Gene Vincent/Eddie Cochran, Gaumont Cinema, Cardiff January 1960. Amazing performances.

Wow! That is something. I'm genuinely envious. At that time, I'm sure your world was rocked more than any other of the show attendees on this thread.

The Jam, Sophia Gardens, 10 Nov 1980

It rocked my world too. But looking back it was just OK. Shit venue. Awful sound. I loved the Jam, but apart from a view songs, I don't get it anymore. They were a singles band. All Mod Cons is their only complete album and it's still far from a classic. Billy Hunt? I'd rather listen to This Is The Modern World, which is considered a second album slump.

well thats simply an opinion , I wouldn't go and see erasure but I am sure some people think they are fantastic . I think they are dreadful , insipid nonsense .

My world was rocked by Sabbath , original line up , before they became a pantomime show

Re: Concerts that rocked your world?

2 spring to mind.
BB King in Norwich in the late 80s. Probably didnt appreciate it enough at the time but so glad I went.
Secondly Kate Bush at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2014. Her first concerts for 35 years and wouldn't surprise me if she never played live again.

Re: Concerts that rocked your world?

(concerts at TJs. I think I lived there in my youth) snap plus Stow Hill Labour Hall gigs . Cheap Sweaty Fun was had by all ( literally ) probably slammed danced into you a few times lol

Haha yes probably.

For those of us in our 40s and 50s I'm sure we would have bumped into each other at various venues in South Wales

I am sad no one bought TJs and kept it going.

I thought John Sicolo deserved some recognition for his services to music in South Wales, it's sad he passed away without that happening.

I was such a regular that John used to let me in late or when TJs was full because he knew I was either playing football or watching city. He always used to ask about city's results. He was around for almost every gig at TJs... The stories he must have had.

The amazing thing about TJs was that the diversity in acts was unbelievable... From world famous metal bands, up and coming indie bands and even boy bands. Brilliant.

Jess Roden Band at stafford poly, 1974-ish

I saw Jess Roden Band at Cardiff Capitol Theatre in the mid 70’s. Went out and bought their album the next day. Don’t really know what eventually happened to them .

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers at Capitol Theatre in the mid 70’s. Virtually unknown , supporting Nils Lofgren. They blew him away, and were the only support band to get the audience on their feet. You just knew this band were going to be huge. And they were.

Iggy Pop, at the Birmingham Hummingbird, January 1991. Unbelievable. See Iggy and die.
Elvis Costello - numerous occasions. The consumate performer.
Pixies - numerous occasions. Brilliant band, both live and recorded.

\They were big on the college circuit for a few years and a couple of albums, then split up.
