Support band you saw that blew away the headliner

[Mancitydoogle]

Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes supporting Graham Parker and The Rumour at the Palace Theatre

The Water Boys supporting U2 at The Apollo

Queen supporting Mott The Hoople although MTH were great

Mink Deville supporting Dr Feelgood at The Free trade hall, again DF were also good

Widowmaker supporting Nazareth at The Free Trade Hall, hated Nazareth so Widowmaker we’re onto a winner!

Adam Granduciel main man in The War on Drugs has produced Sam Fender’s new album, should be a great gig.

Ah, interesting to know, I wondered what the link was.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Few year back at the proper OT Liam Gallagher was blown away by Ashcroft

Opera House. One of Morrissey’s best gigs according to the great man HIMSELF .
@MCFCTrick was there too

Ferry ?

Agree on that. Bowie was awful, well not awful he just played the entire Glass Spider album that about 4 people had heard……

I might be completely in the minority here but that was the first time i saw Bowie and i have this sentimental attachment to that album, there are far worse albums in the Bowie discography with 'Tonight' being the prime example and i've never warmed to 'Let's Dance'. The greatest hits show 3 years later at Maine Road was a great night out as well.

Ferry ?

No. I think he got the 256 bus from Stretford.

Thank you! Widowmaker came up in a conversation recently about bassist Bob Daisley who went on to Ozzy's Blizzard Of Oz, and Luther Grosvenor aka Ariel Bender of Mott. Said I had seen them supporting some band at the FTH, but couldn't recall who. Nazareth. Cheers. :-)

Your welcome, I really liked the first album but Steve Ellis left before the second so I never listened to it.
