Chemical Brothers at the Manchester Academy

the support band was Lionrock, who blew them off the stage.

Was an early Chemical Brothers gig, though, seen them 3 times since and they've been blinding.

The Smiths at Victoria Hall in Stoke, someone threw a sausage on the stage with 'meat is murder' written on it and Morrissey f**ked off and took the rest of the band with him (in retrospect, he did us all a favour)

The Pogues (also at Victoria Hall) Shane McGowan fell off the stage 'cos he was bladdered and couldn't remember most of the words to the songs - that was the best worst gig I've seen live.
