[nlgbbbblth]

i have a bootleg of that mcgonigles show here, can upload if anyones interested.
was a great gig. particularly the dude that kept shouting "duuullluuuxxxxx" at the floppy haired bass player.

stick it up magetize. would love to relive it.

I remember this gig, and others from when I was a young wan, in great detail. It's the more recent ones I have difficulty remembering.

Frequent conversation between me and boyfriend:
"Band x sound like they might be good, want to go and see them?"
"We already saw them last year supporting Band Y."

Anyone going to the London version of this gig?

A friend of mine lost his shoe in a similar crush at a Wedding Present gig in Chester sometime in 1989. During Take Me.

He didn't find it afterwards.

I met a guy years later (he was from your neck of the woods actually) who claimed that The House Of Love was his first gig and he'd lost his shoe. I reckon he'd heard my mates story and decided it was cool. I mean whats the chances of 2 people losing shoes at a gig like that? Couldn't happen.

I think I bootlegged that gig too but it sounded like crap, even more so than usual, as I was bouncing about. No idea where the casette is either. Probably in the attic.

I'd a pretty complete HOL collection - I even thought Babe Rainbow was a great album - though Audience With The Mind was patchy.

Babe Rainbow was excellent. Audience is very dull. At least was the last time I played it.

Days Run Away wasn't bad.

wonder who that was?

must be a tall tale, chances of that happening twice at same gig is very remote.

Really like the guitar playing on shine on....nice

yea, one of his last shows with them too...before the recent 'reunion'
he looks about 17 in the photos..

Great bootleg, though it's funny how 'Never' sounds exactly like U2

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Anyone get tickets?
I think I'll pay on the door - hopefully should be ok.

any reports?

 

[nlgbbbblth]

tonight!!

 

[magnetize]

brilliant gig! tis all about bickers.
empty though...

 

[nlgbbbblth]

really enjoyed that.
They sounded great.
Bickers looked younger than most people there.

Very sparse attendance - 150 max I'd say. €25 would be a bit steep for some people and we were trying to figure out who the promoters were.

Album sounded deadly played in order. Fabulous encore choices - Flow, Welt, Real Animal, Shine On and of course Destroy The Heart.
Nice to see the two of them come back for a second one. They certainly looked happy.
