best gig was going to see Sonic Youth at the Brixton Academy, but they weren't the highlight. we had a spliff down a side alley somewhere and walked in as Babes in Toyland were performing. I've only been to a handful of gigs but this was astonishing. never heard anything like them before and SY must be really generous with their sound checks because they sounded better than the albums we subsequently bought. that's something I've never experienced with any band playing live. our chins kinda hit the floor and then we spent the next hour or so mesmerised. SY were pale in comparison. |

Sounds great Mel. Both band names ring a bell. Hawkwind on mushrooms was pretty intense..but good! |

Remember the song Ballroom Blitz? It was written after a riot at a gig at The Grand Hall by The Sweet... we thought for years that it was a myth but its true

I saw Metallica when Cliff Burton was the bassist. I was pretty young. The band were giving out the Kill Em All album for free to the audience.
