For me it was definitely an epiphany; Saturday 16th November 1968 and a party at a friends house had fizzled out so we stuck on BBC2 before his parents got home.

There we saw The Nice on Colour Me...

Not having visited this board for over a week nearly caused me to miss this; only when I scrolled down to an Amazon UK review of Wuthering Nights last night did I spot a comment about the orchestral...

Living in Worcestershire, Robert Plant can occasionally be seen at gigs in the Midlands.
The last time I saw him was a couple of years ago quietly standing at the back of the room to see Terry Reid...

Well that just puts the icing on the cake for me.

I've toyed with the idea of getting a ticket for two months, and have tried to cajole several friends to join me, to no avail. I finally gave in...

There are so many prog artists that I do like, it doesn't worry me that there are a marked few who have pretty much never floated my boat.

But scanning back through five pages of posts here, I'll...

Mad Love's Coming - Golden Earring

When searching for an image of a Victorian lamplighter, I came across that wonderful character Lampwick. Regret to say, give me a flat cap and I'm not dissimilar!

Well these 60+ years' old ears are pretty shot from listening to both recorded and live music for so many years, so I'll never pretend to be an expert on the sonic qualities of vinyl vs CD.
However,...

Ordered the vinyl version last night, to add to The Mountain which I also have in that format.
I did not hesitate after reading the generally positive feedback here.

I shall be at the Robin, full of anticipation as I usually am when seeing bands for the first time. Go ahead and knock my socks off!

I was at the Robin last Monday, 7th, and have to agree that it was excellent!
The two new guys fitted in very well, and I was particularly impressed by the rendition of The Lamia. Would have liked...

My Friend Jack - The Smoke

Chappo put together this Family line-up back in 2013 I believe. Gigs have been just a few at a time since. I've dug out my ticket from the Leicester O2 Academy gig in January 2014, and it cost £35. I...

I follow Charlie O'Mara on Twitter, (and so do 1,557 other people) and he'll occasionally get enthusiastic over a new release, but we also have to share his allegiance to Arsenal FC.

I too miss...

Followed immediately by Totally 60's Psychedelic Rock at the BBC.

I'm writing from England, but have always considered myself British rather than English, and it is a curious feeeling that the United Kingdom may soon no longer be United.

It's perfectly true that...

It's a no-brainer for me too. Having bought Nine Lives last year, I too caught them with Touchstone, and thought they blew them off stage. So I stocked up on all their previous releases and have been...

Bought my tickets for Birmingham Symphony Hall as soon as the Box Office opened to general sales this morning; viewing the available seats now at 5pm at least 60% of the stalls are sold and about 50%...

I was at the Robin last night, and I have to say that the VHB blew Touchstone off the stage.

Now I've seen Touchstone on a number of occasions, and have most of their albums, so no doubt without...

To bring this thread back on track Lampy will give you his observations of SH and his band at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham last night.

Now I wouldn't be British if I didn't have a little gripe...

Almost agree with you, but I'd say March through to May and September through to November. And it's more like gig pile-up time. So I suppose that highlights the Winter months of December/January and...

This takes me back to 1971/72 when Richard Branson's fledgeling Virgin Records started advertising regularly in Melody Maker and NME. They would list swathes of albums at attractive prices, which was...

Not yet; will be seeing tomorrow at the Robin.
