Died today in 2011. Loved the way he played with so much feeling.

Never saw Gary Moore, he was supposed to headline Reading one year but he pulled out, Diamond Head came in at the last minute.

Did see Thin Lizzy in 1976 on the Johnny the Fox tour, but he wasn't with them then, Gorham and Robertson were the lead guitarists.

Eric Bell did dedicate Whisky in the Jar to the Welsh guy at the back in Finsbury Park, after I was chatting to him at the bar, wasbefore the days of selfies :)
 
I saw him live maybe 7 or 8 times starting with the Corridors of Power tour in 82 or 83 onto the later blues stuff.
A fantastic guitarist though he had a reputation for being a bit 'difficult'!
He was part of the Donington 84 bill which was a hell of a lineup but not his best performance tbf.
He really came into his own when he switched to the blues material in the early 90's, some of those concerts were the best live performances I've seen - some stunning solos.

I saw Eric Bell in the Troubadour in Port Talbot.
 
Wow is it 10 years since he ceased to exist, time goes so fast.

I saw Lena Lovich there.
 
Saw Gary Moore at St David’s Hall late 80’s when he did his blues tour. Albert Collins was with him. £10 a ticket which we all thought was steep at the time but a cracking blues gig.
