boboneleg Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 While I was still at school I saw Mott the Hoople at the Colston Hall (not allowed to call it that now) in Bristol. My mate Jim was a wizz at getting backstage and we found ourselves in their dressing room after the gig. I grew up very quickly with some of the shenanigans I saw going on in there until we got kicked out by their manager . Ian Hunter was a really cool dude, he thought it was funny that we'd managed to sneak in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 20 hours ago, MooN said: I've never really been into concerts and really dislike crowds so have seen very little live music. I remember seeing The Boomtown rats at a theatre in London. They were playing in the interval in some show that my gran had taken us to see, i was far too young, about 8 or 9 I guess. I remember the song though, cos it was "I don't like Mondays" though I didn't recognise it till years later. I've seen various smaller bands at open air do's in my misspent youf, I think I saw Blodwyn Pig but don't remember it, Phil collins with Phl bailey, Stryper, The Pogues ( in a pub in southampton) and Bob Dylan in Dijon about 20 odd years ago. French bands like Renaud before his voice gave out and Ultra Vomit live in the parc in auxerre, but no really big groups. Dylan was... welll... Dylan not really a showman but genius lyricist and musicien. the Pogues were fucking brilliant, but you have to like that sort of thing. I can beat you I have seen ELO (3 times) in concert, never been to another concert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yen_powell Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Wishbone Ash (against my will) Bon Jovi (against my will twice) Bryan Adams ZZ Top AC/DC Iron Maiden Judas Priest Dio Girlschool Fleetwood Mac Saxon Bay City Rollers Status Quo Showaddywady Scorpions The Damned Doctor Feelgood Engine Susie Quatro David Essex Heart I'm sure there are a few I've forgotten. ZZ Top were the biggest disappointment. Fleetwood Mac and Heart were probably joint best performers. Status Quo made me laugh when they announced they had an album out called the Fourth Chord! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw ELO a few times too. They were actually the first band that I saw, when they did the Face the Music tour. Saw them at Wembley for the Out of the Blue and A New World Record tours. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was about 12 years ago, so probably not all originals. At the same event was Showaddywaddy and the long haired singer seemed to be singing slower than the band were playing. He's now their manager I believe, the other singer died a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not keen on them, saw them in a pub called the Royal Standard, my late mate/boss was a big big fan and dragged me along. Some sweaty sock threatened me with the 'heed' just because I trod on his foot on my way to and from the toilet. Honestly, if you spend your life in a skirt dragging your bollocks through the gorse and brambles, a sore toe should be the least of your worries. I knew I'd remember some more. Saw the Nolans at Butlins once, they were bloody funny. It was them or Roger de Courcy and Nookey bear, I think I made the right decision. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my work mates used to go to a lot of stag nights and Roger de courcy was at a couple back in the day with bollocks bear. He said he was very good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did it seems. She beat Lenny Henry and Victoria Wood when she was a contestant. The same thing I read said she only did her first audition because she had no money to pay her mother's £19 funeral bill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
