Steel Pulse...never really into their recordings, good, but never loved, but always loved their concerts.

Dave, I knew Marley played the Centre twice in 77 & is generally accepted to have never been beaten but can't recall a 80 gig which will annoy ne as I can't say I was too young to miss it!

3. Toots & The Maytals
4. Eek a Mouse
5. Aswad
6. Burning Spear

I think it was his penultimate concerts, you missed TWO nights :-(... think he did Philadelphia after Brighton, and that was it sadly....

He even changed the lyrics to 'Just like a BRIGHTON sunny day' and really ephasised Brighton....

Can't Get Enough of Depeche Mode been 20 times as far away as Hong Kong in 1992 they are truly amasing

 

[PHCgull]

Janes Addiction Brixton Academy 1990-ish
The Pixies at Cr*stal P*lace (the park, not the decrepit chav-riddled slum) - around the same time. Beautiful day, beautiful people.

[CP 0 3 BHA]

Did anyone make it to the O2 to see Muse over the last couple of nights?

Sounds like their latest tour set-up is as modest and understated as usual! I'm seeing them at the LG Arena on Tuesday and can't wait.

Without a doubt, Radiohead at Glastonbury '97. They played their upcoming or recently released new album, cant remember which, OK COMPUTER! Was immense, amazing, unforgetable atmosphere, even fireworks going off over the stage at the of the gig. Truly amazing, with me to my dying breath

This is mine too. Unforgettable.
