First Gig Iron Maiden Oct/Nov 79 'Eves' night club Cheltenham Paul D'ianno on lead screech at the time

First live concert I went to? I'd have to ask my mum & dad as I don't think I could even walk at that age.

First one I remember clearly was around 1971/2 - I'd just started learning the Clarinet (aged 6) and saw Jack Brymer playing the Brahms and Mozart Clarinet Quintets at Cambridge Guildhall (can't recall the name of the string quartet). :)

I remember the first life show I saw. It was in Amsterdam in the red light district:eyebrows:. First record I bought was Float On by the Floaters. The 2nd was The Best of Bread, and the 3rd was Child In Time by Deep Purple. The only reason I remember them is because they were the only records I had for years...

Now that is a mad record - I remember it well!

Did you play it when you were gettin' down 'n' dirty, gettin' jiggy, bro? :eyebrows:

In those days I lived in South America and went to school with people who had rich parents. Aids was still 7 or more years away, and in the tropics even a bikini can be too much clothing in hot weather. As a college student one of the traditional task was to have scored with someone from each college year, and then it was with someone from each class. The right records helped, but I am afraid that I didn't have the same facilities as some that would allow me to travel far and wide in search of another cross in the right box. I am talking about a motorbike or car. I had to mainly be contend with college orgies, where it is not so much of a friendly atmosphere. It is more like rushing in, showing your skills, and letting someone else have a go afterwards... Then you ticked your score card the next day to keep track of how far you were on the list...
