Course they fucking do! Securicor was one of my fave tracks.

Thanks for that mate; )

My mum at the time worked for securicor and wanted to listern to it !
I managed to put her off thankfully

 

[maccadon]

Excellent Russell Hastings ? Is as good as Weller and they play a good set pretty green ,etc and the more well known stuff

Think will give them a go next time they're up my way then.

Queen, Maine rd

I listened to em from the window of St Mary's hospital as my mrs gave birth to our daughter

 

[cptaidan88]

Kings of Leon on their first tour in either 2003 or early 2004. They were great back then but they've been shite since the 3rd album.

Then saw the Doves the next night.

Saw a lot of bands over the next 5 years after that but then City got into Europe and I prioritised that - now I'm lucky to get to a gig once a year.

Last gig was Foals though which was incredible.

Those giggs at Maine Rd were brilliant, seemed to be warm at every one ,carnival atmosphere until the Oasis ones which were carnage .

Saw him at Bingley hall in 1978, looking back it was a shit venue but at the time he could do no wrong in my eyes.

I can imagine, never listened to a Bowie album but loved all his singles so the sound and vision tour was perfect for me

Honestly you should, what I'd give to be able to listen to his albums for the very first time again......like walking up the Kippax steps seeing the pitch for the first time...or your first shag.
