Cracking band Yes " close to the edge", "tales from topographic oceans" to name but two of their classic albums

Phonics in the CIA 99, amps blew and Stuart Cable was doing drum solos for ages!

Shakin Stevens in Sophia Gardens the night before it burnt down. My mum and dad took me i was about 8 i think at the time.
I was a fan i admit when i was in infant school

no your mistaken there it did not burn down the roof collapsed due to the sheer weight of snow. And shakey wasnt the last gig we had roller skating there at the time.By the way i was also at the shakey gig me and my mates got in through the toilet window

Seeing as we're having a Yes Fest ... Cardiff Capitol 12th March 1971 for the Yes Album Tour was my first

The Beat sophia gardens 1980 great band.Anybody remember ub40 at same venue in 81? it kicked off massive inside an out skinheads an rastas teamed up and done ob and the bouncers massive riot

It pissed rain all day back in the 70s and all we could hear was this thumping boom boom boom boom coming from ninian park so we went down there climbed over the bob bank wall and found the pitch was full of hippies sat under makeshift tents

Some hippy tramp bitch slapped one of the boys (aged 14 at the time) so we had a scrap with her boyfriends.

We got ran out of it but found them later in queen street where we annoyed the holy bejeezus out of them.

Oh yeah the noisy feckers making all the boom boom noise were bob marley and his wailers........thought they were shite

The first gig i meant to got to was the stranglers at the top rank in 78.....quality...rucks all night.....llanrumney feckers causing it
