My Mis-spent Youth

[rhythmaning]

Hunting for half-forgotten photos of an old friend – and clearly long-lost, since I couldn’t find them – I came across these photos taken at gigs a while back. Over thirty years, to be precise.

I now take pictures at jazz gigs; back then, I wasn’t such a jazz fan (though I did dig up some negatives from jazz gigs, too – they’ll wait for another time!). Instead I took my camera – a large, heavy Zenit E, the first SLR I owned – to rock gigs. I thought I had more pictures of rock gigs from my teens – I only found four gigs.

These were my favourite pictures.

Motorhead, the Roundhouse, London. 1977.





Wilko Johnson’s Solid Senders (watched by Lemmy), the Marquee, London. May 1978.



Hawkwind, the Roundhouse, London. 1977.

Hawkwind! Goodness gracious. Some very nice pictures, though.

I've been listening to lots of old music. I must say, Hawkwind sound surprisingly good. Very funky, even!

Still, maybe you had to be there! Or possibly not...!
