Agree, but they did hee haw to back it up. To be fair anything that followedfailed in comparison.
The best live gig Ive been to was Paul Weller touring with his first self titled album it was memorable! Wild Wood was almost as good then it all went south.

Yeah, a real shame about 'Second Coming' or whatever it was called. They'd have been better off as a one-album wonder. I tried to give the Ian Brown solo stuff a chance, but couldn't get too into it. A couple of decent songs, I guess.

What a thread, I don't know where to start, but partly cos of my age (being in the right time at the right place) and my occupation in sound I've seen some corkers. Below are a few highlights;
Primal Scream - hammersmith clarendon ballroom 1986 - somewhere in Wendover 1987 - london empire 1990 - glastonbury 1992
The Fall - town and country 1986
My Bloody Valentine - fulham greyhound 1987 - turnpike lane dome 1988 - roundhouse 2008
The Pixies - crystal palace bowl 1990 - mean fiddler reading warm up 1990
Dinosaur jr - ulu 1988
Sonic youth - kilburn national 1989
The Happy Mondays - Wembley Arena 1989
Artur Lee (from Love) Hoboken 1991
The Orb - Kilburn national 1991 - Brixton Academy 1992, Glastonbury 1992
Kraftwerk - Tribal Gathering 1993
Cornelius - Camden Ballroom 2007regret not seeing The Velvet Underground and the exploding plastic inevitable and The Stooges in their pomp, but even I was too young for that. Big up to Dancing James and Elguapo for the MBV shouts. I used to say that I could never trust anyone who didn't like My Bloody Valentine:-0

Jesus Christ! These guys were such a huge part of my twenties. I fall to my knees for these guys. Why is it that you can pick up Ride and Stone Roses records for like £3 now in the bargain bin? As far as I'm concerned it is some of the best music ever made.
