Hi Stewart,
I was there and Jean also posted to say she was as well from the discussion thread Psychomodo/ Human Menagerie !!!
Couldn't remember the date myself, but Jimbo the Oracle for all things Harley clarified the date for me. The Jim below is a different Jim to Jimbo.
From the discussion thread of Psychomodo/ Human Menagerie I posted:
With respect to the gig at the Wembley Empire Pool in 1976:
This was my first Steve Harley concert. I had the first row of seats behind a metal barrier after the first block of 10 or 12 rows. Fantastic concert and was there with my mate Jim. When the encore came the crowd rushed the front, so it was now or never !!! Vaulted the metal barriers, with bouncers just missing grabbing us to join the sweating, heaving sea of fans some three of four rows back. Emotional, tears in my eyes, excited and standing on the chairs we sang (with Jean!!!) for all it was worth... 'OH DEAR, LOOK WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO THE BLUES, BLUES, BLUES !!! again and again and again. Even after Mr. Harley left the stage. Magic.....and I'm close to tears again !!!
Can't wait for Birmingham Symphony Hall and see you all there!!!
