You know , at the time ,when a lot of my mates were into them I never really liked Queen but I ended up seeing them play at some festival and must say, they were excellent live. Was fortunate enough to go to the original Live Aid where they were easily best band there. Used to go to a lot of gigs , sadly, with work and little enough time for family been a while now. Ones I'd loved to have seen: Beatles, Doors,Hendrix,Cream and I really regret not having been able to see The Jam or Oasis, Would love to go to Buddy Guys blues club in Chicago too.

I saw one  of their first gigs, they were warm up for someone. must have been six people there and we all wanted to knock Liam out for being a tosser, they were pants then and still are now.

I did catch The Who twice,Page and Plant, Crosby stills and nash, Aerosmith, Nirvana, Beastie Boys, to name but a few-The Who rocked the hardest though!!!!!

She isnt so much a fan as obsessed,she reckons she is going to graceland either this summer or next,I told her to send me a postcard.(although I do quite fancy the blues clubs on Beale street in Memphis. ::) ::)

Albitz,
Have similar problem. My mrs is a bit of an Elvis fan too and whilst I reckon his early Sun stuff (and around his 68 special) was good , much of the Sixties with all those crap movies and stuff is just rubbish. Same with the "fat Elvis" Las Vegas period . Read bits of "Last train to Memphis/ Careless Love" and all very drugged up and sad. Like you, would fancy Beale street and BBKings club, but the other half cant stand Blues guitar! Some people have know taste :y
