I heard the Pink Floyd play 'Arnold Layne' in Bristol, way back in1968. Syd Barrett was on stage, but it is entirely possible that Dave Gilmour was 'covering' for him in the wings.
Good lightshow though. :)

You two are really lucky! I once managed to catch Live from Pompeii on Channel 4 once. :eek:
Did you see this photo of me standing outside Earls Court waiting to go in. I am the one in the denim jacket!

I'd rather see them in a small venue than the proper Pink Floyd in a large venue. Can't stand big gigs.
I prefer listening to the CD than going to a stadium gig.
I went to see Iron Maiden (my fave band) at Twickenham once, watched about 5 mins and spent the rest of the gig in the bar. It wasn't quite the Ruskin Arms.

I saw Iron Maiden as a support band to AC/DC back in 1976 on their Highway to Hell tour at Bingley Hall Stafford. Didn't know who Iron Maiden were and don't think I made much effort to listen to them but certainly listened to Bon Scott and Mr Young do their stuff. Bingley Hall was not a particularly large venue and watching one of the worlds soon to be mega rock bands before their move to massive stadiums was a fantastic experience.
I think for me AC/DC were at their height as a band then although I am sure others may disagree but then I am not sure that many folk who became fans of the band saw them perform at a small venue and with Bon Scott. They only know them as the stadium mega rock band?
yes of course it was the album they came back with after Bon Scotts death. The two Young brothers were really inspired to write something memorable as a tribute and they came up with an album which is one of the best selling records of all time. I think it was No 5?
