I sometimes thnk Ive missed out on so much in life...... I would have loved to have seen some of these groups.
I like to go see live music when I can though, we have a good scene here in Bristol if you know where to go for it. Nothing like singing along and shaking ya head till you have headache eh?
xanaisx >>>gone to turn the music up and annoy the neighbours for a change!! :twisted:
ahh.. Anais.. We feel for you.. Unless you have been to a real rock concert with several thousand other nutters, a waft of strange smelling tobacco in the air and you sweatshirt tightly wound across your chest to try and stop the bass reverberating in your chest cavity...
you haven't lived.... :sad:
Mind you.. your hearing is probably waaaaay better than ours!!
Still.. nostalgia isn't what it used to be....

I'm the same as Jaymar on this one, I prefer soft rock, the likes of Yes, Asia & Journey, although I was a big Led Zeppelin fan & did see John Bonham in his last gig at Knebworth & I do like Black Sabbath, Ozzy :thumbup:

Great thread sercher.
About 6 months ago I moved house and was finally able to unbox all my old vinyl that had been in the loft for years.
Been listening to some right classic stuff recently.
A lot of them have been mentioned in this thread by others but see if these names ring any bells and bring back some happy memories!!!
