As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood." -
Girl I knew who went to Manchester Uni claimed that she was in a club one night & MH sent his minder over to let her know he wanted to sleep with her. She turned him down & he was not happy.Originally posted by Archangel View Post
I'm prepared to give old Mick the benefit of the doubt on that one as I've heard a variation of the same story from someone else so I suspect it's a bit of an urban myth.
Anyhow, whatever. I've just realised that I saw Earth, Wind and Fire in Pistoia around 1984 so that was my first big gig.
They were pretty groovy too

Joy Division Bolton Institute of Higher Education 78 or 79...
I was looking after the bar to be fair, gig was in the canteen (refrectory)...
First 'big' gig was Rush I think, went deaf in one ear.
Also had a ticket for Kate Bush Liverpool Tour of Life but my mum wouldn't let me go cos I had no guaranteed journey home. My biggest regret, not long after that I was kipping in Stevenson Square over night after gigs in Manchester, U2, SLF, REM, early eighties, never got bummed...Comment
