First The Smiths National Stadium 1986

Last can't remember

 

[ronan]

Stone Temple Pilots, SFX '94.
first time i ever got drunk too.
i remember the whole thing as brilliant.

last gig was Television on saturday.
i was really disappointed.
so much poorer than 2001, when they were absolutely fuckin brilliant.
when they broke down the songs + started gettin all bluesy, it had a tendency to get quite, ahem, shite.
although i hate saying that.

and, c'mon....covering Wild Thing.
badly, i might add.
unforgivable.

That would be either Dickie Rock at the Gaiety Theatre or Shakin' Stevens in the National Stadium. Probably the Cabra lad now that I think of it - the interweb confirms that Shaky played Dublin on his Spring '81 tour.

First metal gig was Megadeth in the Olympic Ballroom - 10th May 1988, first punk/hardcore gig was Ripcord in McGonagles around the same time... but it's probably too late to save my reputation now, isn't it?

I'll get me coat.

First - some godawful English indie band, I think it may have been The Family Cat, in the New Cross Venue in London, summer '92.
Most recent - Ben Folds, Enmore Theatre, Sydney. Bliss.

Oh dear....mine was ahem..the Cure, in the RDS in 89, with oh god...All About Eve supporting.

My 2nd was the Pixies and the Pale Saints in the Stadium in 1990 I think.

He he, I was at that too, at the height of my dodgy Gothness, just back from London and feeling mightily surperior in my London Goth clobber. I thought All About Eve rocked and I wanted to shag Tim Bricheno.

Oh dearie, dearie, dearie me.

I had a great night there. Shelleyan Orphan rocked and we got to see AAE's Julianne Regan's see-through dress.

Three hours of The Cure. And "Faith" went on for ages.

Fucking magic

It's excellent isn't it?

 

[silo]

first 'proper' gig (real live american males playing to lots of people who were paying for the privilege- and one girl): smashing pumpkins in the sfx; the night with ash supporting. then my second gig was the next day with the soundgarden sunstroke thing (yes, soundgarden were astonishingly shite). also went to see the pumpkins in the point a couple of years later, someone got killed, and i remember it being a worse crowd crush at soungarden.

unless you count christy moore when i was about twelve.
