Taking me back to the wonderful 60’s, last night Connie & I was at the Bournemouth International Convention Centre to see ‘Roy Orbison’ – now us oldies know that Roy O died in 1988 – But last night – ‘Holographic – In Dreams’ was a real blow-away – the re-incarnation was truly phenomenal – we had 2nd row seats and sound and vision truly lifelike – so much so it was somewhat surreal.
A full medley of the Big ‘O’s hit from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s with a song from the Travelling Wilbury’s.
Of course the nostalgia takes me back when I saw Roy Orbison at the Embassy Theatre in or around 1965 – All groups of the 60’s played city venues and The Beatles played twice in Peterborough and ‘almost’ came to Whittlesey had the date not clashed with another event at Ramsey.
There was The ‘Palais’ and The Corn Exchange where other ‘live’
music events took place, and Peter Baxter was a regular at these venues and has a great memory for these events.
Roy G – In 1965 Roy O – 1965 Roy G – Last Night !!
