Classical thorough to punk Ive seen it princess ... I can give you a list of my gigs already booked in for this year if you like , I know you like to keep tabs on me sugar plum What in 2007 - I was there! You could have spilt my pint because some wannabe punk did, even you would have to admit that thirty years on they were well past their sell by date, even they said it was just for the money?

Barryd999 Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Take no notice of Mr Birdbrain. The only bands he has ever been to see are The Village People and The Pet Shop boys and the only reason he went to see the latter was because he thought they were John Noakes and Peter Purves. Some of us are proper Rock Gods on here. Well actually I think its just me. (lol) Best venue for seeing bands used to be the old Riverside in Newcastle. Best and funniest punk gig I saw there was 999. They had a bit of a reputation for attracting "lively" audiences and I remember this skinhead climbing to the top of the speaker stack to do a dive into the audience and everyone just moving out of the way. There was a already an ambulance on standby outside luckily. You haven't been to a proper gig though until you have seen Hawkwind and Devo play live off the back of a flat bed truck in the now long banned Travellers field at Glastonbury at 3am.

Now I would have loved to see Devo. I saw a couple of bands at the Riverside but in the late 80's (lass I was going out with was a Geordie) I did see Martin Stephenson and the Daintees there do an amazing set including a full congo round the outside - true crowd participation.

The Travellers field was a real experience back in the late 80s. I think it was stopped in 91. Basically in the few days before the main festival got going you walked down a track late on about quarter of a mile or so from the main festival and it was what can only be likened to something like Barter Town out of the Mad Max films. no rozzers, no rules and you wouldnt want to be there sober. You never knew who was going to be on, there would just be rumours and hearsay then out of the blue you had bands like Hawkwind just sparking up on the back the temporary stage which was an old flat bed truck. Last time I Was there was 1990 I think and there is a photo of me somewhere just covered in mud from head to toe. I dont think we even got back to our tents that night. Glasto looks totally lame now in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combat Rock (Album) by the Clash is one of my favourite albums of all time. I got more into guitar and keys music and new wave though really. Tubeway army was probably my favourite group ever and bands like The Cure and the Cult. A mixture of guitars and synths. One of the best live bands I ever saw was "Big Country".
