Off Topic Gigs, Concert and Live Music

proper music - saw their latest incarnation in Bethesda just over a week ago

 

Watched and enjoyed last weeks Sex Pistols and Public Image documentaries on Sky Arts.

 

Sydney - the only city in the world where fans sat down quietly and calmly in their seats for a whole Oasis concert.

 

probably all on their phones having pedantic arguments with random strangers on an internet chat room…….

 

You know some of you want to...

 

Now then now then

 

been there, done that - used to work as glass collector in Romeos and remember them being on when I was working - someone said or did something to the lead singer who booted the guy in the head from the stage - only in Hull

 

Keith Richard’s booted somebody in the head from the stage in Blackpool back in 1964. Stones were always in front. I remember the uproar from the oldies aka parents which of course made us like them more. Had seen the Stones two weeks before at Brid Spa. Would love to see a longer clip of this as was stood about 6 foot from the stage and see if I could spot myself.

JULY 24 1964
A riot broke out during The Rolling Stones gig at The Empress Ballroom in Blackpool, Lancashire, after Keith Richards kicked a yob in the mouth who was spitting at the group. Two policemen and 30 fans were injured and the damage was estimated at over £4,000. The Rolling Stones were then banned from playing in Blackpool for forty-four years, (until the ban was lifted).”
