When ever they mentioned them ever , we got fed up of them talking about them “ shut up man , they are f***ing shite ! What man sings Jolene?

Not been for years myself mate but used to love live music, from a pub to a festival. I’ve seen The Who, Motörhead, Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters a couple of times, Muse, Weller, Bad Manners, Madness loads of times, Morchiba, David Gray (the wife’s choice !) , Toploader, Blue Tones, Wheatus to name but a few, the absolute best I ever seen was Neil Young & Crazy Horse……mind blowing ! Id personally love to do Tomorrowland before I croak but I can’t see that happening…..never know 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brill that mate! You did right keeping hold of them. Great to look back on and have a little reminisce about good times. I've got pretty much all my old gig stubs and also a few from some of the big footy games I went to. None going as far back as '77 though, I was only 1 then! Lol.. I might did them out on one of shitty winter days ahead just for a laugh! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
