If you want the best gigs of all time I am torn between Floyd at Earls Court 1981 ish - The Wall

 

and The Smiths Free Trade Hall 1984 ish followed by a sesh in the Hacienda.

 

Hawkwind at the Apollo 1979 and 1980, Motorhead also 1980 ish.

 

The Stone Roses at Sheffield on their last tour was also a bit special.

 

Oh Happy Days.........

Smiths FTH84 was a classic. The front rows of the seating collapsed as it all went a bit mad!

 

I'm sure tickets were only about ?3 for a gig in those days or am I imagining it?

courteeners were good tonight, got the attitude to go along way in the manc scene. Even better gettin a good few whites songs ont go with some guys ont way out.

Do you know this for fact? If so, can you give us a blow by blow account of what 'Turning to the dark side' was like?

can you give us a blow by blow account

 

There's no blowing lovie.

A few mention The Who, so heads up for BBC4 toneet 9.30-11.30:

Amazing Journey: The Story Of The Who. BBC 4Biography of the legendary British band, charting four decades of their success in the music industry through a combination of rare and unseen concert footage. Plus, exclusive interviews with key players, including Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey

That was a brilliant biography,I had not seen the footage of the detours before and did not know that the band reformed and toured just to get Entwhislte out of dire straights,I was brought up on the Who and Dylan and remember being baby sat while my dad went to the gig at charlton that was featured in the programme.

I still have the ticket somewhere at me mams, think it was about a fiver in the posh seats - the side balcony

 

I shudder when I realise it was over 24 years ago!

I'd have loved to have seen The Smiths but they last played England in 1986 and I was a bit young. Seen pretty much everything since then worth watching apart from Libertines, Nirvana and Radiohead circa The Bends before they went utter w?nk.

 

Saw the Breeders this week, awesome! Got Charlatans, Wedding Present, The Cribs and Black Kids coming up

was looking at tickets for the charlatans today, seen em at rockness last year, they are quality. Got the cribs coming up at this years rockness good times!

courteeners were good tonight, got the attitude to go along way in the manc scene. Even better gettin a good few whites songs ont go with some guys ont way out.

 

seen em better than that to be honest .

 

They where ok but looked a bit nervous if you ask me.

 

Maybe the pressure of playing a home gig.

 

Shit hot band though

going watching them in may for the umpteenth time,quality live band,

 

gutted about missing the breeders the other week another top band.

Radiohead circa The Bends before they went utter w?nk.

For me, folk I've not seen that would have liked to

 

Smiths

Beatles

Pink Floyd

Sex Pistols

Stone Roses

 

Think I've seen just about everyone I would like to from recent times, witht he exception of Killers
