Rory Gallagher at the Rainbow 1970 something. Everyone was rocking in the aisles.
Also the Faces at Sutton Granada. Alice Cooper - Welcome to my Nightmare at Wembley Arena.
When you think what Sutton Granada and also the Greyhound in Croydon became.
Ludicrous.
Not that I ever went gigging at either of them. I was a late developer vis a vis live.
The Pogues, Town and Country Club - 14, 15, 17 March 1988. I couldn't get a ticket for the 16 March which is just as well as I wouldn't have survived the week. They were totally pissed and sounded much better at other times. The video makes them sound even rougher than they did sound. But that atmosphere was incredible. Totally electric. It was the week when I realised that hooligans were a lot nicer than most professional people.
(nb All the problems occurred when the professional people became the hooligans - that of course occurred around the time of D-Ream - there was a sort of colonialism of GPs and lawyers, things were never the same)
