Much like you, John! My first was in 1957. Ones that stick in my mind are on the front row in the Free Trade Hall, Manchester for the Basie band, not long after they recorded The Atomic Mr Basie and front row again at Ronnie Scott's for the Horace Silver Quintet with the Brecker brothers and Billy Cobham.
