Who was performing and was it good?

Pink Floyd at The Marlowe Theatre Canterbury just after Gilmour replaced Barrett.

Fantastic stuff performed in a haze of cannabis, highlights being Set the Controls for the heart of the Sun and Careful with that axe Eugene.

Queen at Hammersmith Odeon just after Seven Seas of Rye was a minor hit of sorts. Must have been, dunno, 1973 or something. Have to say they were damn good.
