Soda Jerk Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 At The Drive-In w/ Spy Versus Spy at the Leeds Cockpit at the back end of the year 2000. It was about 6 and it was on a Saturday. I had no excuses, but I passed it up, thinking "ah, they'll be back".Then they split.PAIN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I failed to mention that not only did ATD-I split up shortly after that tour, but so did Spies.I am a dick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest calumunderkills Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Aged 14 - got offered a ticket for Oasis @ Loch Lomond. Mum wouldn't let me go. Never forgiven her...About 3 years ago, went to see Rescue Party supporting some American band at Kef. Ticket was a fiver. Couldn't be arsed going downstairs to watch the headline act. The band was called We Are Scientists.......This year had tickets for Muse at Wembley - decided I couldn't afford the trip. Really wish I'd gone now.

Alan Cynic Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 ouch, a particularly sore one!?Yeah...that's a big regret...he wasn't really well known over here, but, having been a big Tim Buckley fan I'd checked out his music and liked it a lot.A friend of mine was the studio engineer when he did some radio sessions in NYC, but if she let them leak she'd get extremely sued Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
