Tickets c/o Pat Nallan
In the 60s & 70s Hull City Hall, as is borne out by the above photo, played host to anyone who was anyone. In 1970 The Who tore the roof off the place - the very night after recording what would become Live At Leeds. Roger Daltrey has always said that Hull was the better night of the two. But, fearing they'd lost John Entwhistle's bass part, the band ditched the recording - leaving The Who Live At Hull languishing forty years before it saw the light of day. Damn you Leeds.
That is a ticket stub collection from the gods, reflecting the finest period in British music. I was just too young to be a gig-goer in those days (my first was in '74), so I'm green with envy.
ReplyDeleteAnd then Mick Ronson - can't forget Ronno
ReplyDeleteThat's right. The Spiders weren't from Mars at all; they were from Hull.
ReplyDeleteRonson was something else indeed. Genius
