    Funnily enough, am just watching a Gary Moore YouTube vid thinking how lucky I was to have seen him twice. So shocked at his death.

    I saw Queen at the Playhouse in Edinburgh in 1976. Bohemian Rhapsody had just made it to #1. Most of the set was stuff from the Sheer Heart Attack album. 😆

    Good shout on Lightnin Hopkins. Pretty much any blues artist from the time. Also like to have seen Sonny Boy Williamson II and John Lee Hooker.
