Quote big fat london boy at 09 Jan 2004 11:45am we saw the specials and madness in the same week all those years ago was a right ole laugh. Went to see The Specials at Hammersmith Palais in 1979 or 1980, can't remember, but when we got there, The Specials had told the venue they didn't want Skinheads in that hadn't pre-booked tickets, so we stood around for a while, then Suggsy came along so we told him and he tried to get us in - top man - but they wouldn't have it, but fair play to Suggs he bothered to come back out and tell us and say sorry. I never bothered with The Specials after that. Still love their first album though. My Rocksteady band... [Link] [Link] IT'S NOT SKA, IT'S ROCKSTEADY!

U2 at Sheffield Arena on the Achtung Baby tour was pretty memorable (as was the queuing for tickets overnight) Fat & Frantic gigs were always a good laugh. Saw the Stranglers in Nottingham in the early 90's on a freebie, but thought the support band (Material Issue, who provided the freebie) were much better. That's just the ramblings of a madman

David Bowie - Milton Keynes Bowl 1982 Echo & the Bunnymen Shepherd's Bush last year. V2003 - Coldplay were especially good. And my first ever Tom Petty at the brighton Centre many moons ago. Seen some rough ones too - all groups I liked just the wrong time in their history - Dexy's after their 3rd Album, The Kinks in Worthing Madonna last year (for the benefit of my girl at the time!) David Bowie on his Glass Spider tour. I'm sure there's lots of others that were OK - The Cure, ABC, Steve Harley, Ian Hunter & Mick Ronson. There's nothing like it for making the hairs on your neck stand up - bit like Palace were a long long time ago, You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name.
