Hi and welcome to my new Pete's Picks 7000 blog. Hopefully here you will be able to search for your favourite band videos easier than on the Pete's Picks facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/petercharlesmacphersonpicks?ref=hl

And also what I'll do here is sort the videos and photos into each band as they played on the night, rather than the random posts dropping on FB. Let's see how it goes.
