:) It's ok you don't recognise them, even being there at the time. They made some of the best rock alba ever, but apart from a huge success in Italy, Van Der Graff Generator remained fairly underground elswhere.

No, tbh, I knew of them, I just didn't really care for them too much, as we say here, it didn't float my boat.

I remember a friend dragging me to a Peter Hamill concert, but I found it absolutely awful and so, 3/4 hr in, I decided to leave when I'd had enough. Trouble was, Hamill saw me and "politely" waited while I made my way past everyone (seated like in cinema) before continuing
