Got Miles Kane lined up 2 weeks on Saturday in Glasgow, Happy Mondays 4th May in Glasgow, The Enemy 25th May in Glasgow and The View again in Glasgow 12th July. Have to say that The View gig was better than the Beady Eye one especially as Kyle Falconer (lead singer) played Don't Look Back In Anger at the end. Top nights.
The Worst, woody used to knock about with the West Gorton hoolie Blues, crombie and staprest etc.Mad Eyed Screamer said:Glory Hunter said:Anyone on here go to The Festival of the 10th Summer at the GMEX - meant to be punk's 10th anniversary so must have been 86 - The Fall, The Smiths, New Order, Pete Shelley and John Cale - plus plenty of others - mad intense beautiful day, perhaps I dreamt it but it's never been better than that day - it's up there with the 5-1 and Gillingham
It was indeed a great day - remember Derek Hatton coming out on crutches and someone getting up and twatting him?
We sat in the seats near the front at the side (right side looking at the stage) and I'm ashamed to say I got a few Mexican waves going later on!
Also Howard Devoto, Flag of Convenience, Sandie Shaw, Wayne Fontana, OMD and The Worst were on.
The Smiths were a disappointment that day - not the fault of the band, it's just their jingly jangly light sound was lost in the cavernous venue and also they came on around 5pm so it was still light too.
The following day was The Smiths at Salford Uni - my all time best ever gig and the closest I've ever been to being at a football game when at a gig! It was Mad!
