Yeah I was at the NEC gig when Townsend came on. The Apollo gig was the same tour and had been rescheduled from the March. He did 2 nights and one ended up clshing with the FA Cup final replay v Spurs. Think it was 1st time a replay had ever been scheduled for a Thursday night and it had to be the night I had a ticket for Springsteen arrgghh !!! So ended up selling my 5th row gig ticket so I could go to the replay and buying a rear stalls ticket off a tout for the Bruce gig on the Wednesday. And then we go and lose to sodding Spurs :-(Concur with that - he'd done Hammersmith in 75 and not gone down too well (as he perceived it), came back in 81 touring The River and conquered the world. I was at the NEC and Townsend came on for the encore(s), which was odd as The Who famously don't encore. Sprinsteen does about 10 (or did in those days)

I'm adding The Dead South to this list. Saw them this year and they were brilliant.
For voice Michael Macdonald is as good.George Michael was the best white soul singer bar none.
I live in hope that Hugh and JJ will resolve their issues.
That would have been Black and White or the Raven album mate.
I remember buying the Raven album from there in 3D hologram sleeve. Can't remember where I bought the Black and White album. Either Virgin, underground market or possibly Robinson's records.Recall going into town to buy Black and White and ‘feeling up’ the album to ensure the free white 33 Walk on By ep was inside. HMV turned up trumps.
That made me chuckle :)George Michael was the best white soul singer bar none.
Soft twat I fired off all over the stalls, my daughter looked upset as we were in the balcony. But that version of Nothing Compares is now on a total different level.I saw Chris Cornell on four occasions.
First was at the M.E.N Arena with Ausioslave. Was a bit of a dull gig.
Second was at The Lowry for an acoustic set. Brilliant.
Third was at The Apollo with a reformed Soundgarden. Wasn't as great as I expected but at least I got to see my second favourite band perform.
Fourth at the Bridgewater Hall for another acoustic set. Magnificent! He covered Prince's Nothing Compares 2 U and I nearly came.
Greatest vocalist ever.

Completely. you obviously haven't listened to much of his work. Faith, Listen Without Prejudice and Older, all fantastic albums. He was up there with Prince and Michael Jackson in terms of record sales and awards. His voice is just unbelievable. Aretha does not duet with any fool.Are you actually being serous pal ?
Dusty SpingfieldAre you actually being serous pal ?
