An evening thread?
I'd have added my tuppenceworth to QOTW this week but I have no photos of HMS (hopeless money sink) Nameless to share at the moment.

So - band you wished you'd seen live but didn't? 6 Music reminds me that despite their anthemic rants Sham 69 were about the most accomplished band of the era.

oooh, lots of things
Mostly some of those grunge bands when they were still young. I'd see Pearl Jam now, but it wouldn't be the same.

Oh! I need to remember to brag to Gonz that I'm going to see Scrubious Pip sometime soon

I'm sort of dreading the inevitable Smiths reunion.
Never saw them first time round but I love them.

Trouble is it'll be full of Carling drinking "ingerlund" types - the reason I avoided the Stone Roses stuff this year.

Tangerine Dream, circa 1975 or 1981.
Regarding your post in the last thread, was that in Bierley the post-war estate or East Bierley the little village next door? Agents often lie about the exact location if it's near somewhere dodgy, like they'll often say places are in Shelf when they're actually in Buttershaw.

If it's the latter I'm genuinely surprised, I always got the impression it was Tory Central round there. Though the streets I was on about are a mile or two nearer the city centre, just by the ring road.

East Bierley the 1990's estate
It's been fucked over big time - over-invested by small minded ambitious people expecting Chavford to make money.

You're between Holmewood and, I suppose, West Bowling.

Some of the early black metal i'd love to have seen in its pure form, in a back street bar on potato amps.
As well as the scene when bands like motley crue were trashing their way through venues. I've seen some of my heros live, including crue, and it was amazing, but I don't it would be a patch on seeing them in their heyday.

1992/3, Glasgow. Chuck Berry.
My best mate asked me to go see them with him, but I was proper potless. I know Berry was a noncey old perv, but I still wish I'd gone to see him.

so, Friday evening thread, then? It's going well so far.

I've seen most of the bands I want to see
Wouldn't have minded seeing Nirvana but I never had the money in that era.

In other news, I'm off up to the Midlands for a friends Birthday at the weekend, it's been on for a while but I got no reply to my "reply to all" saying I'd come up but needed a bed. Just texted and got a reply from my brother's missus saying, "That's fine, [brother] was supposed to text you but he forgot."

Okay, but this is easily the dozenth time I've had to contact his missus to find out what's going on. I suspect some passive-aggressive shit going on there. I think my brother's a top bloke but I am beginning to suspect the feeling is not mutual.

You are being too imaginative here. Maybe try rolling a 15 or more on a D20 then going larping after reading a lot. That might get you some IRL love and respect.

I've already seen them a couple of times, But I'd liked to have seen Chthonic at Bloodstock this year.
And I missed Disturbed at Download last year because I was so miserably wet that I went back to my hotel to get a hot bath and some dry clothes before getting back to the site before Rob Zombie came on.
Also System Of A Down that year, because I was right at the front of the stage that Alice Cooper was going to be on and couldn't be arsed to move to the other stage. Glad I didn't too, because I was expecting him to do the exact same show as Sonisphere the previous year and he didn't.

Bit late to add to this, but...
A couple of months after little tangle was born Davy Graham played here. Having a small baby in the house meant that going out to gigs was not really an option.
I would really have liked to see him, despite reports I've heard since that he was long past his best - he died not long after.

I've still yet to see Dylan, although this is likely to be expensive and disappointing I'd like to tick him off the list before he dies.
