apparently it was a popular venue where the largest swimming pool was covered in planking to accommodate the band & audience....I kid you not!
Wembley Arena used to be the Empire Pool; I don't know if the pool has just been covered or filled in but the building was granted Grade II listed status in 1976. I saw the Grateful Dead and Wings there. I also saw Yes and Pink Floyd at Earls Court which also had a pool that could be covered (so the London motor show used to be on top of the pool and the covers were removed for the London Boat Show.

I am a huge fan of bands that have a real band. Like instruments like Sax's, Horns, Strings, multiple key boards. I was a musician and I appreciate how a song is produced and I hate one beat shit heards like the Ramones.
This concert if from Electric Light Orchestra. See if you can appreciate the arrangements the time changes and the key changes within ineach song, See if you can pick out every instrument being played in the songs. Music must be concentrated on to a huge degree to appreciate all that is happening in the song. Some people don't have the ear to enjoy them.

Love them or hate them, they are a talented bunch.


Also, decided to dip my toe in the waters of early Genesis (Gabriel). Digging it so far:
