I've never really enjoyed festivals. And I'd always rather see a band indoors than out. I've some good gigs at the top rank and even Sophia Gardens. Saw the Ramones in Bristol. Jane's Addiction too. I saw Oasis on their first US tour at a 125 capacity venue. I've seen PJ Harvey in an even smaller room. I've seen the Brian Jonestown Massacre in the same room and I saw Fat White Family play their first ever show in the US, that was pretty memorable.
Been to various retro festivals too and Two Thousand Trees each year where we get free tickets.
Didn’t I see you supporting Brian Jonestown Massacre in Brooklyn?Originally Posted by NYCBlue
Hüsker du, butthole surfers, big black all good with me . Only saw Hüsker du but have some nice vinyl of all those.
One that stayed with me was James and Happy Mondays at the Ritz, Manchester. Monday’s were the support but blew James away. Mental night.
Just googled it. 1988. £5.50 at the door.
Love big black and shellac , albini is great guitarist
The Ritz manchester was a great venue , we used to stand upstairs on the balcony
Jillys rock club over the road was my second home when I was living up there
Clearly not, but i've seen them somewhere and Brooklyn was the only place I could think of.
Best ever gig? No question - Iggy Pop. Unbelievable.
Runners up - Ramones, Costello, Pixies, Rezillos, Morrissey, REM.
In the 70s and 80s, it felt like there was a gig to see almost every week, and I went to most of them.

Ah … what a name from the past: Jess Roden. I had his first solo album (1974) and a mighty fine vinyl record it was too. I can't remember how I got to know about him but he was really good. Here's a track from that album:

I didn't see you!
I've got that album on vinyl and CD, so you should be in luck.
But try to get hold of the band's other albums- "Play it Dirty, Play it class" and "Keep Your Hat On"
Both excellent.

lone star at the capitol...and if my memory serves me ( i'm almost certain to wrong) the headline was Gabriel ala solsbury hill tour
My missus was at the Beatles gig. Hope you didnt lay your grubby hands on her. 😀
Chris Farlowe just about my hero from the 60s. Have seen him live and met him a few times, but only in recent years at 60s gigs. Would love to see him do a full set.
