Toepoke Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Never seen New Order live but I'd heard they were very hit and miss. Was there not a show at the Barras where they walked off after 20 minutes?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricky6 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Heard they started to play "World in motion" engurland World Cup anthem at either the Barras or Academy and got quickly shut down...lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbroath55 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Went to see Page & Plant about 25 years ago in the hope that they`d do all the Led Zep favourites. They didn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hawthorne Heights Terrible MTV "emo" band who I'm almost certain used recordings instead of live backup screaming. Unforgivable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgow jock Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Frankie Goes To Hollywood- Glasgow Apollo 1984 (Only thing that numbed the pain was a half bottle of voddy poured into a two litre bottle of coke ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Rush at the SECC about 5 years ago. We'll agree to disagree there! I'm struggling to think of a gig I've left thinking i shouldn't have bothered. Most shambolic was possibly Alex Chilton from Big Star at the old 13th Note. I'd seen him other times and he was great but his band had been cobbled together and were still rehearsing when we got to the venue. Francis from the Fannies was drumming and had an absolute mare.

When was that roughly?Can't believe I missed it (although doesn't sound like I missed much...). After the game in Dublin we went to Cork and were in the Hi-Bee bar - barman was playing Big Star and Gene Clark - I was impressed!

Martin63 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Jist watchin an 80s program on vintage tv temptation by new order brilliant song but mind gaun tae see them in 83 et tiffanys a think there tape machines kept breaking doon they wur shit I was there too - April '83. New Order live were always very hit or miss. I've seen them much worse than this gig! Worst for me was Simple Minds c.1985 at Hammersmith Odeon. About 2 minutes into a song I only then realised then that they were playing 'The American' . Awful - I looked at my girlfriend and asked 'are you enjoying this?'. 'No' was the answer, so we walked out. The only time in 38 years of gig going that I've walked out on a band. Nicest gig surprise was the day of the England v Scotland game in May 1988. I went to see the Sugarcubes after the match at the Cambridge Theatre and just after the doors had opened the Jesus and Mary Chain ambled onstage, played 4 songs and then ambled off. Stuart Cosgrove was sat in front of me. A nice, unexpected surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Finlay Quaye at The Garage around 98/99. Played Sunday Shining 3 times and Ultrastimulation 4 times! And he only played about a dozen songs in total!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Och Aye Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 My mate, who's wife is always complaining that he never listens, surprised her by taking her to see her favourite band. She was not happy when Supergrass came on. Unfortunately she loved Supertramp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
