Best Ever Support Act

[tinx]

I went to see the Stereophoncs at the albert hall on tuesday and think I saw quite possibly the best support act ever.

Paul Weller came on first and did 4 tracks including Thats Entertainment and a town called malice. He was then Joined by James Dean Bradfield (the lead singer of the manics) They played a track together then Kelly Jones joined them for a track.

James dean bradfield then left the stage and Roger Daltrey came on stage and they played a few tracks including The kids are alright and magic bus.

The stereophonics were good but paled into insignificance after that. Plus we also got to meet Paul Weller as he was hanging aorund watching the sterophincs near where we were sat, got my missus to have her photo taken with the legend.

Not bad for a tuesday night.

I saw the Jam supporting Little Bob Storey at Crawley College (with about twenty other punters) and Talking Heads and The Saints supporting The Ramones at The Roundhouse.

All very good supporting acts.

Lynyrd Skynurd for Golden Earing at the Dome in 1974.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Sounds lke a top night, even if the Stereophonics are poo poo.

Best support acts I ever saw were Travis back in the day and Urusei Yatsura who supported the Super Furries, both gigs in the old East Wing.

 

[Marc]

Ugly Kid Joe supporting Van Halen & Bon Jovi in 1995 at Wembley Stadium, thats my fave support act EVER! they blew away the main two bands.

Because of the context, I would have to go for Alfie supporting the Flaming Lips. The context being that the Lips were hugely disappointing, and without Alfie the whole night would have been deeply depressing.

Also 'saw' Sun Electric supporting the Orb c.1991/2 and they were fookin fantastic.

Lynyrd Skynurd for Golden Earing at the Dome in 1974.

Now there's a gig I'd love to have been at. Freebird and Radar Love at the same gig. Marvellous.

Rudedog supporting the Dickies at the Concorde 2, man that was some show

Urusei Yatsura are f***ing brilliant. I can't beleive they didn't make more of their career, saw them quite a few times around brighton. I actually saw the Super Furries supporting Catatonia at the concorde many moons ago as well.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

The Bluetones supporting Supergrass at the Crypt in Hastings was a bit of a gig.

 

[timseagull]

The Darkness supporting the Wildhearts (they were crap then too) but look at them now.

Also saw Travis supporting Mansun at the East wing. Travis are now huge Mansun split up.

Neither fit the bill as being best support act though....Lamb supporting Moby were class.

 

[Hungry Joe.]

I saw The Proclaimers support The Housemartins at The Top Rank in Brighton. I didn't know whether to laugh, cry or jig.

Best; The Beastie Boys supporting Run DMC, Brighton '87.

 

[Faldo]

The Bluetones supporting Supergrass at the Crypt in Hastings was a bit of a gig.

Cor blimey - I was at that! I got my nose broke and left before supergrass came on, but didnt care coz the bluetones were AMAZING!

 

[bhafc99]

Pixies supporting Throwing Muses, 1988.

 

[REDLAND]

Best; The Beastie Boys supporting Run DMC, Brighton '87.

My first ever gig without the parents !!!

My first ever gig without the parents !!!

Fantastic wasn't it. Seeing The Beasties wallop cans of Bud into the crowd with baseball bats infront of a 14ft high hydraulic penis was an important moment in my life.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Saw the verve support Oasis at earls court

 

[CHAPPERS]

Also saw Travis supporting Mansun at the East wing. Travis are now huge Mansun split up.

.

Yep, I was there.

Alfie are pure class. Really relaxed during the songs but the way they get into their music when they are playing is excellent. The best frontman in the country too, even if he is a United fan. Want to see more of them.

Just thought of another, the Jungle Brothers supporting the Beasties at Wembley. Never since have I seen two black geezers on te same bmx shouting 'We in the VIP, yeah yeah'

Marvellous scenes.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Alfie supporting Embrace were great

 

[REDLAND]

Dialated Peoples supporting Blubba Sparx last year at the Astoria were awesome, after a couple of Blubba songs the crowd were shouting to get them back on, Blubba did 5 songs and fu*ked off
