Am I allowed to admire your choices at 51 years of age??


I'm not too far behind you barralad and I think it's a good statement the the music of the last 15 years or so is of a quality that it can still be appreciated by silly old gits.  I think the only period of music that really did my head in was the rave scene late 80's. I have not seen one mention of any of that music on this thread.  I have been to see a few of the newer bands with my nephew, and my neices' boyfriend and have thoroughly enjoyed the concerts despite being one of the older ones there.
They just don't like it when I throw a few wicked shapes on the dance floor though  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Chapman-Witney Streetwalkers at the Winter Gardens around about 1973/74 was one of the best gigs I've ever been to. The atmosphere was fantastic and I reckon they played about 5 encores. Roger Chapman was interviewed in the N.M.E. a week or two later and he was raving about it.

Wow.. some else who was there!! I was begining to think I'd dreamt it! Fantastic gig! I remember some bright spark swininging from a chandelier! I kept that NME was a while but like everything else in my past.. it's gone missing lol! Roger Chapman still gigs, his voice isn't quite as good and he's a bit larger now, but he's still good to watch! I think thet were supported by Dirty Tricks.. the next big thing in 76.. they now tour as a Led Zep tributeband called Stairway to Zeppelin! Theres some good vids on UTube of the Streetwalkers circa 76 that bring  a few memories back!

The Gardens in the 70's on a Thursday night was THE place to be. Only now can we truly appreciate how lucky we were. Most of the gigs were pay on the door if I remember rightly.

Saw Queen, Edgar Broughton Band, Sparks (their first ever British gig), Manfred Mann's Earthband, Cockney Rebel, Be Bop Deluxe, Stranglers, Sex Pistols etc. Utterly superb stuff!!!

I think it's a good statement the the music of the last 15 years or so is of a quality that it can still be appreciated by silly old gits.  


Speaking of bands from last 15 years, Gene were a good band. Also, their bass player is a Town fan.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

This is very true. A friend of mine recently opined that this is the first "generation" where kids and oldies are virtually listening to the same music and it forges some links between the generations. There is no way my parents would have listened to anything that I was listening to.

If you go to a concert no-one bats an eyelid if you are older. Equally I was impressed by the younger turn-out at Billy Bragg at the Engine Shed in Lincoln.

I was never that sure about the "rave" stuff but some of the great Manchester bands came out of it so it can't be all bad.
