All the Cardiff Capitol Theatre gigs from 1957 - 1977

[editor]

I'm loving this listing of acts who performed at the legendary (and much missed) Cardiff Capitol Theatre, starting from Count Basie in 1957 to the final gig in Dec 1977 with Thin Lizzy (and what a gig that was!).

That was the gig where I got in on my hand-drawn ticket!

Blagging Lizzy, a forged ticket for Thin Lizzy at the Cardiff Capitol, December 8th, 1977 and youthful memories of ELP and Roxy Music

Looking through that list, I remember seeing a loads of the acts including the mighty Roxy Music, Deep Purple, Yes, Family, Quo, Supertramp and Wings.

It was the last date on their December 1965 tour but they did the NME Poll-Winners Concert the following May
