When a band hits the peak and is caught live on camera

[chesterbells]

Going to watch Hackett Lamb tour in October, taking my dad who got me into Genesis and my lad who I’ve got into Genesis (his number 1 Spotify group for last 2 years whilst at Uni!!)

Brilliant pal. I’m going to that tour as well and really looking forward to it. He normally plays a selection of solo tracks too, which are also excellent :-)

I followed them everywhere that era and always ended up backstage sharing spliffs.

That period was the best for me gig wise. Roses in Widnes Warrington, Mondays at Hacienda (Hillsboro benefit gig), Roses at Hacienda, then at International (day we blew it against Bournemouth), always good support bands (Dub Sex, King of the Slums). Inspirals in back of an articulated lorry in Albert Square. There seemed to be a gig on every week, Affleck’s Palace began to really take off, then all the Joe Bloggs stuff. Great days

When a like isn't enough......

If that's at Salford Uni, I'm in there somewhere in the middle to the right

I can’t believe they never zoomed in on you. What a missed opportunity. Their loss.

You’re absolutely right. Manchester was at its musical peak but it hadn’t caught on nationwide yet. But locals knew and it was a thing. There was that “Manchester North of England” tape with a lot of the bands on. James were hot at that time too. Smiths and New Order had gone big. Afflex and eastern block on a Saturday was a centre of it all, Piccadilly records for gig tickets.

Great times to be a teenager.

It was 22 years before I became a national treasurer after featuring on a top UK TV quiz show so I forgive them.

For audience reaction, this is difficult to beat. Glastonbury was unbeatable when it was like this in the old days, watching the coverage these days it all seems a bit too polite.

Was pretty damn good at move festival, lancs cricket ground a few years ago

Not a band I was particularly into, although I did see them twice in concert and it has to be said, they put a bloody good show on.

I would regard ‘The Joshua Tree’ to be the peak of U2, however, I believe this concert at Red Rock in 1983 is what made America sit up and notice.

Brilliant gig that. Would love to have been there.
