Carla Thomas on the Empire - I didn't see that one - I went to see the Jackson 5 in the early 70s - paid top dollar for the best seats (£1.75!!!) and when they came on stage the crowd were running over the back of the seats to get to the front - ended up at the back after being trampled on - footprints all over me good flares. A hard lesson was learned about going to gigs - don't bother paying top dollar - just learn to run quicker.
I saw some great Motown acts on the Empire ; Stevie Wonder, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, the fabulous Temptations (I loved them most of all .. I couldn't believe I was actually seeing them live !)
Gladys Knight & the Pips I saw on the Southport theatre. Edwin Star at Reeces (Parker st).
