Not the only time it has happened to me. I was going to see Slade the night they cancelled at very short notice to appear on Top of the pops. What was said was a bit stronger than oh bugger.Grumpytim wrote: ↑Sun May 02, 2021 10:56 amYou can't 'like' that post, there's only one thing to say in that situation - oh bugger!

Came close to cancellations a few times with the Pogues, many times we saw him absolutely tonto'd in a nearby bar, and one time at Brixton he had to be 'helped' to the artists entrance. Somehow however he put in some blistering performances despite being rat arsed.

That to me is a result - I loved The Chameleons, saw them a few times in London.

Re: Bands / artists you would love to see live in their prime
It was a good gig, I saw them a few times on that tour and saw Thin Lizzy headline one of the nights of the Reading Festival back in either 75 or 76BillyBones wrote: ↑Sat May 01, 2021 10:45 pm One of my biggest regrets, going back to the late 70's again was missing out on a gig in Manchester with Graham Parker & the Rumour with Southside Johnny and the Astbury Dukes. What a bill, I can't recall exactly why I didn't go (money, or rather lack of probably), but I was gutted when my mates told me all about it the next day!
Also, same late 70's period, I also missed out on a prime Thin Lizzy gig at the Manchester Apollo. Loved that band yet never quite made it to see them live. When I think of some of the dross I've seen over the years it still galls.

Listening to Good Times now. Bernard Edwards really is one of my favourite bass players. Those silky smooth funky bass lines would have me in a trance all night.

Re: Bands / artists you would love to see live in their prime
I should have added Bowie & Talking Heads to my original 3. Plenty of people around me went to Bowie gigs but I suspect I was put off by his strange appearance Don't know anyone who caught Talking Heads and I have to confess I was not aware of MC5 prior to this thread. I've just sampled a few tracks on YouTube and whilst it's not exactly my style of music they are real deal and imagine they would have been brilliant live
