As a 14 year old Beatles fan I attended this concert in this beautiful gothic hall. My first ever live music event and 50 years on I can still remember so much detail. Boz drinking honey from a jar to soothe his sore throat/cold, Mel's raucous soloing and the imperious guitarist sat beneath his afro hairstyle ripping off some amazing riffs.
