    I was there, Y&T were so good that AC/DC didn't come on for almost an hour. Two great bands.

    That's right, there were two concerts on consecutive nights and I went to both. the day after the first one we were having a pint in The Gresham and I recognized the Y and T roadies and asked them were AC/DC also staying there? they said no, but try Jurys. So I get the yellow pages and ring Jurys and say that i'm Y and T's manager and want to speak to Brian Johnston...…. few minutes later Johnno comes on the phone, I apologize, tell him that i'm only a fan and have a great laugh with him for 10 mins, a really really sound lad.

    I saw Handle in Fishamble Street in April 1742 I think it was. He was debuting his Messiah classic that night. Great gig!

    Honestly, I wouldn't know. I had Crossover but wasn't big into them. I went cause my mates were going! I was hammered but I remember a fair bit now that I think of it! I remember them playing Suit and Tie Guy and 5 Year Plan, doing my first stage dive, doing another and landing square on my head, the smell of sweat and dry ice and eating my first Kebab on the bus home, most of it ended up all over my face! :D Good times. :)

    I was at that too!! Used to have long hair, shaved it a few days before. Got horrifically sunburnt on my scalp so it oozed straw coloured fluid for days. I regretted nothing.

    Amazing. It's a very small venue but his onstage presence and the power of his voice and his raw rhythm and blues sound made for a fantastic live experience. I saw Geno Washington & The Ram Jam Band there too.

    From around that time in Camden...


    Marriott was one of the best singers ever..
