Concerts / Gigs: greatest and worst

Not exactly a pairing:
U2
The Pretenders
The Mission
The Fall


But then, the whole tour had some odd backup groups throughout....

 

Saw the Fall in 1993 in NYC. Chilling show. Amazing they are still putting on shows.

 

I was just chatting to the guy who runs the insurance company downstairs, I know he's a music fan so I mentioned saturday....turns out he was in a band who supported the fall in the mid 90s! Only one step removed from the classic 'I was in the fall' tshirt, I was well impressed. What's more he said mark swings both ways and was aggressively hitting on their guitarist! I wouldn't have pegged it

 

Chilling?

 

Doub was left shaken and quivering

 

I was left a bit like that by saturday. He literally looked like grampa marsh from South Park, half way vegetative, barely moving, gumsy, making gutteral noises, staring vacantly. I guess getting wheeled around by a massive drag queen was his attempt to add a bit of pizzaz

 

Sounds SELF-INDULGENT

In other words, you thought it was a great show...what music and live-performance is all about.

 

Away n lie in your own pish ya dobber

 

Hut staggering towards us like the slow mo shootout in "Taxi Driver", I'LL KILL YA, I'LL KILL YA, fingers blown off

 

You talking to me?

 

Yes. Don't know if it was something I smoked that night or not, but found their music kind of horrifying. Superchunk had opened, which was the only reason I was there.
