I remember queuing up from about 22:00 one Friday night for tickets to see Led Zeppelin at Earls Court, London. I think that would have been in 1975.I also remember the big settees with headphones.You used to be able to get bootleg albums from Gerrolls in the Merrion Centre indoor market.Scene and heard, mentioned earlier in this thread, rings a bell but I cannot recall going in.I don't think I have ever been in Crash records but it was run by a lad in my class at school (Ian De ???). Don't know if that is still the case.
