Without doubt the finest guitar player around.

Absolutely the best
booked to see him in Newark in July, 88 quid well spent

Mott the Hoople 1974 @ Leeds Town Hall (Support was Queen)

Limehouse Lizzy @ Holmfirth Picturedrome, the nearest thing you'll ever get to the great Thin Lizzy

I've quite a range in my gigs.

U2 at Roundhay Park in the rain.
Bon Jovi and Nickleback at Etiad
Darkness and Moby supporting Robbie Williams at Knebworth
Stereophonics in Sheffield

I've also seen 2 of the best jazz big bands in the world in Buddy Rich and Louie Bellson.

I've seen 2 country bands recently in Dixie Chicks (they could surprisingly really rock it) and Lady Antebellum who were outstanding.

Big regret that I was due to go see Queen live in the 80s but we all fell out with each other and didn't go.

And as they technically called themselves a band I've seen the Spice Girls, S Club 7 and Bros.
The first 2 were pretty good but I can't unsee what I saw at Bros..... Im still in therapy.

He must be in his 70s now ?

Not necessarily in this order:

Led Zep at Knebworth
Springteen at the Arena Leeds
10cc for sound quality at Sheffield
Jethro Tull at Nostell
Gary Moore at O2 Leeds
Stones at Roundhay
U2 at Elland Road
Alex Harvey, probably his best was at Top Rank Doncaster
Be Bop Deluxe - Minsthorpe High School!
The Faces in the old tram shed in Leeds
