Can’t remember much about this one (freshers week, I was probably very very drunk) apart from it being loud, great and hotter than hell. Sweated buckets!

One of the first gigs I ever saw and what a beauty on their ‘Wind And Wuthering’ tour! I had recently become a massive Genesis fan and this was too good to miss in what turned out to be the last tour with Steve Hackett and the last tour before Genesis turned, well …. a bit ‘less good’!

So many great songs, many from ‘Wind And Wuthering’ and ‘Trick Of The Tail’ but lots of other classics. I can’t recall much detail, but I remember being stunned by the scale and ambition of the whole performance … ‘That’s how it should be done!’ I remember thinking. Magic.

See setlist below. On this day they played two full two hour shows, early and late … can you believe that!! I was at the late one and the almost full audio bootleg recording above starts during the 3rd song and misses the encores, but the one below from the early show goes from 2nd song and includes encores!! Also below a couple of videos from the same tour.

1975 10cc Tour Programme Cover Pic

My first EVER gig when I was 14 !  10cc were the first band I really got into after their fantastic ‘Sheet Music’ album. When ‘The Original Soundtrack’ album tour came up I just had to scrape the money for a ticket and my cousin Carole so kindly agreed to take me along.  Imagine my disappointment when I heard they had cancelled for some reason I can’t remember 😦  But they re-arranged and we were there!

I can’t remember too much apart from being blown away and realising that I wanted more rock music and wanted to be on the stage doing that ! ‘One Night In Paris’ was the Orginal Soundtrack tour de force and I do remember that being spectacular.  My favourite band at their absolute best.  Superb.

No live video from that tour but the audio recording below is perfect!
