Apparently this was one of those top 10 gigs ever - I just remembered it being fecking soaking for 3 days, took for ever to get there and the site was the size of a small town to navigate past 100k people always going into the opposite direction... They were quite good
One of the really great vfm bands that I ever saw - they were pretty good without Wilko but, with him - they were ****in' awesome ...
Saw meat loaf a dozen times between 1994 and 2016. Always a great band and show but you had to get him at the start of a tour to get the very best vocal performance. He struggled more as he aged. Another band I've seen dozens of times since the 90s are the Wildhearts. Last couple of years they've been heavier, more aggressive and with a lot more attitude than the 90s and 00s - probably because they're now (mostly) off the crack. Great band though. Catch 'em in Hull in April.
