There was construction going on at the stadium, so Joe Walsh wore a hard hat. Definitely the highlight of the...

Aerosmith were very good. I loved the fact that they played “Movin’ Out” from the first record. Other than Kid Rock, the rest of the “homage-paying” bill was god awful. Pink “singing” Janie’s Got a Gun? Nuff...

A magical night at a magical...

Top 20 album chart from Disc Magazine. Osibisa! Groundhogs!...

I love the first BAD record. Played in its entirety, this was a very enjoyable...

This Italian Beatles poster was stapled to the ceiling of a thrift store that was closing down. I got it for a buck. Not the most aesthetically pleasing piece of Fabs memorabilia, but a nice item for the collection...

I appreciate Carlos’ playing but would have rather watched paint dry than have been at this...

The fabulous Roger Dean logo he created for Virgin in its infancy. It was known as “The Twin Virgins”. This one is an unused iron-on decal. In 2002, I spent about 3 hours trying to carefully remove a 5′ wide graphic of the Two Virgins from a wall in the San Francisco Virgin...

I adored her first record, but none of the others have reached that level of brilliance. Just my...

One of the biggest parties that my team and I ever ran. It was for a major rebrand for Virgin Retail at the Oxford Street flagship. We had a huge space on multiple floors next door to the newly rebranded 50,000 sq foot store, so we turned it into a series of clubs and venues. Major excesses...

One of my most treasured pieces and fondest memories. This was at NARM, the retail/label convention, at a small blues venue in San Francisco. A true legend and gentleman, and a special moment for which I am...

Here’s a Yes poster I’ve had since I was 14. They look so young. I especially like Steve Howe’s funky velvet pants and Patrick Moraz’ poodle cut. The only record they put out with this line up was the fabulous (but not for the feint-hearted)...

The pig floats over the Hollywood Bowl during Waters’ Dark Side of the Moon tour. Nick Mason appeared on drums at the LA shows too. Great...

Apologies to any Blades fans, but this was the best performance ever seen at Bramhall Lane. A very happy afternoon...

He’s a genius one minute, and then a loser the next. Sadly he was the latter at this show. I’d like to bet he was tripping his brains out, but what would I...

Glover’s a great writer and undoubtedly an underrated bass player. Styx opened for Purple at this show in Brighton. I remember thinking that it may not have been the best match while watching bikers throwing glasses at...

More of the wonderful 8×10’s from the Oakland ’77 show....

We went for a pint before the show and got there in time to see the encore. Sorry...

They were a great band who did very few dates in the UK. I think I saw them in Newcastle too, but not sure. Check out Iron Age, Evolution and the live record. Over the years, they’ve toured with everyone from The Who to Maze. Good stuff...

They were on Virgin, so we did a lot of promotion for W&L. To be honest, I liked them better than Prince. Still do....
