After my first gig in the summer of 1972, I was definitely hooked so what better way than to take in T Rex arch rivals Slade. From what I remember it was a pretty good gig, opening with Suzi Quatro then on to Thin Lizzy with Eric Bell on guitar before Slade stomped on to do an 'all the hits' gig.
The final gig of 1972 was a real classic. Hawkwind the Space Ritual Tour (note the typo's on both tickets) Lemmy was still with them and we were witness to Stacia's naked dancing, what more could a 14 year old want!
The first few rows of the City Hall had scented joss sticks placed on them and as the night progressed the place filled up with the heady aroma of patchouli and err... something not quite legal!
The set list would be the same as the live album released in 1973, The Space Ritual Live, one of the best live albums ever!
I find it a bit odd to hear Master of the Universe used in a car advert these days!
