                            Only knew about half but reminded me of all those mentioned I saw live in their early years in small venues. Jimmy Hendrix in Newbury, Pink Floyd at Farnborough tech college, Led Zeppelin at Peterborough, many more at various festivals, Reading, Bath, Isle of White etc. also many at the whisky a go go and the temple club below. John Mayalls bluesbrakers were our resident band at Basingstoke town hall. I did have a lot more hair in those days and was cool in my Kaftan.
