I have not seen anything like 50 bands live, but I did see the Beatles live at the Plymouth ABC cinema in 1964. My biggest memory 45 years later was the noise. Not from the Beatles but the screaming girls that surrounded me!

...plus hundreds of bands who got absolutely nowhere:D
I love Shed Seven... saw them play the Main Stage at T in the Park 2008 and they were superb live. Jumped about like a nutter and sang my heart out... happy days
Heh, at first I just assumed that Rick Witter was a whoopsie singing about Mark and 'we would make great lovers'.....it wasn't until I listened a bit closer I realised he meant it as 'mark my words...'. Quite a clever sexually ambiguous song, really. Or me just being thick.
Fine band though...I actually thought their 2000 (?) album Truth Be Told was their best, but as Britpop had obviously been and gone by then nobody much cared outside their fanbase
I remembered quite a few more I missed off my list as well...actually looking through your original list (great bands on there btw!) jogged my memory, as soon as I saw My Bloody Valentine I remembered the Rollercoaster tour at Sheffield arena with The Jesus and Mary Chain, Blur and Dinosaur Jr, which in turn reminded me that I saw Dinosaur Jr again at Leeds Warehouse, probably the loudest gig I have ever been to, how could I forget that?!
Also can't believe I forgot to put the first ever gig I went to...The Jam (with The Dickies supporting) :eek:
Great thread, great memories!
