hehehehe just for trb......

this years top 3 loud gigs!

ac/dc at men arena
green day at men
motorhead at the apollo

I went to see Oasis supported by Whiteout at the Duchess in Leeds - I'd seen Whiteout previously and knew nothing about Oasis. It was packed out and and I couldn't get to the bar so as Whiteout were the band I mainly wanted to see I left before Oasis came on. As I was leaving John Keenan (promoter) said 'you should stay and watch these, they are going to be massive' - I replied 'sure - I'll see them back here in 6 months' ..... ok, I got that one wrong s

That's a top list!

DC are rumoured to be doing a few festivals next year - and that's it - retirement! Awaiting details!

Green Day would be good to see.

Motorhead - new album early next year and more gigs later on!

Sex Pistols Ivanhoes nightclub Huddesfield 1978


Toyah, Lene Lovich, Siouxsie Huddersfield Poly about 1980

Specials in Birmingham about 1981

Selecter Huddersfield Greenhead park about 1980 / 81


Iron Maiden Beast on the Road tour warm up gig Huddersfield Poly about 1982 the first outing of Eddie i think

The Pogues Leeds Uni about 1985 ( best gig i ever saw)

Oasis Newcastle Riverside 1990 ish

Ozzy Osbourne / Black sabbath Leeds Queen Hall about 1982

Men They couldnt hang Reading festival

That's a right mixed bag!

Was that the 1989 appearance when it absolutely battered it down? Class band.

It was raining. I remembered getting soaked but not worrying and i was right ath the front dancing away, sweat pouring off us and all this steam going up in the air. i think that the Pogues were on as well and a really good french band ( cannot remember the name but they did Zoobi la Mouche).

The pogues were great as well. For the first 40 minutes Shane mc Gowan was plaste red, kept falling over could not sing etc. Then after 40 minutes he seemedto recover and they were fantastic

I remembered the french band Les Negresses Vert a sort of cross of gypsy folk and french two tone.

I cannot remember all the other bands who played but i think New Order played and they were crap. They came on a nd turned some synths on and in remember the keybopard player just walke doff stage and then came back to change the track.

It ws the best festival i have ever been to and not just cos i copped off with Fiona C ( and spent half of saturday morning trying to find the morning after pill )

Quality thread - still got most of my old tickets from early '80s at Unity Hall. Even got an old badge of that Dutch group 'gruppo sportivo' anybody remember them? Worst 'support band' or 'go to the bar' decision I ever made? Leeds Uni to watch Buzzcocks headlining - depressing support group came on with lead singer doing strange epileptic dancing. Didn't fancy that, headed to bar for unnecessary additional ale and to leer at unattainable female students. The support band? Joy Division...

Good man....Poor decision!! A fantastic band IMO.
