Steady, my old flatmate played with them. Actually, go ahead and laugh. I'm old so I have a few faves: Thin Lizzy - Glasgow Apollo ACDC - Glasgow Apollo The Tubes - Playhouse, Edinburgh Talking Heads - Playhouse, Edinburgh Elvis Costello - Regal Suite, West Calder Bruce Springsteen - Playhouse, Edinburgh Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul - The Niteclub, Edinburgh The Waterboys - Glasgow Barrowlands Jellyfish - The Venue, Edinburgh Bruce Springsteen acoustic tour - Playhouse, Edinburgh Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - Humphreys, San Diego Little Feat - Avila Beach, California
I've seen Keane at Thetford forest (our neck of the woods, pardon the pun) which was really special. Very strange atmosphere for a gig but it worked really well, their frontman is a natural showman, and they got the crowd going well.
No live sacrifices on NOT606 please How can you like that ****e? Just gurning ****s barking out pish. I'd rather play trick or treat with my own baws and a candle
Stereophonics at the Morfa in Swansea just when they were up and coming, one their first big gigs - just one of those days when everything was right - weather, atmosphere, company. You can get it on DVD, well worth a look if you like 'em. Loved every Ian Brown gig I've been to. Took a younger mate who'd never heard of the Roses and thought Liam was a god, just to show him that he's just a facsimile of ther true original. U2 '87 on the Joshua Tree tour were immense, saw them few years later they were ****e (The tour with all the trabants and him 'phoning' world leaders live on stage.) Green Day always put on an awesome show. Radiohead likewise. Radiohead 2 years ago an Old Trafford cricket ground was great. '79 was a good year - saw The Specials and The Clash when they were vital. If you ever get a chance to see the Stones, don't be put off by their age - they can still do it in spectacular syle.
Pere Ubu - riverside (old venue in Newcastle not the stadium in the dump) the Stranglers - city hall Punishment of luxury - the bridge (pub) The Clash - mayfair Motorhead - spennymoor the Damned - durham to many to mention
I was lucky enough to see AC/DC with Bon Scott, feel really old now, I would say it was round about 1976 and I was in my last year at school. I went with a group of mates to Newcastle City Hall to see Black Sabbath, soon as they finished we had to leg it over to "The Mayfair" as AC/DC were playing. What a night, it was great. Friday night at the Mayfair was known as hippy night? Also saw Judas Priest there, but memories are blurring, not quite sure about dates. I don't think I've seen anyone who I wouldn't want to admit to but to add to my list Dr Feelgood, Bruce Springstien (4 times) Rod Stewart (3 times) Wishbone Ash, but Danniel O'donnel, Oh Dear.
either the whites stripes at ali pali. They put on a hell of a show and never have a set list. any one who has gone to see them will agree they are the best but its a shame they split. Rage against the Machine at Download, got damn that was fricken mental! I was tottaly in the zone that night even though some guys got killed in the mosh pit =/ or the pixies at brixton. I was too young the first time round but a mate of my dads gave me one of their cds when i first started to learn guitar and i was hooked. They are my idols now and when they reformed I just had to go!!
That would have worked better if you'd said.,,,"If Take That we're playing in my garden I'd shut the blinds" !
