Didn’t play it for us. But did Man on the Moon, Shiny Happy People…. So that kinda dismissed the “not playing the hits” myth.

When I saw REM they played all the hits

Shiny Happy People was playing in the background when I lost my virginity. 
 

I think a clip of Beavis and Butthead was on as I spilled my beans. Probably MTV, but I was focussed on trying not to shout yeehaa at the time

Saw the Stereophanics twice - once in that terrible gig, once on the long-gone Bratbus tour at Manchester Uni. 

It was them headlining, Asian Dub Foundation and Theaudience with the one and only....SEB.

Saw them once 

Was a greatest hits gig at the academy 

On a Sunday after a heavy weekend 

Couple of spliffs in and went under with cold sweats and wanted to go home

They started off well and finished strong but the vast majority in the middle was hard work

This is the set list when I saw them 20 years ago

I like some singles but not a fan, I only saw them because the tickets were free 

But loved it, Stipe it s such a good front man with stage presence and all that 

He was rapidly moving all over the stage throughout which was all the more impressive given most non rem fans reckoned he had aids

Sort of a decent pub rock band really

 

I always thought Kelly Jones looked like Stelios with hair

Good set list that.

one of those bands that I find I’ll listen to occasionally and wonder why I don’t do it more often.

Then put QOTSA on

Will listen to that, they were such a good band.

First 2 were fucking brilliant, 3rd was ok, then I completely lost interest. Heard one of their singles on the radio a few years ago, and the lyrics were embarrasingly bad. It's like something written by a 13 year old the night before his English homework is due.

 

One o'clock in the morning
And I'm leaving from the club
My friends are having a party
Kind of feel I've had enough

 

At two o'clock in the morning
Sure I'm at their party house
I meet the roommate getting some water
She got a baby in her stomach

 

Three o'clock in the morning
We hear a scream above the sounds
Looks like the baby in her belly
Thinks it's time to come on out

 

Four o'clock in the morning
I'm driving all over the road
I swerve a dog on the high street
And crash into the post

 

She can't wait any longer
I got to help her come into the world
The police try to arrest us
But then they see the baby girl

 

Five o'clock in the morning
I'm drinking coffee on the ward
I take a walk in to see her
Tells me 'bout the dad that took off

 

And now we're twenty-two months along
She ask me to be the daddy
And get married when it snows

Beyond dreadful. My cat eating biscuits is more poetic. Them and Kasabian are two of the dullest bands on earth

Decent set that. I only ever saw them twice. 1989 and 2008. Was totally convinced they played Distubance at the Heron House in Birmingham. Which does make me sometimes question if the sets are correct on this site. That second encore in Birmingham I imagine would have been a tough one to enjoy. I have very few recollections of the gig. Was 17 and on an organised coach from Moor Lane. We’d played at Wembley round that time as well.

I'm going to have to do a playlist of the set I saw, I actually only know 10 of the 20 songs by name 

That would normally be a bad gig me, I don't like bands doing songs I don't know well 

But as said enjoyed every minute 

Helped it was a nice day on the piss  

Athlete, John squire and badly drawn boy were on before them

Got a freebie corporate weekend to london that includes (gulp) the ABBA show .

I fucking hate Abba. Really, really hate them. Guttural hated type of thing.

I've been. It's beyond brilliant what they have done, it's so impressive. 

And it's gives people loads of fun.

I hated every minute though.
