Impressive list! AC/DC with Bon Scott - the ultimate live band. I saw them in 82 and they were brilliant but with Bon they would have been even better.

That's weird as I was in Munich on Tuesday and saw Norman and couple of Band Members in an Italian Restaurant just near Hansapark.

I'm always glad l saw Bad News when they toured in the 80s (?) Ill always remember it as a fun show, a cross between actual live music, and comedy theatre. To have seen the Comic Strip members was a thrill, and l even wore the tour shirt for a long time afterwards

I saw Bad News at Reading Fest 87 - even Brian May joined them for Bohemian Rhapsody! (This pre-dated Wayne's World).
All this talk of bands we have seen has started me compiling all the bands I have seen (with a little help from the t'internet to jog my memory). So far I have seen bands with names starting with every letter of the alphabet- except "X". I certainly didn't see Xray Spex or XTC, but I need to check my old tickets to see if I saw Xmal Deutschland- who potentially played with Crazyhead in 87. Otherwise, I need to search for a current band beginning with X just to complete the full house!
