| The Stone Roses first album is a classic IMO. However it has been played to death so I haven't wanted to listen to it for at least a decade.
Saturn V happened to be the first song played at my wedding reception.

| That's weird, I think I have Saturn V in my head more often than any other song too. I still don't know the words properly so have to mmmmmm those bits.
And now, thanks to this, it is back in my head again.

| It's a great album. But if everyone who now claims to have been at Spike Island all stood at one end of the country it'd flip over and land on our heads.

| If every one who claimed to be at Leeds Uni when The Who played their first gig there, then the refectory would have fallen through the earth's crust.

I work in the fancily titled Directorate that also manages the refectory where the gig took place. I have numerous meetings in the adjoining building, the photos of some of the bands playing there is staggering. However, in the 5 years I have been here there is barely a band I have wanted to see.

Rochdale have allocated their Willbuts Lane stand to us. This is a 3,400 seat stand down one side of the ground.
Tickets are £12 adults, £8 concessions and £5 "kids"
These are available now from the Bulls ticket office (where the club get a commission) or on the day.
The coach price is £11 from Odsal.
So..£23 for a ticket and travel or £19 for us oldies.
It would have been all pay at full rate had the match been at a home = £20/£15 concession standing: and £25/£20 concession seating.
My old lass and I are two of the smarmy rich bast@rds in the premier ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif) seats and our tickets at home would have cost £30/25 concession.
So a saving on concessions of £12 for both of us - travel included.

Yeah but you're an old fogey now. Bands aren't like Crème brûlée any more.

| Tens of thousand acclaim to have the seen the last Beatles concert in Bradford in 1964. I know my first wife did as she told me so.
When we met some months later it was a romantic moment to recall that we had, on that very night in October, been within yards of each other. Her in the Gaumont and me passing it's door on transit from the Lord Clyde to the Metropole.
We are still married in no little part I think due to that magic moment of coincidence.
I still refer to her as my first wife just to keep her on her toes

| I thought that 1964 concert in Bradford was the only one they didn't sell out? Typical Bradford apathy!

I don't remember that, is it really true or just one of those stories? Mind, the Gaumont, in its original condition before it was partitioned, held around 3k so it would take a big audience to totally fill it.

I'd put that down to good taste more than apathy.

One of the few bands I have seen at Bradford Uni. Must have been 17 years ago at least. I seem to remember a topless dancer.

It's one of my Dad's oft repeated tales. I'm not sure to whether to believe it or not. Like his stories about once being a lion tamer or being Steve McQueen's mate.
Quote: Bulliac "I'd put that down to good taste more than apathy.'"
Granted the first few Beatles albums are a bit formulaic to modern ears but Rubber Soul and Revolver are superb albums.
Better than owt Mott the Hoople did anyway ![WHISTLE eusa_whistle.gif](images/smilies//eusa_whistle.gif)
