Gig of the year?

Post by motorsmell »

Can see this being plenty ££££ however last chance saloon I reckon for a lineup of this magnitude, Iggy can still do it as can Blondie, gen sex was interesting on you tube and I'd rather it was the Profs with Jones but seeing as I fucked off the pistols reunions might be my last chance for cook and Jones action!

I saw the Pistols play Crystal Palace. Fucking horrible venue. Great line up though.

Damn, this does look like it'll be a blast, shit venue or otherwise.

Liquor store, mugging spree, whatever it took. I told the wife about the gig and she's refused to take "completely unfeasible" for an answer, so we'll crash on her mum's couch and put the tix on an overburdened card.

Booked the fuck in. I'd have considered myself lucky to have a chance to see any of these acts individually, let alone at one go. Really reasonable cost, too, considering. Now to rob a liquor store.

I was also at that Pistols gig. And it is a horrible venue. There was a very tense/unpleasant/violent atmosphere that afternoon/evening… Not in my top gig list for sure!

I went with a mate (Paul) who wore his West Ham football shirt. In the crowd I turned away from him for a minute to chat with someone else and when I looked back at him he was covered in blood I asked him what happened and he told me some guy just walked up to him and punched him in the face. He pointed out the guy to me so I grabbed the guy and asked him why he hit Paul and he said something like "crap shirt". At this point I lost my shit completely and smacked him one and we end up on the floor wrestling and trading blows. Unbeknownst to me his mates were there and they started to stamp on my head. I grabbed a leg and pulled another guy to the floor by which time it was now three against one. But I'm a tough fucker and got back up on my feet and fought them off and they turned and ran into the crowd like a bunch of cowards.

This guy said to me after he had witnessed them going through the crowd punching people at random. Not a good start to the afternoon that was plagued by shit sound. When the Pistols came on and played their cover of Silver Machine the sound was just fading in and out across the place sounding crap. Not a patch on when they played in '96 at Finsbury Park.

Yeah it was to be honest. But that gig felt like it had been chucked together at the last minute. Also mentioning the Pistols at Finsbury Park reminded me that was the last time I saw Iggy perform live. I'm envious of you going to see him and I hope your day is nothing less than fantastic. 😎
