Strange day all round, think it was first gig after Moon died so didn't seem right - all tubes cancelled after gig so thousands had to sleep rough for the night around stadium. Good man for Bowie (saw Glass Spider at Wembley).Couldn't go ro that m8,didn't know it kicked off though
I thank uStrange day all round, think it was first gig after Moon died so didn't seem right - all tubes cancelled after gig so thousands had to sleep rough for the night around stadium. Good man for Bowie (saw Glass Spider at Wembley).
Saw Bowie there , your right , terrible venue miles from anywhere, it was Bowie so it didn’t really matter then
I was at Roundhey too. Still got the ticket. No hiding place from the sun!Springsteen in Roundhay Park the day Boris Becker won at Wimbledon ....it was a bastard to get out of though
Queen at Elland Road....shit support from memory it was only Joan Jett, The Teardrop Explodes and Heart - fucking boiling mind
Elton John in Leeds and the Ramones twice
5 timesSome of you lucky people seeing bands like The Smiths. I can only dream of that.
Weller came on and they did Butterfly CollecterI saw a Manchester v Cancer gig at The MEN in about 2005 or so that had a few acts on including Ian Brown, Echo and the Bunnymen and some others. Noel Gallagher did an hour of acoustic Oasis songs which was pretty special. He did stuff that Oasis never bothered with, Dont' Go Away etc.
Was there that night tooBuzzcocks at Apollo 89 , after they’d been away for a while.
My one and only Bowie gig. Most people around me were bored rigid (me included) as he didnt do any of the hits until either Rebel Rebel or Gene Genie at the end and that was it. Think the Glass Spider was a double album and he just went through that on the night.Bowie at Maine Road Glass Spider Tour,both nights
