skuzzlebutt Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 that would have to be motorhead at the capitol circa 1979....probably the best motorhead line up as well, lemmy, fast eddy clarke (who still has an influence on some of my breaks today) and phil taylor...

TelecasterSam Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 what a dope I wuzlong whilie back (late 70's early 80's, memory is a bit foggy these days) I had a ticket for The Stones @ Roundhay Park, Leeds... and gave it to my brothers youngest son, so he could go with his dad and older bro,,,,, what a dickhead I was....but DID go to see Springsteen (same place) a few years later....Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention...... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I'm just pleased you can't see the clothes I was probably wearing. (We might've gone down by motorbike, I think, so the leathers would be OK, but the tank top, purple flares etc are best hidden) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 long whilie back (late 70's early 80's, memory is a bit foggy these days) I had a ticket for The Stones @ Roundhay Park, Leeds...1982 it was - that was my first ever gig. (extremely young, obv...) with Joe Jackson and the J Geils Band I think. 120,000 crowd in a sunny park, great fun. My mum and dad came to pick me up and my Dad was cursing the Stones as their limo had sped out the gates and almost hit his Escort. "never did bloody like them"...Personally I kind of regret being too hung over to be arsed going with my flatmate to some grunge band he'd heard about. He went anyway, and spent the afternoon chatting to Kurt, Krist and Dave on the steps of the QMU... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that's a bit vague though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I wish I'd seen the Buzzcocks the first time they were at the Capitol (with Joy Division supporting)....saw them the next time, but I was up in Wick for a month so missed the first one.Also wished I'd gone to see Tim Hardin at the Imperial Hotel (that's if he did actually play there...I might be confused about it.....I saw Billy Fury there about the same era, so they were puttting on decent stuff).

Sam 45 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Spokes last night at the Captains Rest. I've been pretty bad for it over the last few weeks. Still, looking forward to Death Cab on Friday and Russian Circles on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanette Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Not just Death Cab, Frightened Rabbit too!Well, yes. But I've seen them numerous times and I'll be seeing them at Biffy, so I was more preoccupied with Death Cab! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I wish I could go to Death Cab. I had friends willing and everything. Stupid people at work. There are a copious number of gigs I wish I'd been alive/old enough to go to, but, alas.The only two I can think of right now are;Olafur Arnalds at Peacocks (I had no-one to go with. )Biffy at the Music Hall in '05 (I'd bought a ticket but my mum wouldn't let me go. :O Never let her live that down; CONVEX CONCAVE! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders Centric Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Wish I'd been able to go to the Manics Millenium gig. At least I have it on DVD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were supporting a wee Swedish act called Jeniferever, only pretty much my favourite band these days. Who i have still not seen live.
