#TicketStubWed Elton John at Wembley Arena in 1985, two days after the ticket I posted last week. Although I knew the songs, I had not realised what a brilliant piano player he is. #eltonjohn

REO Speedwagon in 1985 at Hammersmith Odeon. Brian May and John Entwhistle came on for the encore and I think Robin George was the support #reospeedwagon

#TicketStubWed Dire Straits in 1985 near the beginning of the Brothers In Arms tour. I remember it as one of the best concerts I have seen #DireStraits

#TicketStubWed Chris De Burgh supported by Al Stewart and the Bluebells in 1985. This is the year before he released Lady In Red which made him really popular and changed the makeup of his audience

Not sure why this is in the local park

#TicketStubWed Robin George at the Dominion in London in 1985 supported by Shy. Around this time he was often in the music press and his first album was good but he never quite made it to the next level. He passed away last year

#TicketStubWed Uriah Heep supported by Pallas at Hammersmith Odeon in 1985. To be honest, I cannot remember attending this show although I have a ticket and a program

Given all of the talk about American cars not selling in Japan it is interesting to see Cadillac showing off three models in Tokyo Midtown yesterday and today. They look huge compared to cars you see on the roads here

Should have said #TicketStubWed for this
#TicketStubWeb another from 1985. Phil Collins at the Royal Albert Hall on the No Jacket Required tour. Great show and managed to get some autographs of the band #PhilCollins

#TicketStubWed Meat Loaf at Hammersmith Odeon in 1985. The support were Terraplane who turned into Thunder a few years later. They must have been good because I went out the next day to buy their album

#TicketStubWed another Status Quo ticket from 1984 for what was supposed to be their final show. Also on the bill were Marillion (who were very good), Nazareth, Gary Glitter and Jason & The Scorchers

#TicketStubWed Two from Status Quo’s End Of The Road tour in 1984. This was supposed to be their last tour but, after a change of line-up, they were back in 1986 and continue to this day. No idea what the free gift in Birmingham was

#TicketStubWeb David Gilmour at Hammersmith Odeon back when they stamped the artist name and date on the back of the ticket. Support was Billy Bragg. Excellent show and it was filmed and released on video #davidgilmour

#TicketStubWed Genesis at the NEC in Birmingham in 1984. The only UK dates they did on this tour were at the NEC. Really good as I recall
