I was at Spike Island to see the Stone Roses, i think it was May 1989, it was a beautiful day too. It was an all day affair. there must have been half a dozen warm up groups, all afternoon and early evening.
And, as promised, just after sunset, that humming base line from 'I wanna be adored' came wafting through the air, it felt like that base line was vibrating in my head for 5 minutes before those wonderful opening few bars on the guitar hit me.
Eat your heart out Oasis, you will never be as good.
I would love to hear from anyone else that was there that night.
Apart from several bands at Glasto, my fav was Prince in 1991 @ Wembly Stadium. Simply fantastic!!
Been to plenty of good gigs and a few not so good ones, here's the highlights that I can remember:
Ned's Atomic Dustbin + Miles Hunt (frontman from The Wonderstuff) + various others in Dudley Castle in 2000. A gig in a ruined castle on top of a hill, surrounded by a zoo and fairground. How cool is that?
Ned's Atomic Dustbin reunion gig @ JB's in Dudley 2000
Wonderstuff reunion gigs @ JB's and in London (can't remember where, Hammersmith I think). 2000
Foo Fighters first UK gig in the small tent @ Reading Festival 1995 (also saw Green Day, Hole, Smashing Pumpkins, White Zombie, and Neil Young with most of Pearl Jam)
Off The Tracks Festival Sept 2003 - particularly Le Cod Afrique, the Ozric Tentacles (for the second time), and a bunch of insane Border Morris dancers.
Carter USM @ Aston Villa Leisure Centre 1993

HEY YOU DON'T WATCH THAT WATCH THIS
THIS IS THE HEAVY HEAVY MONSTER SOUND
THE NUTTIEST SOUND AROUND
SO IF YOU'RE COMING IN OFF THE STREET
AND YOU'RE BEGINING TO FEEL THE HEAT
WELL LISTEN BUSTER
YOU BETTER START TO MOVE YOUR FEET
TO THE ROCKINEST ROCKSTEADY BEAT
OF MADNESS..........
They were/are amazing best live act EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sham69 when they played at a small venue in Worthing back in the mid 90's.
They tried to do some of their newer songs and were blatently ignored, then it was straight into Hersham Boys, Borstal Breakout, and If The Kids Were United. The last of those three was alright as long as you didn't look at Jimmy Percy, he looks like an old Mick Jagger these days. I think JP has led some wild kinda life! :shock:
The mosh pit was on fire that night, 200 Punx n Skinz kicking the crap out of each other. :twisted:
For lots of different reasons, these 6 stand out,,,
Bowie, 1978,
U2, joshua tree tour,
Smiths, free trade hall Mcr,
Stone Roses, Blackpool.
Muse, T in the park last year,
British Sea Power, Mcr Acadamy , this year,
Chemical Brothers, Glastonbury
but i have many more to numerous to mention
Pink Floyed at a open air concert and yes they played the whole of dark side of the moon.
The day had been hot, the bear cool and the people fremdly. Floyed came on after dark. The visual effects where even then, spectacular. I'd met a girl there, we had a cuddle (grope) to the had a sticky end to the evening.
It was a heaven on earth.
I believe Floyed are on tonignts G8 concert at 8:20.
Lightning Seeds - not so long after 3 Lions came out, my leaver's ball at uni we all went down to the beach from Kent uni to M... Mar... what's the place name? anyway.. The organisation of the travel was a disaster, way too few coaches and they ended up booking quite a few cabs to get people there before the band came on and making a massive loss from what I hear (just glad I was on an earlier coach), but the atmosphere and the band were great and of course finishing with 3 Lions absolutely everyone was with them, hands in the air. Awesome.
Madonna Earl's Court 2001(I think, or was it 2000) was great, just wish I'd seen some of her earlier ones in the 80s/90s. Wow what a show. Seeing her on Live8 earlier again just reconfirms she's still got it and knows how to entertain. Big fan. And those guys spinning on just one hand... How!? Got the hifi and TV up high (sorry neighbours, and probably over the road too...).
another one that sticks in my memory
first ever motorhead open air gig in a field near upminster summer 75?
not for the quality of music
typical head banging stuff
but the best part had to be when the local farmer whose field had been invaded got fed up listening to it all sunday afternoon and pulled the plug, funny Lemmy didn't seem to notice at first !
the bikers "asked" him nicely to put the power back on, which he kindly agreed to
but hey couldnt get to see the real thing.......
