A Rock quiz(the early years)

[burnie]

There were a lot of great artists back then, though not all the music carries that well lol.

[Starch]

What was everyone’s first gig, mine was Jimi Hendrix Experience, The corn exchange in Newbury in 1966.

[burnie]

Local bands at youth clubs in the early 60's, I was in one of them when at school, I think the Rolling Stones in '63 at The Leicester Art and Technical college was my first big gig.

Meatloaf, bat out of hell 2 tour NEC Birmingham
93/ 94 can’t remember exactly

[Snadger]

Hawkwind at City Hall, Newcastle, no idea what year.

[Starch]

The Stones, good start! Also was in a band briefly but we broke up because of artistic differences, our lead guitarist was brilliant and the rest of us were a bit rubbish. Saw Paul Simon at the NEC around that time, within the first 5 minutes of the gig he sliced his thumbnail off on a guitar string and was taken off stage, we thought it was all over but he came back after about 15 minutes with a thumb that looked like a lightbulb and played the rest of the gig left handed, what a trooper. I saw hawkwind at the temple in Wardour Street in an all night gig late 60's, you could get high just breathing down there, not surprised you don't remember when it was.
