My first concert…I was 18 years of age.

I found myself at the foot of the stage.

Lights went low, I dashed from my seat.

And I found myself at Marc Bolan’s feet!

 

28th February, New Brighton Floral Hall.

I was hit by the dirty sound of a Les Paul!

T.Rex appeared…the audience roared.

Then Bolan let rip that famous E chord!

 

20th Century Boy, kicked off the show.

A fiery Dragon gave off a misty red glow!

The huge hits they came, one after one.

The concert ended with a superb Get It On.

 

Marc also played a beautiful acoustic set.

That memorable night…I will never forget.

I sailed back home to Liverpool on cloud 9.

That’s still my favourite concert of all time!
