What wonderful memories

Last year my daughter, who is in her mid 50's went to see Adam Ant, she said it was fantastic.

I love The Who and saw them live eventually about 10 years ago and they were amazing. I had tickets to see them at Celtic Park in 76, when the late great Keith Moon was still alive, but I was only 15 and my Mum refused to let me go! It was 100s of miles away and I was to travel in the back of a van with 3 male friends. No idea why she didn't think it was a good idea! I was reading an article about the recent Who Wembley concerts and at the end of one gig Roger apparently said - “Our glamour is gone, our youth is gone, but the music still sounds fucking brilliant.” Sums it all up excellently I thought!

I'm so pleased to see that there are other Leonard Cohen fans on here. After being a fan for 40+yrs, I only ever saw him perform on one occasion - August 2013 at Manchester MEN Arena - when he did an extra date after his World Tour. I just felt so grateful to be able to see and hear him 'live', and at 79 he STILL HAD IT! When a man of that age can 'drop to his knees' singing, stay down for a while and then stand back up again WITHOUT HAVING TO USE A HAND TO GET UP .............. well, what more can you say ;-)!

Saw Cliff Richard a couple of years ago, at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, and again, he's still got it :-D.

A few years ago, I went to one of the Solid Silver 70s shows at Liverpool Echo Arena to see Les McKeown's Bay City Rollers (brilliant), Osmonds with Jimmy but no Donny (fabulous), Leo Sayer (pathetic and thought it was 'all about him') and David Essex (woo woo!!!!!).

About 15yrs ago, went to see Yardbirds, Spencer Davis Band and The Troggs (at Liverpool Empire) - absolutely ROLLICKING performances from all of them .................... Reg Presley was an amazingly good 'entertainer' with lots of banter and hilarious tales to tell.

Blondie, Lionel Richie and ELO.....all still got it live!

Olliebeak Leonard Cohen's concerts were fantastic and so many good songs to choose from. I just got Jennifer Warnes album. Don't like it all but Joan of Arc fantastic. Can hear it on youtube. (apologies for going offthread a bit everyone )

Saw the Stones at our local park in 1982...they were fantastic. Paul Young Joe Jackson and Dr Feelgood were accompanying acts. The weather was glorious and we could take a picnic. Also saw Genesis there with Phil Collins in the 80’s. Going to see Ed Sheeran there in August and it’s only a 5 minute walk from where I live.
Still go to see Alan Price when in London. He always puts on a good show and his voice is still strong. Also Shakatak..still really good and such a distinctive sound.

Saw The Eagles couple weeks ago, excellent. Still sound the same and great musicians. Glen Freys son stood in for him, he would have been proud

Deviating slightly here BUT has anyone ever seen (or even heard of) the saxophonist KENNY G? Played on the Celine Dion recording of My Heart Will Go On (Titanic).
He’s ill regarded by many jazz musicians but nevertheless he is one of the best selling instrumentalists of modern times.
I love his music and find it very relaxing. Unfortunately the same doesn’t go for his stage persona, he can be very smutty (I’ve seen him live both in London and the U.S) which put me off a bit but still can’t deny he’s a great musician.

I saw the Stones in Barcelona about 2 years ago on their current tour. Mick was amazing, Keith was awful to the point of embarrassment.
The first time I saw them (over half a century ago) they weren't even top of the bill! They finished the first half of a Little Richard concert.
