Gigs. Top Trumps

[roydo]

Holy cow, I am so down on Eberton atm. So, to alleviate the dullness of this new version, Top Trumps, Gigs you have been to.

Could be the Grail, (Beatles for example), an historic one, (Say Marley in London), a last one, a first one, a rare one, (Nirvana say).

Get the idea?

Me neither.

Anyrate, my Top Trumps would be.

Brian Johnsons FURST UK gig with AC/DC.
Dylan at Wembley Stadium, with Clapton.
The Cult on their Love tour.

And if anyone says they saw AC/DC at the Red Lion, Hammersmith, or the Pistols at that other London pub, pics, or it never happened.

Trump me.

(please)

Oh, festivals count.

Pearl Jam at Leeds Arena.
Arcade Fire at Leeds Festival
Muse at Lancashire Cricket Ground.

Thats the point Dan, it aint a fave, (Dylan was woeful), its the Trumping.

Beatles at Shea Stadium deffo trumps AC/DC at the Colston Hall in Bristol. For example.

Big Country - Town and Country Leeds / Farewell tour ( emotional )

Libertines - Manchester Academy / just for being a brilliant night.

The Darkness - Mountford Hall - just for being bonkers and a boss night.

Big Audio Dynamite - the State / amazing venue, sound and a boss gig.

Big Country - Manchester Academy - boss gig.
