Okay, let's correct the obvious omission -
YouTube - Dr. Feelgood - Roxette

and this one
YouTube - Wilko Johnson guitar method

where the great man explains his unique guitar style. Also features Dierdre Cartwright (sigh) of "Painted Lady". Never missed their gigs down the 'Brewers in Clapham or The Merton Parkas either.

Crikey Bats; you`ve just taken me right back to my teens too. I thought I was the only P.F.M. fan in the world at the time, my mates couldn`t get into them no matter how I tried; even though we had much the same tastes, sure I read that their name was taken from the name of their favourite cake/bun shop ( funny isn`t it the crazy things you remember ). Also The Strawbs, Ah memories; saw them on their
`73 `Bursting at the Seams` tour at believe it or not...Barnsley Civic Hall; that was when you could see a concert for a couple of quid,it honestly seems like yesterday, thanks a lot Bats for this thread it`s sure brought a smile to my face with the memories.

Ignoring the dinosaur jibes of the philistine administrator (), PFM did indeed take their name from a bakery. I saw The Strawbs on that tour too ... happy days!

Good thread Batus Manus.

Whispering Bob was like a God.Tuesday nights were reserved soley to be in such distinguished company.
The Old Grey Whistle was a test bed for a lot of peripheral bands too including Nils Lofgren , Peter Frampton and of course that little known band from Dublin,
U2 where the song 'I will follow' first introduced that cutting edge guitar sound which at the time was simply jaw dropping.

Then there's also
FREE - Wishing Well
YouTube - Free - Wishing Well
and
BAD COMPANY - Feel like making love

ABBA.

A constant throughout from '74. You could mark your life's passage by some of their music.

Pavlov's Dog
Bruce Springsteen
Supercharge
Dire Straits
Racing Cars

I have seen Nils Lofgren several times .... his acoustic concerts are amazing!

YouTube - Nils Lofgren - Keith Don't Go (acoustic)

But then ... so are his electric concerts!

Most of these bands passed me by as I was going along a somewhat different road, so my 70s included seeing:

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust and Thin White Duke tours
Ella Fitzgerald
Bob Marley and the Wailers
Elvis Costello

And I remember paying 25p to see some unknown outfit in the Student's Union bar. They were called The Jam.

Back to Sabbath...the trailer for the forthcoming Iron Man features the Sabbath's mighty riff off the song of the same name.....
