I suppose Purple Mountain would fit this thread.

Fucker killed himself the night before the tour was meant to start.

RIP Berman you crazy man

Don't remember hearing about that. But I also wasn't aware of an upstairs vicar street venue.

I did see Murder City Devils a few times before though

That venue was called the Shelter.

Around 89 or so I heard that Youth of Today wanted to play Belfast,but it was turned down as whoever was asked to do it thought it was Warzone( almost as frustrating)

Still irks me to this day

The Shelter was next door to Vicar St - not upstairs. I saw Opeth there. It was tiny and I remember the only place we could find to stand was on stage.

Yeah I know but I'm 99% sure it's the venue being referred to.

I’ve never heard of an upstairs venue either so I think you’re right. Is the Shelter now the back bar?

That I don't know. I never made it to a gig in the Shelter.

 

[Anthony]

Played there 2 or 3 times, or maybe it was 1 or 2 times. It was ok.

I think it is. I think I remember being at a 100% dynamite night there a million years ago. Don’t think I was ever at any proper gigs there though

I never knew Palace played here, he’s such a little baby man there!

Yeah, no way that photo was taken in the Vicar Street Shelter. That's the version of Palace Brothers from the 1993 tour @old put on, with Henrique Prince on violin, and Vicar Street didn't open until 1998

Oldham did play there with Pajo, night before they played the big room with Paul O'Reilly.

 

[Unknown Convict]

Caspar Brotzman played Dublin I believe,and I didn't know until I think years later.

In The Shelter.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

In The Shelter.

Damn!!!!

 

[Unknown Convict]

Damn!!!!

A memorable show. Unspeakable things were done to innocent breeze blocks.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

You're supposed to say it was shit.
