That’s was about the time I started going to concerts at the Winter Gardens - missed Queen - can you remember how much a pint was there in the mid 70’s?!


Can't say for sure but I think probably about 20p CM

My first ever night 'out out' was at the Gardens 1973 ... Sunday night disco and I remember "enjoying" a pint or two of Worthington E

I can remember getting 3 pints of lager or 4 pints of bitter/mild for a quid or less.

I was a regular most weeks at the Gardens from mid 70's until they stopped the gigs. Lost track of the bands I saw there. Had loads of tickets from that time but they disappeared in one of my house moves. Wish I still had them. They may be tucked away in the loft somewhere.

Had and still have the pleasure of hundreds of gigs over the years but three that stand out in recent years were AC/DC at Olympiastadion Berlin, just before Brian Johnson left them, Rolling Stones at West Ham's stadium and Black Sabbaths last ever gig which was in Birmingham on my birthday.
I veer towards streetpunk /Oi but will watch nearly any live band.
This year since lockdown ended we've managed a one dayer at Blackpool Winter Gardens which was a truncated Rebellion festival, the night ended with UK Subs, Cockney Rejects and Cocksparrer.
I saw a fantastic set just the other week up in Sunderland, Red Alert, a local band that started in the 70's and we've got tickets booked for Cockney Rejects in Islington and Cocksparrer in Barnsley of all places.

Interesting you should say this about Dylan, I love his albums and I appreciate that he’s never been a stand out live performer but when I saw him this was my experience too. The gig was a bit dull and in truth I’ve had more fun watching local talent at acoustic night…each to their own I guess.

I've read nothing but bad feedback of Bob Dylan being awful live. One of the best reviews was that he played all the songs in a different key to what they were written in so they sounded like completely different tunes, absolutely baffling the crowd.

I'm a fairly recent fan of Bob Dylan. The Hurricane is one of my top ten tunes of all time, but I would never ever go see him live based on reports.

GyinScuntland's post just reminded me of a UK Subs gig at the Corporation in Sheffield a few years ago. I remember grinning all the way through it. They played the Another Kind of Blues album right through. Fantastic, esp considering their age!

And I was at that Sabbath gig too. A brilliant night.

Charlie Harper must be about 90 now. He looked about 60 odd when they were at their height in the late 70's, early 80's.

Saw him a few weeks ago at the truncated Rebellion one dayer, rebranded HITS 25 as a nod to the original Holidays In The Sun.
Despite his age he owned the stage that night and belting out Warhead brought the house down.
