Sweet,

And there was me thinking this conversation was going to be about cough sweets that help you breathe more easily

Struth.... I used to be able to play (at least) the intro bit from sweet child... I can't even recall whereabouts on the guitar neck it is... I really can't have played guitar now in a couple years (rum and coke? certainly by the end of that lot, I wanted a JD and coke.... hanging about in a packed hot student union bar )

I haven't visited any of those links, but if the Sweet Child you're referring to isn't this one, I ain't goin' there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OorZcOzNcgE

well... no it wasn't* that one... but, in my defense, I have seen Purple live, and they played thatone! actually, that was a brillient concert almost as good as when I saw Sabbath, at their stint at Donnington a err.... year or two back My musical tastes are all messed up.... due largely to most of the groups I really liked having existed before I was born, or when I was too young to see them live, or listen to them, whilst they were really* in their 'period' hence I have a acletic mix, taking in some more recent comers to teh musical scene...

I have the same kind of feeling about Ravel, Debussy, Purcell, Palestrina, Tallis and Hildegard of Bingen. Never got the chance to see any of them play live

Biggest missed 'seeing live', of a group I was, from young, and still am, in too, was never getting to see queen live... Never thought I'd get to see sabbath, so that was a bonus, although they didn't have Bill Ward on drums Also missed out on seeing Zappa live... and I only got to see a part line-up of teh Bonzos when I saw them... Purple were prety much complete I think Obviously so many others I'd love to have seen... Hendrix, doors, stones, Floyd etc... Mind, some of them come back time to time, but the ticket prices are so extortinate for some of them, and... well... often tehy're not quite what they were, back in 'the day', as it were I must try get to more live music though, just never seem to get round to it, and I seem to listen to so frew.... err, as in none, 'current' groups, really Mind, I could always finally* get round to going to live concerts of mediavial music, and suchlike, which I enjoy a lot, although got into quite a lot more recently Though I@ve probably far too short a concentration span to sit down, attentively for a long concert

I can lay claim to having seen Queen at the Dagenham Roundhouse, a somewhat dingy east end boozer with a function room that doubled as bingo hall during the week and haunt of many a prog band on Saturday evenings in the early 70s such as Genesis, Wishbone Ash, Stackridge, Greenslade, Hatfield and the North and possibly Curved Air. It was a regular Saturday night venue for a young Gosho In later years I made a return visit to see Billy Bragg and Ian Saville the Marxist Magician during the Save the GLC campaign. It was very strange going back there after all those years when prog had passed on and it was no longer part of 'the circuit'. I believe Sinead O'Connor was on the tube train sitting opposite me and the girlfriend.

best place I saw Queen was the Bristol Hippodrome

I'm guessing the Purple track was Child in Time - totally fantastic live. (best time I saw Purple? Mannheim Maimarktgelaende. It was my honeymoon and they were fabulous, dahling. Not that I don't like the other.

I was born in the wrong era!
