Growing up in South Africa in the 70's was great.
However, due the governments race policies, none
of our favorite rock groups ever toured there. In 1973
I spent a couple of weeks in London and went to see
Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar at the
Palace Theatre, it was an unreal musical experience.
The night we left London, Focus played at the Rainbow.
Since I moved to Switzerland, I have made a point of
seeing as many of the 70's Rock Bands and Musicians
as possible. This is a list of what I've seen so far.

These are more or less in the order of how good they were.

	The 2002 "In The Flesh" concert in Zürich was the most unbelievable musical experience in my life. At the time. The 2006 concert in Hyde Park was even better. The atmosphere was fantastic, and because of all the herbal mosquito repellant being used, no mosquitos. Set the Controls for thr Heart of the Sun, The Fletcher Memorial Home, Perfect Sense 1 and 2, Incredible. To hear the album "Dark Side Of The Moon" played live is something that can never be forgotten.
	This was an incredible concert. After listening to this for over thirty years, you can imagine the feeling , hearing and seeing it played live, fantastic. Watching the wall go up in the first part and then come crashing down at the end, with the fireworks and the music. This is probably my favorite Pink Floyd Album.This could even be my number one concert, very close thing
	No one can play the guitar just like David Gilmour. What a thrill to be at the Royal Albert Hall for this concert. Tickets were sold out almost immediately and I was lucky to get these rather crappy seats. Although the view of the stage was slightly obstructed, the sound was not. On An Island in full was amazing, mind you , the best was yet to come. Arnold Layne, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Echoes, High Hopes Wish You Were Here , and more, but of course the best was Comfortably Numb, with Nick Mason on drums.
	I used to love Roxy Music, particularly the first five albums and Avalon. This concert was so good. Unfortunately Eno wasn't there, however in his place was Lucy Wilkens on violin, so... Great music.
