I booed a crap warm-up band
Went to see Little Richard play at the Alhambra, Bradford, in the early 60's. Wanted to hear "Good Golly Miss Molly" etc.

There was a really uninteresting warm-up band, who couldn't raise anyone's enthusiasm. I and most of the audience booed them in the hope they'd go off early, so we could see the Man Who Really Knew How to Do Rock.

They were the Rolling Stones.

I'd give one of my bollocks to have seen Little Richard back then.

You wouldn't go to Bradford though, surely?

Not joking, am ancient
Was a student at Leeds Uni back in the day, also saw some "before they were famous" bands in the Student's Union on Saturday nights, for instance, the Yardbirds, tho I don't especially remember the guitarist.
