First gig. Mott the Hoople at Leeds Town Hall in 1973. Support group was Queen.
Saw Rory Gallagher at Leeds Town Hall not long after tickets were 50p.
My brother was at that Mott The Hoople gig - he bought the first Queen album after that gig and his 9 year old little brother (me) started to listen to what would become his favourite group.
Last month I went to see the reformed Mott The Hoople play 7 excellent gigs (2 warm ups in Monmouth, 5 proper gigs in Hammersmith), their first for over 35 years - last week I met Brian May of Queen in Bradford.
On TV on Friday night (BBC2 11.35pm) is Queen's 1975 Christmas Eve concert from Hammersmith - recommended viewing
