I know a few people who rave about the Boss and tell me I should check his music out as he's that good. Only heard a few of his singles so can't really judge him.

Many top acts appeared at the Wolfe. My mate said he saw U2 there so it was a big venue.Did anyone see Robert Plant at the General Wolfe?

I had to pick him up from the airport once, there's was certainly no chance of missing him head to toe in hi-vis gear!Best in Cov was Julian Cope at the tic toc 1991? when he was dressed in a dog suit
Now that is what you call a rock and roll lifestyle ! Why should the bands have all the fun ? Me and my two mates always made sure we enjoyed the concert we went to no matter how good/bad they were. Met some great people over the years who like us liked a good drink and my mate who would take any drug going would disappear for hours on end and return grinning like a Cheshire cat ! Great memories though and one that stands out is when the three of us came back from Monsters Of Rock on the train,sat there covered head to foot in mud,much to the bewilderment of other passengers,but we were that out of it we couldn't have cared less. ☺Top 5 off the top of my head right now .......all from my wilderness period......but I can actually remember these gigs as opposed to the hundreds of other gigs & raves that just fade into a blurry befuddled haze....
Stone Roses secret gig at Pilton village party in 1995. (I got in for free & fell out of a moving car on the way home from that gig. I was also one of the "local nutters" (according to the NME review) who scaled the tent pole:singing::singing::cigar:
Nirvana @ portsmouth poly 1989
Portishead @ acoustic tent glastonbury 1995
Rollercoaster tour @ plymouth (Jesus & Mary chain, Blur, Dinosaur Jr. & My bloody valentine) loudest most shambolic gig......made me ears bleed.
Pixies @ portsmouth guildhall 1990.
I was at that portishead gig. Went to see evan dando who was bottled off stage so that portishead could get on.Top 5 off the top of my head right now .......all from my wilderness period......but I can actually remember these gigs as opposed to the hundreds of other gigs & raves that just fade into a blurry befuddled haze....

I wanted to see him for years and was delighted when he turned up at the Ricoh. Must say I was disappointed by it in the end.I know a few people who rave about the Boss and tell me I should check his music out as he's that good. Only heard a few of his singles so can't really judge him.
The entire gig is on you tube pretty good audio qualityI know a few people who rave about the Boss and tell me I should check his music out as he's that good. Only heard a few of his singles so can't really judge him.
And this is what spoiled it for me. RIP to him and quite rightly he was mentioned but in some places it was like a funeral.The entire gig is on you tube pretty good audio quality
The highlight was doing the entire Born to run album as a tribute to James Gandolfini
We wore plastic poncho's for this very reason, plus we enjoyed The Enemy far more than Oasis that day, I felt they were a bit soul-less unfortunately.I really enjoyed Oasis at the Ricoh. One of the best bands in recent decades.
Happily I swapped my standing tickets for seated at the last minute, and enjoyed watching the piss flying around instead of being covered in it.
Queen - Wembley 1986. Not sure I'll ever see better if I'm honest.
Honourable mentions
Oasis - Maine Road
Specials - Leeds Millennium Sq
Happy Mondays - GMEX Manchester around 1990
Stone Roses - Heaton Park
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Lancaster Uni 1989ish
Guns 'n' Roses - Wembley (Use Your Illusion Tour)
The Wonder Stuff - Bescott Stadium
Would have liked to have seen them. One of the greatest performances was the live aid performance-Freddie had the crowd in the palm of his hand.was as that. Great gig.

Were they on their own or were their other bands on ?Did anyone see Oasis at Knebworth? To draw 250,000 people and a 2.5m demand for tickets after just two albums is an amazing achievement

I saw Led Zeppelin at The Locarno. Also saw Jimi Hendrix at the Coventry Theatre. In those days, Coventry could attract top acts.<snip>. My favourite was way back in 1970 at the Bath Festival a three dayer when Led Zeppelin headlined. Also Canned Heat were on too and even though I was just a teenager I remember it being talked about as our answer to Woodstock.<snip>
I only went to the Lanchester once - saw Roxy Music.Zeppelin were steeped in class, could play blues standards all night.
The Lanchester gigs were quality, saw groundhogs, Genesis, Sabbath, purple, who, and loads I have forgotten.
