Stone Roses at spike Island in 1990 were shite. The sound system was awful, and distorted because of the open layout, couldn't hear a word. Shawaddywaddy at park hall, on a works do in 1993 were awesome.

Tribute band made up of members of the Shaw family.

Either way, stop it. Showaddywaddy and awesome in the same sentence? :rofl:

You had to be there. Dion Dublin's uncle or something on drums. Waitresses dressed as 11th century wenches. Classic gig.

I first saw U2 when they were bits of kids in 1978 or '79 at a half empty Free Trade Hall and they were fantastic.

Saw  them again  at Wembley stadium in the mid 80's when they'd become one of the  worlds biggest bands, Bono was a gobshite, changing the key during songs and generally being a preacher prick,most of the audience were gobshites and i hated every minute of it - never liked U2 ever since.

Arctic monkeys at the MEN

I first saw them above the thirsty scholar around the time they released their EP ‘Who the fuck are the arctic monkeys’ £3 ticket. 
 

I was a fan. Second album they did the MEN fuck me it was so flat and dull I couldn’t believe it. Saw them at Glastonbury a few years later and it was like someone had said cmon lads you need to do a bit more on stage. Totally different. 

I fucked em off after ticker tape at the MEN too. 

Last few albums have been alright to listen to but not go see live but that recent one I listened to once. Worst album I've ever heard 

My next gig is buddy Holly and Roy orbison at the apollo.

Now then class, if ever you wondered what 'oxymoron' meant then this is a fine example..............;)

More a paradox i would have said.

Spike Island was over indulgence from the band. Eight hours of dub DJs before they came on and a shit sound. Ally Pally was shit sound but the DJs before cranked the place into a frenzy.

I can remember it vividly - "Hi I'm Tommy Musto", the Stone Roses are coming up............... in 5 hours"  I had two cans of coke and a twix all day.
