OFF: Drummers

[ejobson]

Agreed, Simon was my favourite too. I am sure Ginger was a better drummer
technically, but not for Hawkwind.

What about people's favourite concerts Top 3 or 5. In my limited experience
mine would be (in no particular order)

London Lyceum   13.7.80 Classic '79 line up
London Rainbow  18.12.81        Great party atmosphere plus Bob and Nik
London Brixton  22.10.00        One off Hawkestra
Stonehenge              21.6.84 Last time for the event proper
Elec Ballroom   28.12.79        My first concert

I'd be interested in anyone's favourites and reasons why for concerts in the
early and mid 70's. Did anyone see them in 1971 or earlier, would love to
hear the details as I was definately born 10 years too late.

Eddie.
