No worries, I’m feeling much better. I was confused if you were trolling or just terminally tasteless. Thanks for clarifying

More concerned over “stunning” myself. I mean, that’s what happens to fish, right?

I take it you’ve left gaps of years between gigs to allow for the possibility of support acts and/or encores at your prog. I can’t believe that the Tull gig in Adelaide in 1976 was over in time for you to make Santana in Sydney in 1979.

you reminded me Dylan, Santana and UB40, Wembley stadium, summer of 84 with my first serious girlfriend.
Bob Dylan’s band included Ian McLagan (Keyboards), Mick Taylor (Guitar)
Guests during Dylan’s set: Carlos Santana, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Chrissie Hynde
He didn’t go home to change and flew.
Meh!
Many more gigs in Adelaide and beyond, including George Benson in a vineyard in the Hunter Valley. These were just the most memorable.

Nick Cave at the O2 2017 pretty much steals it. A religious experience rather than a concert.
As @Wayward and @Kevin have said Lucinda Williams was also amazing. Seeing Black was the highlight of the set for me. Dark, dirty and vicious.
The Delines at Union Chapel a few weeks ago were amazing,
Springsteen in 2016 in Coventry - all of Born to Run plus more.
Natalie Merchant - wonderful and loves to play.
Hugh Masekala at the RFH - everyone was dancing, superb!
Regina Spektor in Bristol - my god, that piano playing.
Same for me, Prince Lovesexy Tour 1988. More tours, and aftershows, but never bettered.
Faith No More, NEC B’ham 1992
Beastie Boys, Wolves Civic 1995
Red Hot Chili Peppers, B’ham Hummingbird 1991 (support Henry Rollins incredible)
Stevie Wonder, NIA B’ham 2008
John Grant, Stratford-upon-Avon RSC 2014 (venue made it)
Jonathan Wilson, Hare and Hounds B’ham 2019 (acoustic one-man show)
