Gigs. Top Trumps

[COYBL25]

I ain't got one anymore mate and it's something I keep meaning to purchase as well. If we win tonight and I've had a few scoops I'll see if I can find the live gig and post it here mate

Have a look for another mad gig they did called " Shine So Hard "

It was outside a cave in the Peak District in a forest.

It was inbetween the Crocodiles and Porcupine albums.

There's a live ep of this gig too ( never went, but the ep is amazing )

Pretty sure they transferred both onto DVD ?

I've seen Kate Rusby 8/9 times, I think she's great but I wish she'd cut out the "hey we're all little folkies in a club somewhere"

I liked her in her early days. Probably still do, but it hot to the point where here warbly voice got a bit too much like Larry the lamb for my tastes!

Saw AC/DC in a nightclub (Newcastle Mayfair) supported by Def Leppard.

I saw Shakin Stevens by mistake at Blackpool Winter Gardens.

I saw him by mIstake at the Academy in Liverpool.

Can't remember the gig I went to see, but he was on in a smaller hall in the same building and I walked in by mistake.

I'd wager that his fans featured heavily in the Yew Tree enquiry

 

[No Alla Violenza]

A few that spring to mind:

Oasis at The Lomax.
Faith No More downstairs at the Royal Court.
Nirvana at Liverpool Poly.

Saw Deep Purple and Hot Chocolate before they were big at Diamond Lil's (5 shillings) one Friday night on a trip to see the lights...ended up in the biggest bar fight ever between the 2 lots of admirers.

Went to The Mardi in Mt Pleasant a lot and saw all the big (and small but good) US soul/tamla names...this led to me looking up stuff and I found this -

This must've been the ultimate gig

From John Oppy - former doorman;

Back in the sixties I remember going the Blue Angel with Jim Ireland to a Spanish night I wont go in for the reason why he had this Spanish night there where all sorts celebs of the day like the blue jeans, Peter Noone out of hermans hermits, that girl who sang about her dead boy friend TERRY, on stage down stairs in the cellar, Cilla's mum, Mrs White. The reason I am telling you this story is to find out if any one else went there that night ,THE NIGHT OF THE BULLFIGHT!!! when I tell the tale of that night I get some funny looks, but I remember ALAN WILLIAMS ushering us down stairs and he looked quite smart when he came down white shirt etc then he open the fire door and in walked or should I say waddled a full grown BULLOCK COVERED IN SH*T which had people scrambling to get out of the way and Alan Williams up the other end of the cellar waving a red towel the bull looked quite confused but waddled passed Alan W and in the process brushed against Alan W white shirt and cover him in sh*t and when he turned round it covered the other side as well and as he stood to take bow all the sh*t just sort curled off him and flopped on to the floor, what a great night.

A few faves of mine are:
Elton John at Wembley supported by the Beach Boys, the Eagles, Joe Walsh and Chaka Khan.
Genesis at Knebworth mid 70's
Led Zeppelin at Knebworth, 1978 I think it was.
Black Sabbath with Ozzy, I was deaf for a week after that one.
Hawkwind at the Liverpool empire.
Limp Bizkit at Wembley Arena, they were surprisingly good live.
Audioslave at Astoria London, their 2nd ever gig I believe.
Jimmy eat world at Download, such an awesome band.
The Jam I saw them loads but the Paris gig was memorable in so many ways, mainly the riots after, not sure what kicked it all off but it was a bit scary.
Iggy Pop at Friars in Aylesbury.
A perfect Circle at Birmingham, a rare appearance from them.
Tool at Brixton, an equally rare gig.
