Suzi Quatro 1978 at Gloucester Leisure Centre

On that occasion, I had to escape from an adolescent unit I was resident at early 78

Every other week I'd would run away

So the alternative weeks I would only be allowed to wear pyjama's to stop me escaping

So Suzi was at Gloucester Leisure Centre; a Friday night, when I was wearing pyjama's

So enter Elaine; she lent me a pair of her jeans and a Black Sabbath tee shirt lol

Elaine & I left by the fire door, leaving a lolly stick stuck in the door, so we could get back in midnight lol

Midnight we returned but some fkr had locked the door

So we had to ring the bell on the front door

The night guy let us in

In the morning, as happened every morning, we had our therapy group

Naturally they picked on Elaine & I

The sister nurse asked us did we think it was acceptable to go out without permission?

We said yes it was acceptable lol

Sister asked us why we thought it was acceptable

"Do we look like we give a fk? We don't" lol

I'm sure Elaine & I were a headache for staff lol

It was to see a band called "Earth", at a youth club in Workington, called Bankands. It would be around 1969 or 1970. They were so good that they were booked again, but they had changed their name some 6 weeks later when they returned, their new name? "Black Sabbath", the rest as they say is history.

Great to listen to on headphones in the dark...

Absolutely! No distractions just you and the music in the moment, so many people these days listen to albums on a smartphone whilst perhaps reading a book..unthinkable!!

How could i leave out made in japan, this album set the standard in 1972, recently bought the "uncut" version which included black night and lucille, Gillan was simply the greatest rock vocalist around during this period and Blackmore was simply on fire on this album

Re: The First Live Gig You Went To??

It was either Hawkwind or Saxon in something like 1980.

It was when I was in my 20's as my parents never gave me money for such things and it wasn't until I was working and had transport that I could go to gigs.
