That said, watching the P-Funk at the Ritz in December was very special indeed.

Saw the Parliament/Funkadelic roadshow at the old Belle Vue back in 78, it was about 4-5 hours long. I'd been, lets say, entertaining the ladies of North West England that weekend so I was goosed when I made it to the concert. I fell asleep about 3 hours in. Legend in these parts to this day! "How the fuck could you sleep thru that, it was so fucking loud!"

Apart from that;

Betty Wright at the 1st Wigan Casino Anniversary Allnighter Sept '74

Roy Ayers Apollo late '78

Ronnie McNeir Carlton Warrington, early '80s

Freddie Jackson '87 approx (and Luthor a couple of weeks after) both at Apollo

Ennio Morricone Hammersmith Apollo Dec '06

Gonna see Tony Bennett in June.
