I also saw him with Los Straitjackets 2/3 years ago at Glastonbury, but this time it was just him and his guitar. Quite a contrast to some of the other shows on the Pyramid!

#4 in my old tickets series - Queen & Quo at Maine Road in 1986…quite the double bill. 
Worked in M/cr at the time a little trip down the road from the office.

No ticket collection 😁 I saw Queen at KGH as support band to Mott The Hoople. 1972/3?

Was anyone at the Oasis gig last night? Thinking about it, you'll probably still be in bed if you were!

Massive hysteria for this reunion, especially from a new generation as far as I can tell. I'm looking forward to going myself, but I'm not going over the top. The rest of our group........ completly Mad Fer it!

Oasis were my 3rd favourite band of that genre after Pulp and Super Furry Animals, but the clips I've seen of Cardiff look like they're on form.

#5 Trip to the NEC with 3 uni mates to see the Canadian prog exponents. 
First of what would prove to be many Rush concerts over the years. 🇨🇦

#6 Dire Straits were in the midst of a residency at Wembley Arena & moved down the road to play Live Aid on the Saturday.

I was at Heaton Park on Weds - wasn't sure it would live up to the hype (nor my memories of Maine Rd and Loch Lomond) but I was wrong.  Still recovering - physically and emotionally.  What a fucking night.  Band on top form, sounded as good as ever.  The crowd was brilliant - no trouble/knobheads - just 80000 people and voices unified.  The only gig I've seen to come close for that communal spirit was the Roses in 2012, but I think this pipped even that.

No worries.  Are you going?  If so, you'll have a belter.  One for the ages.

I'm going yes, looking forward to it. 

I'll be honest, I'm intrigued how they have managed to captive a whole new generation of fans, its unheard of in my experience. I’m going to sound really old now, but I guess it says a lot about the current music scene.

But lets face it, I still see Oasis as having bollox, English, lad and football culture crossed with rock n roll, this country at its best and my God we need something to cling on to during these times.

I guess it's easy to say Oasis are better than everyone else at the minute, but one could easily argue, that Oasis have 2 good albums and Fontaines D.C. are massive, having a huge impact and already have 4 storming albums.

Can't wait to see them in August.

I feel like it's far too easy to look back, than look forward and nostalgia is a lovely comfort blanket, but music has only ever progressed by things changing and things being done differently, not re-hashing the same things over and over again.
