I missed out on the Stones and Tull. I might have gone to the free Stones gig in Hyde Park only I went to the Blind Faith one shortly before which was so packed that I decided against the Stones.
I agree about The Who, much better live than on record. I saw them twice at Hammersmith.
I saw the Floyd about half a dozen times between October 1969 and 1973.
The first gigs I went to were at the Starlight Ballroom in Greenford, Cream and the Jeff Beck band. Jeff Beck had a new virtually unknown vocalist called Rod Stewart!
