Rock-Photos
When I had the age of 16 Kiss came with their hit "I was made for loving you" - and I thought it was just great. For me it was the perfect mixture of pop and some rougher elements. The first concert I ever went to was them, with as supporting act some band called Iron Maiden. Pf. Silly name. Must be a silly band. Well, the impression they made was not exactly silly, and I've seen them several times since.
I tried making pictures every time. Some times better than others, some times with more difficulties than on other occasions. The camera I used was not exactly a small pocket size... In the end I openly took it to the entrance, they wanted to take it, I refused and said I could let it in the cloakroom. And halfway the support act, or just after it, I just exchanged my ticket for my camera, and walked in into the concert hall. Unchecked ;-)
And here are some of the results:
- KISS (Masked) 1980
- Dire Straits (1982)
- The Cure (1982)
- 22nd Reading National Rock Jazz and Blues festival (1982)
- Saxon (1983)
- Kiss Unmasked (1984)
- Saxon (1985) - Support Act: Pretty Maids
- Iron Maiden (1986)
