‘Jeff Lynne, Richard Tandy, Bev Bevan, Hugh McDowell, Mik Kiminiski, Kelly Groucutt, with maybe Melvyn Gale and Louis Clark would be the classic lineup I'd really want to see.

Back in 1968, I took a box full of early concert programmes, books, Stones Monthlies, etc to my office to try and impress a girl I worked with. When I left the job, I left those gems behind. I regret losing them more than I regret not getting off with the girl. For me, it has always been about the music so I was content to just have a tenth generation cassette of a great concert recording beca

NME was essential reading in UK for those of us who were teenagers in the 60s and 70s. I haven’t read it for many years and shan’t be buying the new editions. I can’t get on with modern music and who needs yet another retrospective on the Stones or Led Zep or the Who. The journalists who wrote for NME and elsewhere back in the day have already published their memories and I hope that the like

Doxa, I couldn’t agree more. This stuff is so exciting and original and I enjoy it today just as much as I did when I first bought the bootlegs way back. It’s such a pity that there’s no more to come, I think we have everything from this era that was in the vault. If only we could find the Gomelsky tapes and the missing BBC recordings…..

Sad news. I still have my original vinyl copies of Split and Thank Christ for the Bomb. I saw the Groundhogs at the ‘Leeds Lungs’ gig way back. I met Tony once at a club gig, in fact we stood next to each other in the toilets and chatted about Eccentric Man, which was an early single and which I still play today. Tony and his band backed many visiting blues musicians back in the day, John Lee

“The Stones can get by very well cranking out the same old stuff over and over. They have no interest in catering for a significant portion of longtime fans. Only for a newer, younger audience of those who get their music from classic rock stations and attend concerts because its something they think is kinda cool. Also, there are some longtime fans for whom the band can do no wrong. Fans who

All through the 1960s I bought each Stones album at the time of release (all UK versions) from my local record shop and none of them were ever "factory sealed".

‘Thank heavens there's the conundrum of getting less for more from the aged performers. It's makes the decision to pay these outrageous prices a no brainer. I got just as much out of seeing Mick sing Out Of Time on YouTube as I would have seeing it live, and it was a hell of a lot cheaper. I've seen all these bands in better days, with better setlists, at extremely better prices.’

Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness still tour as ‘The Manfreds’ and play a good selection of the original band’s blues material and solo work. A really entertaining night out and they come out to meet the fans in the interval and are very approachable. They are also celebrating their 60th anniversary this year.

If travelling by train, after passing through ticket barrier turn left and walk to taxi rank at end of station concourse. Over the road is a bar called ‘Dough’ . Great place to fuel up before the gig, great vibe, beer, cocktails, food. And a taxi to the gig just outside.

I thought I would resurrect this thread because I saw Paul Jones a few days ago, playing with the Manfreds, who are also celebrating 60 years soon. Paul is still remarkable for his age - he's 80 now - and that's not patronising because the physical demands of singing and his incredible harmonica playing can't get any easier. Tom McGuinness is a little older and played with Clapton

My son-in-law runs a bar called 'Dough' over the road from the taxi rank at Lime Street railway station. Great vibe, good beer and cocktails. As others have said, Anfield is a residential area with limited facilities so best to fuel-up in the city centre before a taxi ride to the gig. The local people are amongst the friendliest you will find anywhere.
