I saw Rush at Wembley Arena in 2007. I was 20 so looking around I felt pretty young! You get value for money with Rush as their songs are so long

I saw him a few years ago punting his Cds & Tapes from a tressle table in our local Shopping Mall.
Funnily enough he WAS singing Whispering Grass at the time on a portable PA, but the look on his face when I shouted 'SHUT UP' at him in my best Windsor Davis accent!!!!!

I bet if he had a pound for every time that had happened, he might've not had to sell CDs?

Rest in Peace Lofty.

The Human League 1978 supporting Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Frantic Elevators 1982 (i think - Mick Hucknall singing)

The Meteors

Orchestral Manouevres in the Dark for 90p before they had their hits!

One lot I didn't get to see and regret is Young Marble Giants. They do the odd festival now but usually its £100 a go......
