Brid Spa in 2005 was one of my favourite Moz gigs as Mrs1BC who was high on morphine at the time (medical reason) launch herself on the stage beating away anyone in her path! Fucking hilarious.

Any youtube clip of it? lol

None of that fancy Youtube nonsense at that gig i can tell thee. :-)


Couple of Japanese girls dressed as Geishas at that gig MES if you like that kind of thing?

ey up, it took 5 pages for NF to join the thread, what took you so long?

Just been trying my best to find the three slowest horses at today's races mate.
I loved the Smiths,and saw them countless times - I even like some of the earlier solo stuff,but I just think he's past his sell by date.
If he made a great record,then I would be happy,but it just hasn't happened since the odd track off You Are The Quarry,and he increasingly reminds me of Elvis when he went fat and did the scampi and chips circuit.

I think a fair few of us (privately) know that, but what alternative is there!

Spot on the pair of you.

It is very hard to let your heroes go.
For most of my adulthood I thought that Nick Cave was the second coming,from the first Birthday Party gigs onwards,and would travel any distance to see him.
But then around the Abbatoir Blues/Lyre Of Orpheus tour, it suddenly hit me like a runaway train that he had lost it,and was going through the motions.
Strangely enough,(and I know this is far from unique with artists),his decline came when he stopped taking drugs,had a family,sold more records than ever,and was financially comfortable.
I will always buy anything he does,as you do with Morrissey,but I know deep down that the thrill is gone.
Nothing ever lasts forever.

Oh yes,they were in the same hotel as ourselves.

Rather surreal at brekky seeing the pair of them in all their regalia and then they tucked into a full English.

The Ladyboys were at the next table;-)

What alternative is there MES?

Back end of September, the Ramsbottom Festival... the true God that is Roddy Frame is on.

Now there is someone who can bash out a tune!

But I take the point about fallen heroes, my music world is absolutely full of them. People I would have crawled over broken glass to see I now wouldn't open the back curtains to watch them

That'd be quite a good thread... fallen rock hereos!

Peter Gabriel, Paul Weller, Sting, Todd Rundgren, Boo Hewerdine, Jon Anderson, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Steely Dan, Simple Minds, Frankie Boyle...

Soulboy, I was talking with a friend the other day about Aztec Camera / Roddy Frame...... agree completely (goes to Frame's website to see if there is a US tour ;)

John Robb's opinion is null and void. Have you ever seen him in Goldblade?;-)

He should stick to kicking the bag heads down his communal stairwell.

One thing I will say in Morrisseys defence, fame hasn't really changed him, he was always a bit weird and opinionated, even when he was pretty much an unknown.
