something something cheap seats

I went to see a Neds gig at Wolverhampton Civic Hall
when they were years past their "popular" prime. WCH has a capaity of several thousand and there were maybe 800 or so there. It's the only time I've ever seen a 3 deep, 200 wide mosh pit with nothing at all behind it. It's a lot of dedication to music that can only be described as screaming over the sound of three bass guitars being thrown down a metal waste disposal chute.

I saw The Wonder Stuff and Jesus Jones at that very same venue about 12 years ago
Christ that was awful.

I rather like Jesus Jones

The thing is
Wonderstuff were a pretty good live experience, in the early 90s, if you were 18. Even Neds and Poppies were OK with the right crowd

I would imagine with them and me having aged 10 years in 2000, all the appeal would have gone.

I didn't really like them much in the first place
I only went to the reunion tour to accompany a mate.
Whatever appeal they may have had was almost certainly gone though.
