Saw them in 1975 at uni just as Out of the Blue was about to break, so they were doing uni/college venues. Totally brilliant, especially one of the cello players doing a solo of "Flight of the Bumble Bee" and a rip-roaring version of Roll over Beethoven as an encore.
Talking of "older" bands, got tickets for the Eagles next June at Wembley and seeing Steve Hackett on Wednesday at the Regent doing a load of old Genesis stuff complete with orchestra.

You'll lurve Hackett. His early Genesis takes are brilliant, his solo stuff arguably even better.
Pray silence please for the Electric Light Orchestra..
I’ve had some pretty late night sessions myself. Yeah. In 1976, I saw ELO at the Birmingham NEC. I was there shouting with everyone else “Come back on, ELO, and carry on playing"
