The Sandman Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 It was sited behind the current station entrance round about where the steps are, up to the new shopping bit I think, Dunno about it being a replcement for the dreamland gig, but it was their first solo tour after they fell oot wae the Clash, after the P.A. fiasco, never done any of them much harm in the long term, Although there was allways some slight ill feeling after that. There was a big Chuff Chuff station as well as the underground............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeeez! that takes me back, the gig was either where the guy is standing at the middle lamp post, or just to the right, out of shot, correct me if I'm wrong.

One of my mate Chads' claims to fame, is that Weller shoved him out the way on his way back on, as did Johnny Rotten on another occasion, but I'll save that one for another day.

Mrs SFS Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 There must be a thread worth a top five worst gigs. The WORST gig I saw was The Saw Doctors, last Satuday night @ Barrowlands. The place was full of JJJs, all kidding on they knew the words to every song, when in fact, they (sort of) knew the choruses and threw lots of beer containers into the crowd. Two highlights for me, one when I couldn't be bothered pushing through the manky cnuts, I pished into my empty plastic glass and lobbed it into a throng of pogo-ing, hooped tops. The second was whilst walking up Regent St. towards Central Station with Ms SFS and passed three or four guys, who on seeing the St.Mirren badge on my coat, burst into a very loud rendition of 'Oh when the Saints' as they walked off in the opposite direction.

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 1. Peter Gabriel - Madison Square Garden, November 2002 2. Alice Cooper - SECC, December '89 3. AC/DC - SECC, December 2000 4. James - Barrowlands, March '97 5. T in the Park '99 The above is just an approximation. It will probably change tomorrow.

They (Madness) were resplendant in Brown DM's, kilts and string vests. Wasn't really looking forward to it but they put on a great show and have always had a soft spot for them since.

FifeSaint Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 My 1970s selection for old gits everywhere: The Who - Parkhead, Summer 1974 Highlight: Keith Moon's drumming - just awesome, Townsend's white jump suit and SAHB support set. The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Glasgow Apollo, Christmas 1975 Highlight: One of the seven(!) sold out nights and Cheek to Cheek with polystyrene snow falling from above the stage - heaven, I'm in heaven etc etc The Clash - Glasgow Apollo, December 1977 Highlight: Some of the band (Jones/Simonon?) arrested outside in side alley, trying to break up a fight - supposed to have led to the B-side "Jail Guitar Doors" being written? Or was it "The Prisoner"? The Ramones - Glasgow QMU, 1978 Highlight: Talking to Dee Dee (kinda) - Hey Dee Dee! - Yeah? - You awright? - Yeah! The Jam - Strathclyde Union, Autumn 1978 Highlight: The "Apocalypse Tour" with Paul Weller adolescent jump kicks and ferocious guitar playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSaint Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Yaldi the Skids at the bunglaow was the best gig in the history of the universe well said that man was anyone else there- and (long shot) anyone got any pix Just seen this after the post above. I was at the Bungalow that night - incredible gig - packed out. Had the Skids not just played on the roof of HMV in Glasgow to mark its opening? Recently saw Richard Jobson standing on the platform in Inverkeithing station but didn't have the brassneck to go up and ask him if he remembered that gig! I also recall seeing the "Dead Pop Stars" era Altered Images and, I think, Josef K at the Bungalow. Rock'n'roll - phew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
