Bob Dylan - Did 4 songs
Radiohead this year in Belgium - 20 minutes of feedback and slow jamming between songs
Memphis Bend in Newport college, circa 1973, boring as ****
Leo Sayer, just as he broke through.
He was already booked at my uni, tried to get out of it but couldn't.
Did 20 minutes.
**** must have been boring for it to stick badly in your memory for 40+ years hahaOriginally Posted by bobh
Weren't exactly a gig but it was a rave in the old empty house/home next to the Captain's Wife in Sully. Big old fight broke out to strobe effect. Quite a sight. Could have been good otherwise.
was that in 1991 brother ?
I like Jools Holland and his R'n B Orchestra and I've seen them a number of times in different venues. But one year he knocked out a C&W CD and featured songs from this in the set. The guest on the show was Lulu. When she began 'Shout', it was the last straw.
The only person I've walked out on was Brenda Lee.
The Twang in Sheperds Bush Empire around 8 years ago.
Horrible atmosphere just loads of different football lads looking for anyone and everyone to kick off with.
Not great when your with your bird, wired and in a strange town.
Oasis in the CIA when Liam ****ed off after about 30 minutes.
Richie Blackmore, played for about half an hour then ****ed off.
Van Morrison, grumpy git who can't sing in tune when playing live
Stereophonics earlier this summer in a leisure centre in Swindon.
Awful organisation, too many crammed in there, security taking bungs to let ticketless fans in and my missus and I spent the whole gig treating people who had collapsed as there were no medical staff on site (fortunately, I have a full paramedic kit in the boot of my car). To be fair, after I spoke to the 'phonics management, they gave us a full refund and a shed load of freebies.
red hot chillies in reading festival, they were on the gear and kept on forgetting the words to songs
saw then a few times since and they have been bloody great
Ian Brown at the cardiff SU, met up with a few from this MB, Ian claimed someone spat at him, so stopped the gig, he did start it after someone was kicked out, but the guy cannot sing to save his life ( it was never about his singing live, the roses were just the right band at the right time )
Catatonia at margam park, strange gig, some crap abba tribute band, then Ian Brown, who the audience did not want to see and boo'ed him and sang some rugby song over the top of him, then Catatonia, Of course I went to see Ian Brown ( who i know cannot sing, we have already touched on that ) after a few Cerys songs i decide to head on home ( well the drive to see my then Girl friend, now wife in Bath ) at the rear of the gig at the food outlets, someone has a Stereo blasting 'Roses songs out and must have been 250 lads all dancing away and thinking they were back in the early 90's ( it must have been mid 00's at the time ) it was surreal, I joined them for a while and headed on home
1990?
I saw the stereo mcs whilst waiting for another band at Glastonbury once. That was a long hour.
must have been about that time
Saw then busking in Sydney in 93, just outside Woolworths at downtown Sydney, they knew the words then LOL
Reading '90 was a good weekend on the whole. Pixies, Fall & Sonic Youth great. Scorching weather & Sisters of Mercy fans wilting in their leathers and a fair few chili Peppers fans wandering about in just their socks.
best RHCP gig i saw was only a few years back at the madejski stadium, it was the Stadium Arcadium tour, just googled it, it was 11 years ago now, where has that time gone ? ? /
I saw that. 'gonna get myself connected' by stumbling around in baggy jeans on stage sounding like you are shouting through a bean tin connected to a length of string. You could wear baggy jeans back then as you know.
they played a nightclub in Cardiff in the early 90's if my memory is correct, only one of them 5 song efforts
Kickers and baggy jeans
Worst was probably Stone Roses at Spike island, I wasn't that far back and central and could barely hear a thing.
The PA system they had just wasn't up to it. Bit of a shit day all round as well. good fireworks at the end though.
The most surreal was Primal Scream at the Uni great hall, just before Loaded came out, they came on stage to be greeted by a sum total of 13 people in the crowd, fair play to them they did a full set but I've never been able to count an audience before..
Hendrix at Woodstock in '69, I fell asleep after 5 minutes.
Manics millennium gig , surrounded by pissed arseholes in Welsh rugby shirts and the manics were utter shit , background was videos of Welsh rugby games for ****s sake , wanted to piss off home early but bird at time was really into them , ****ing dull bitch
Was struggling to think of one, then this beauty popped up.
We left when the old 'Grandstand' tune was played. Still not sure if that was a purposeful pisstake, or a desperate grab at extra time whilst they sorted out the technical problems. Regardless, I convinced my Ex wife that the then still open Hippo would provide a better evening.
I can't quite remember what happened in there (usual story) but I do remember going back to the Millenium for the end of it and a taxi home. All in all, a crap night which enforces my opinion that NYE should be done at home with good friends!!
Aah the hippo, Used to be bogies until late house replaced even later rock n roll. Them was some times. Tom Tom's before that and before that 3wise men over the way under gw's.
Neil Young, the audience were going mad at half an hour of feed back.
Now I like Neil Young’s music but this was utter shite. I left the gig early as I couldn’t stand any more.
I was there too, it was terrible. The support was shite, even some tit reading poetry. Ridiculous queues for the bar, I remember it got to midnight and everyone thought "is that it?" And went home.
and me
Its funny what you take from Gigs though, The sound was crap aswell, but the night wasnt too bad, the queues for the bar were massive, the first time we got 16 pints of Smirnoff Ice ( 2 bottles poured into a pint glass, they wouldnt let you take the plastic bottles ) they gave you pints in them 4 pint cardboard holders , took them back to the seating area and drank them, then my brother went and ordered double that, 8 pints of Smirnoff ice each to beat the queues, imagine 2 blokes carrying 4 of them 4 pint trays each, if you stacked them and tucked them under your chin it worked fine, we were getting hammered by this time, and more importantly, beating the mugs who were standing in the queue and buying a pint a time
one last round we say, i didnt realise the cost of it, each bottle was 4 quid, 2 bottles in a pint glass, 4 pints on a tray, when it came to my round i almost fell over with the shock, we only went to the bar 3 times though LOL
