Got the work and know what the three lines should be doing, but am buggered if I can see the requisite names in straight lines. I don't submit so I shan't beat myself up. I'll just ask IntoTheBlue to explain.
I'm of exactly the age to be familiar to this, but my tastes lean rather more to the Dylan & Springsteen kind of stuff (not forgetting old Ludwig of course).

The straight lines are straghtforward, but following the instructions in the preamble to the letter (or rather, to the six letters) results in an image that is not even close to the original. A more accurate representation would breach the limitation of six cells. The finale doesn't seem all that satisfactory to me.
Turnerjmw - would that be Rick Wakeman circa Gtumpy Old Men or circe 1973 - I'll admit to looking like one of the two.
And Bobbycollins .. the names don't necessarily appear in strict crossword straight lines - but can be joined together using straight lines (a bit like the Everton defence needs right now). Saw Springsteen's final concert on his first UK tour (before stadium gigs got in the way) .. sadly he had to quit after only his sixteenth encore! Never got to see Ludwig though

I was away at the weekend so I only started this last night. Fortunately like CluelessJoe I was Derren Brown after about six clues which made life a lot easier. Nevertheless struggled with the top half and have several wordplay uncertainties which are slowly unravelling - e.g just got 2d by googling the second word and the answer - I suspect I should have known but along with the subject matter I consider myself a bit too young!
Everything fell into place beautifully with no ambiguities...off to the shops for some pencils. Well done, Rok!

That was lovely, cluelessjoe. IntoTheBlue showed me the lines - yet another DOOOOH for yours truly. Didn't help myself by overlooking one of the collaborators.
Must have been great to see him circa 1975. My only concert was Roundhay Park circa 1984 - never got to see Dylan, although he played the Liverpool Empire in 1965 - my mum wouldn't allow me to go (I was only 13).
Never got to see Ludwig either, sadly.

BC .. never saw Zim either, despite having seen most other of the biggest acts at that time (my mate was guild electrician at Exeter Uni, so we worked the lights and got into everything for free '68-70). First time I saw this Listener outfit, 1969, there can't have been more than 150 in the audience! Unheralded co-star of the Springsteen gig was Clarence Clemence on sax, a huge stage presence. Saw the Stones in Roundhay Park early 80's .. quite a nice venue, though I do have a Leeds bias.
As for Ludwig, I still have all of his albums .. stand the test of time better than most!
