I saw Simon & Garfunkel, The Association and The Doors, inclusive of the long version of Light My Fire. Also Bob Hope, if he counts, 2 years in a row over here in Thailand. Pete

Shadows (with Cliff twice - without him many times,) Stones, Quo, Springsteen, Everly Brothers, The Who, Hollies, Mungo Jerry, Rod Stewart, Manfred Mann - with or without the Earth Band. Paul Jones several times on his own. Cleo Laine and John Dankworth.
Sadly still missing from the list is Fleetwood Mac. But one of the best - and not a 'group' - was Eartha Kitt for sheer stage presence.

Chuck Berry, Satchmo, Everley Brothers, Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Gary? Lee Hooker, Billy Fury, Beetles, The Big Three, Swinging blue jeans, Gene Vincent, Cilla Black, Cliff and the Shadows (with my Grandma), Tommy Steel, Jethrow Tull, Cat Stevens, Elton John, Pink Floyd (5 times I was one of their followers), Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Shirley Bassey, Bryan Ferry, Tom Jones, Genesis, Sex Pistols, Eric Clapton, Bluesbreakers, Cream, Led Zepplin, Queen with Freddie, Digweed and Sasha, Slade, Steve Harley, The Who and many more.

Favourites? Two many to mention but those that shone out were Shirley Bassey, Queen, The Who and Stones for stage performance but my all time favourite are Clapton and Pink Floyd.

Yes, in my youth I biked it to many venues instead of studying. A real rebel without a cause as it were but as the saying goes "If music be the food of love, play on"
