I'd still like to hear more from whoever wrote in complaining about there being a lot of bass. At a dub show. Imagine their surprise.

That's the one, right there. I mean, the Mute night was amazing with The Liars and all, but the sheer joy of the Shack Shakers playing Aberdeen and being that close to the action all night - Superb.

...the ones I saw, the ones I wish I'd seen...

The Wannadies (twice - my favourite being the one where Per starts singing softly only to be drowned out by the chattering of the bar crowd. He comes to the end of his bit, says 'Talk all you want' and the band crash in to completely drown out the chatterers whose heads explode while the rest of us dance. Well, maybe not the exploding head bit.)

The Kills, The Delgados (on their last ever tour), KT Tunstall, Soulwax, Astrid Williamson, Thea Gilmore, Erin McKeown, The Divine Comedy, Roddy Frame, Kathryn Williams, Bic Runga, Beth Orton, The Webb Brothers.

And the last one I saw, and the least populated, the excellent Mark Eitzel. The one LT gig I've been to where it wasn't deluged by bar chatterers.

I would've liked to have seen many more but due to illness and my not actually living in the city I could not, and now I never will.

The Lemon Tree was a great place. I particularly remember:

Dick Dale

Link Wray amazing when he got some of the audience to strum his guitar!

Rufus Thomas - who I surprised by producing a Sun 78 of his first record "Bear Cat" made in 1953.
He had a great entertaining show. I especially liked the bit when he was chatting up a young lady in the audience and then found she was standing next to her boyfriend - then he got them both up on stage and "Married" them with his band playing The Wedding March.

Scotty Moore and DJ Fontanta were great. Wonderful to see Scotty playing and no one can beat DJ's drumming on "Hound Dog".

Scotty was good too when he came back without DJ.

Foolishly she did come down, at which he grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and chucked her out the front doors.

I've a feeling he might not get away with it nowadays, but it was a laugh at the time.

Mr Cope has a way with hecklers - check this link to YouTube

YouTube - Julian cope getting a little upset
