Favourite gigs from my back catalogue:

Dr. Feelgood at Brighton Poly circa '83, Lee Brilleaux did his very best to make a rather souless venue come alive.

Led Zep at Earls Court '75, very loud and absolutely magnificent.

U2 at the Top Rank Suite circa '82.

The Who at Charlton '77 (louder!)

Springsteen at Brighton Centre '80. Mega gig and a 3 hour feat of endurance by The Boss.
