Yanto's new avatar has brought back a few memories for Ben, Shim and myself . . . so its possibly time for a trip down memory lane to think about those greatest gigs!
If you're easily bored - look away now.
Donington 1983 - Monsters of Rock !
Dio - first and only time I witnessed rock's greatest voice
Diamond Head
Twisted f**kin' Sister - silenced a few critics with shock, awe and eyeliner
ZZ Top - they were veterans back then an they're still avin it. I remember their Eliminator swinging over the crowd suspended off a helicopter
Meatloaf - again, still going - on that day necking full bottles of spirits in one
Headliners Whitesnake when Coverdale still had a voice, soul and the blues instead of selling out for hairspray and Tawny Carcrash - dualling helicopters diving overhead which would surely not be allowed these days.
Some RIPs:
Tommy Vance
Ronnie James Dio
Mel Galley
Jon Lord
Cozy Powell
Coverdale's soul
