Na... misunderstood me... I meant on this thread....
Aaah! Doh! Yes, I had looked back over the thread & while Nazareth got a mention I saw I hadn't put a Slade link in, you're right - very remiss of me!
You were at the NME show? Wow, that's one of their legendary ones! I was too young to travel that far then. IIRC they had a mocked up brick wall which they kicked over to walk on stage?
Their '74 tour was the 2nd time I saw them; "Slade's Crazee Nite" with a band called Beckett as support (Many years later I found a still sealed copy of the album Beckett were pushing on the tour, for all of 50p (about 33c ?)
Donnington was in '81, Reading was '80. They were offered Donnington again but Nod turned it down if they weren't top billing, which wasn't going to happen with AC/DC at their peak.
Which one is you?......
