOL BOXES WITH FOOD AT A STONES CONCERT!!
When we left and walked down to the tube the way was policed with mounted policemen. Most of us stopped to pet the horses and have a chat with the officers.
HOW TIMES CHANGE.

Oops it was 1969 then. Definitely dylan. Thanks merlot

Yes, Esspee, I have had my bubble burst in that way. Some years back I had a friend who was six years younger than me. I am godmother to her daughter. We were having a birthday BBQ with my friend and daughter, who at that time was about 4/5 years old. During the afternoon my GD came and sat on my lap, she looked straight at my face and said 'you'r old' very loudly, which stopped the conversation all around!

Pamela, we went to a Who gig a few years back and sat with others in an area full of fold down chairs and cool boxes (and the odd tartan knee blanket ). A fresh-faced young thing strayed over to this area at one point and announced loudly that it was like bloody Homebase.

We added to the stereotype by not remembering where we'd parked the car, and having to stand at the end waiting for everyone else to drive off past us till it was about the last one left in the carpark.

Marc Bolan bought me a drink and chatted during the interval of a gig in 1969. He was absolutely lovely. It was before his T Rex reinvention and he sat at the edge of the stage playing the bongos and mesmerising all the girls. He died when I was on honeymoon. The recent documentary brought back a lot of memories.

I suddenly felt old recently when I got a letter from the NHS.
"Can't be for a smear test, I'm too old" I thought.
It wasn't.
It was for a flu jab as I am in an 'at risk' category.

I missed seeing David Bowie, very early on. I asked my mum to buy tickets for me and BF, as I was at work.
She said the lady in the shop (local electricians/record shop) had told her not to bother as no-one was buying tickets and it would probably be cancelled.!!
"Of course it will, if she tells everyone that" I said.
Transport difficulties and work times meant we didn't have another chance to buy a ticket.
And, dear reader, the concert was cancelled.
