Old Sod's Army-Top of the Pops

[bog]

Having seen the first ever TOTP I wondered what other's is their most memorable moment on the show? Mine will always be Jimi Hendrix's first appearance playing Hey Joe. That guitar solo was just sensational.   :Haynes The Maestro:

Mine's seeing Slade perform `Coz I Luv You' for the first time.

Impossible to top that bog, but this is one I remember catching and really liking-The Pogues and The Dubliners

I liked Slade Ray, you always got your monies worth with them. Get Down and Get With it stays with me also.

I remember that. A guy came rushing into my dorm room and yelled, "Hey, come check this out. There's a crazy Jamaican dude playing the guitar with his teeth."

I remember seeing the Sparks on there. This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Two of Us". It was a real "WTF" moment, even though that acronym had yet to be invented.

I liked every one of Pan's People -- individually and collectively.

Debbie Harry just as I reached puberty....

For the life of me I can't remember what she was singing but the image has stayed with me

She debuted on TOTP doing Denis wearing a rust coloured shirt and similarly coloured thigh length boots. All we talked about at school the next day.

I also remember seeing Cream for the first time -- and this was when they weren't all that in England, before their tour in America made them world wide stars. They did "I Feel Free" dressed in Medieval costumes. G. Baker had daggers for drum sticks.

Rod Stewart and the Faces signing Maggie May 1971
They were half drunk and playing football half way through the song
Rod later admitted they were drinking all day and playing football with Slade in the corridors of the BBC and had tried to get into Pans Peoples changing rooms
They got John Peel to play the mandolin as well

Never liked TOTP or Hendrix, but appreciate that both were iconic.

Thin Lizzy singing whisky in the jar, I saw Phil Lynott was black and irish, and I thought I didn't know there were (m)any of them.
