One of the many fans queuing talked of a concert in bygone days&nbsp;stating&nbsp;a journey of four and a half hours on a Honda 50 to see him play in 1981. Another remarked on how a queue of two and a half hours into a dance hall for a Mainliners gig had been the usual thing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This photo has always been special to me, but even more so this morning as I woke to the sad news of Big Tom&#39;s passing.
