Saw Fairport with Sandy. Beautiful.
3 Bands I really wish Id seen;Cracking album, that. I would’ve fallen into the trap, and said John McVie. And I played that record to dust. In those years, I saw just about everyone I wanted to see, with the exception of Hendrix (a lifelong regret), and these. Oh, and I suppose, the Fairport Convention line-up with Sandy Denny.
Everyone I knew who had seen them play told me that the difference between them on vinyl and them live was simply astonishing. Do people on here confirm that?
A good, underrated album: Then Play On. I bought that at a record shop right at the top of the parade that leads up to Piccadilly station, in fact. Anybody remember that shop?
3 Bands I really wish Id seen;
Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac
Caravan
Gentle Giant
Ive seen most other bands I liked in the late 60's/70's
Yes good shout but the earlier line up for me .....love to see them play Starless for half an hour :)I'd go along with that (saw Caravan; they weren't all that, honestly, but it was in the worst possible circumstances, a rock festival somewhere in Essex — it was no Woodstock, believe me).
Now you've got me thinking about it, though, I'd deeply have liked to have had the opportunity to see the King Crimson of the Fripp, Belew, Levin, Bruford line-up, i.e. round about the time of Discipline. Now that would have been something.
No you'd have to go to a footie thread for thatSo Peter Green isn't a new star centre forward then?
Agree about Caravan (one of the worst gigs ever). Gentle Giant were amazing live. And i mean amazing. King Crimson with Belew etc is my big miss. That 80s incarnation out talked the heads in their delivery.I'd go along with that (saw Caravan; they weren't all that, honestly, but it was in the worst possible circumstances, a rock festival somewhere in Essex — it was no Woodstock, believe me).

Apparently GG used to swap instruments on stageAgree about Caravan (one of the worst gigs ever). Gentle Giant were amazing live. And i mean amazing. King Crimson with Belew etc is my big miss. That 80s incarnation out talked the heads in their delivery.
Back on topic... i met Peter Green once, he was awkward socially but boy could he play guitar.
