Your best ever live gig



Cream at Sussex University, 1967.
Hendrix at the same place a year later.

Most memorable gig I have ever performed at ... As an Albionette (don't ask!), with the Albion Band at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon. Casting pearls before swine, believe me.

This is proving to be a fantastic memory jogger for me - forgotten Motorhead - saw them at Bracknell Sports Centre - not the best venue acoustically, but hey, it was Motorhead so it didn't matter sooooooooooooo loud.

Respect!

You have cool taste Lord B. My dad brought me up on those bands and others. I think I turned out OK in my musical taste. Shame about the rest!!!

You're right Turgid, it is a memory jogger.

Test Department during the miners strike. Superb set with striking welsh miners reading poetry to the bagpipes and industrial metal inn the background.

He is a total total genious and anyone , I said anyone who wants to disagree can see me to discuss it at anytime. :censored:

I completely agree with you Gareth (for a change)

Absolute class


Btw Nathan, he didn't record songs, they were instumentals.

Attacco Decente - had forgotten all about them - for some reason I always associate them with the Brighton Bottle Orchestra - now there was an act that could blow

Electronic knob twiddling in my mind - more about lights than music - but that is only my opinion

Nothing to do with lights , infact the concert at Wembley Arena in 1999 when it was just the music was awesome.

JJM is a modern composer of wonderful symphonies.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on JJM - perhaps we should still to the stranglers who I believe we both share a liking for.
 


Ground Zero at the Tolbooth, Stirling, about 5 or 6 years ago. It was one of their last ever gigs. I have never seen such a reaction - the audience were going loopy. At the end of their third encore, as they left, one member of the audience jumped up to the door they were exiting through, dropped to his knees and BEGGED them to stay. Got his wish, too. Only one member of the press was there (reviewer for the Herald) and he agreed with the audience, saying it was the best gig he had gone to in his twenty-odd years as a music-writer.

They were incredible - the most powerful, mesmerising, entertaining, inventive gig I could ever even imagine.

Next has to be the two Keijo Haino gigs I've had the pleasure of being to. He's not over here very often - if he comes to Brighton, you must go, but prepare for a very physically-demanding (on the audience) gig.

Shouldn't forget Sun Electric in Leicester about 12 years ago, or Fugazi's tenth anniversary gig in Washington DC (summer of '97, I think).
