Aarrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhh you put that on so you could say you know of a bad gig but didn't go to it.
Yes - it was in Bristol in 88 or 89 - can't remember the venue - it wasn't the Bierkeller but it was a small place like that. The bouncers were getting heavy handed with people stage diving - they were giving them serious slaps then throwing them back into the crowd - this guy got up and bear hugged a bouncer twice his size and jumped back into the crowd holding onto him. The bouncer got absolutly battered - the music stopped - lights went on and it turned into total mayhem.What!!!
You saw Jake and the boys...
I'm going to see Snow Patrol tomorrow, me hopes I wont be returning to add them to this list..

Sorry to be a downer SB, but I wouldn't hold my breath - that guy's singing can be desperate live...
That was an incredible gig. The line up was;I can't remember who the band were but 20 odd years ago I went to see Simple Minds in Croker, one of the Irish support bands were pretty awful and people started throwing plastic bottles at them, singer stopped and said if people didn't stop throwing bottles they were walking off, result, a deluge of bottles.
That was an incredible gig. The line up was;
Blue In Heaven
In Tua Nua
The Waterboys
Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Simple Minds

Yes absolutely brilliant gig! We got scammed on the way out because someone was selling what they told us were programs of the gig and when we opened them it was an Irish Magazine called Mahogany Gaspipes or something like that.
Just remembered Peter Gabriel & Crowded House on a very wet night in Marley a few years back - CH were very non-descript, and PG was just terrible - looked like one of the 'embarassing uncle at wedding' rocking it out. Apparantly, the setlist was chosen by his die-hard fans via his website, which might explain part of why it was a terrible show.
Yeah there too and I usually like Peter Gabriel. I dont think I will ever forget the rain.
I just remembered that towards the end of the 'Minds set, there was a lightening storm, with huge sparks of forked lightening running what appeared to be the length of Croker towards the stage. It was like the best special effects ever.Yes absolutely brilliant gig!

Was it funnier than the book?Diary of Anne Frank on in the West End where the acting of the German soldiers was so bad that the people in the front row were shouting out ' she iz behind ze panel in ze wall' just to get it over with.
