Far too many too list but the Clash at Belle Vue, Buzzcocks at the Mayflower club and Buzzcocks, Siouxsie and Penetration at Belle Vue along with the rock against racism gig in 78 will always stand out as memorable gigs.

I was there....
The support wasn't brilliant, although Heart were okay, from what I remember. Julian Cope got bottled during the Teardrops' set but what did he expect, having slagged off Queen/their fans in the run up to the gig? Dozy ****. That concert was supposed to be at the Meccano Set on the edge of town, but the local council wouldn't issue a licence for the concert. Same with the Milton Keynes gig the following week. Pretty sure that was supposed to be at Highbury. The cost of the ticket; £9. Fucking hilarious. You Wouldn't get a soft drink for that now, at a top notch stadium gig. How much was it to get into Metallica at the Emptihad last summer?
By the way; you're right. It was absolutely roasting that day at L***s. Same weekend the Pope was in Heaton Pk.

Yeah - I always remembered Julian Cope getting bottled off stage - we all pissed ourselves laughing then the promoter - was it Harvey Goldsmith? - came out and told us no-one else was coming out so we had to stand there for over an hour in the glare of the sun clutching a tin of coke that was getting warmer and warmer.......
Yeah - this was 29th May 82 and the Pope was a couple of days later - the then Mrs was with me at Elland Road but I declined the chance to return the favour at Heaton Park - I know it was John Paul but without George and Ringo I thought the performance might be lacking something.....
