| .0� Who would you most like to see, most missed act ?
EAGLES! Still sobbing uncontollably twelve years after I failed
to get tickets.
.0� Who are your favourite acts, best act you have been to ?
Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac, Supertramp, Billy Joel. One
surprisingly good one was the Cliff Richard and the Shadows reunion
concert about three/four years ago - not my normal taste at all.
The best concert I *ever* saw, though, has to be
Simply Red, Hammersmith, last year.

26.17 | Any you may find yourself ... | KERNEL::COHEN | Keep Music Live | Tue Apr 05 1988 17:33 | 15 |
|
Talking Heads ..... 1980 (Free Trade Hall Manchester)
Above, was and I'm nearly sure, will always be the best. They were
at their pinnacle before finding singles success!
I've been to a lot, but Springsteen really delivered at Wembley
Stadium - went up to Leeds overnight to see him their too!!!
Must admit, that I like the club gigs these days - any Ruthless
Blues gig at Angies, and Laverne Brown at Cricketers. What great
memories!!

Best concert - Queen Leiden, Holland 1986
Great atmosphere,
brilliant performance!
Most dissapointing - Paul Simon Rotterdam, Holland 1987
(He did none of his oldies, and most of
the show was given by the African group
doing all the stuff from "Graceland"-
not bad in itself, but I'd paid to see
Paul Simon :-( )
Want to see - Bryan Ferry
Cheers, Steve

26.20 | Dissappointing | RDGENG::KEDMUNDS | but I haven't got an fm2r... | Wed Apr 06 1988 14:33 | 1 |

|
26.21 | these stick in the memory | RDGENG::MACFADYEN | Roderick MacFadyen | Wed Apr 06 1988 15:01 | 34 |
| Best:
U2, Edinburgh Nite Club, Nov 80 (support was Altered Images)
Passions, Edinburgh Nite Club, Feb 81
Squeeze, Edinburgh Roxy (I think), May 81
Rain Parade, Manchester University Students Union, Sept 85
Julian Cope, Manchester International 2, March 87 (came out
of that one and found my friend's car had been stolen)
BAD, Manchester International 2, March 87
Worst:
David Bowie at Murrayfield, Edinburgh, June 83 (approx), on the
"Let's Dance" tour - not his fault: we arrived late, were miles
from the stage, and it was absolutely peeing with rain.
New Order, Edinburgh Assembly Rooms, Sept 83 (approx). They
were really lacklustre, and I was really disappointed, because
I liked them so much, then and now.
Bhundu Boys, Manchester International, Sept 86. Well, far from
the worst I've seen, and everyone else liked them, but I just
got bored.
Would most like to have seen:
The Associates, when they were still Rankine and Mackenzie.
Had a ticket to see them - they broke up the day before the
concert!

| Where are the Waterboys ????
These guys MUST be the best band I ever saw, in a two month period
I saw them 4 times, each time they impressed me more and more.....
The soul, the power, the emotion..no other band can equal them in
these 3 vital areas.
Of course I've seen others (@ 200) at the last count, and others
which have come close include :-
Rush , Wembley 29/04 the business when it comes to a marrying of
superb musicianship and thought provoking/entertaining visual effects.
Dylan, the man , the voice , the enigma...on the '84 tour I went
primarily to see Santana , but Dylan just knocked me out.He was
even better with Tom Petty and co. at Wembley last October.
The Icicle Works , a very,very underrated band but they do burn
live as well as writing some of the best rock songs of the past
5 years.
John Cougar Mellencamp....Great !!
U2 on the War tour,but not since
Gang of Four/The Beat at Gateshead '82 , brilliant festival music
Van Halen (well Dave Lee Roth really) Donnington '84 very amusing
as well as being technically brilliant.
Various acts that I wish I never include :-
Springsteen '85 (cue howls of protest) what does this guy have that
2000,000,000 others don't ??
Echo and the Bunnymen , Wembley '87 the stage swamped their minor
talent.
The Alarm, they may alarm someone, but it sure isn't me.
That's all for now.

Sorry but 'no' I don't have regular contact with him .He comes

I wish I had some good news to tell ,but I don't . As I said
,at the time I spoke with him he wasn't to be taken seriously.

|
Sorry, Graham, but I beg to differ with you, re: Erasure, Hammy
Odeon, 1988. I had never liked them till my friend bought tickets
for the gig in May. I thought they were superb live, even if I did
wonder why they were doing a cover of Dollar's `Oh L'amour'...
later to be told by an Erasure freak that they recorded it in 1985,
and it got to No1 on Europe!!
Woops Victoria!!
