- 1991 Atom Seed @ The Pit (Sat 12 Jan 1991)

- 1991 Revolting Cocks @ Astoria (Thu 24 Jan 1991)
plus Godflesh and Bomb Everything (AKA) Bomb Disneyland. Got a video of this gig, you can see me stagediving on it.
[leave a comment]- Noisy night in tonightBizarrely this arrived in the post the other day with no note or anything. There was a return address though, and from that Clare thinks it was sent to her because she signed up for something agreeing to review baby products on some parenting website. So, while Clare is out with Emma tonight I'm giving it a go, "rescuing" a bootleg video of The Revolting Cocks at London Astoria, a gig I was at in 1991. I know you can see me stagediving on the video but can not really be bothered to watch the who -
- Me, stagedivingOh yeah this has been worth waiting for here's a clip of me on stage at the London Astoria, 1991. What, you blinked? Watch it again! That's me bottom left for a few seconds. Particularly poignant as it's GONE now. I bought this bootleg video a while after the gig on a trip to Camden market. It has been festering in a drawer until I finally figured out how to rip it and share it! I have the whole concert now, if you want it I will sell you a DVD of it, or maybe just bittorrent it. It's d -
- 1991 Megadeth @ Poole Arts Centre (Sun 24 Mar 1991)
First time I saw them. Just caught up with a friend who was there too (and who I'd not seen for over ten years, he says
[leave a comment]Alice In Chains opened, followed by The Almighty at the Poole Arts Center gig '91 (if I remember correctly) - 1991 The Almighty @ Leas Cliff Hall (Thu 20 Jun 1991)
Think I saw them on this tour, in Cambridge on the 24th...
[leave a comment] - 1991 The Primitives @ The Joiners (Wed 26 Jun 1991)
Ah, past their peak, still a treat to see them at a venue this size.
[leave a comment] - 1991 Dee-Lite @ Birmingham Academy (Sun 14 Jul 1991)
plus PM Dawn. A Nixdorf friend's birthday, the only gig we could find in town to go to. Bootsy Collins played bass for them at this show.
[leave a comment]- RE: My gigographyMy 19th birthday gig !!! Deeeee-lite were a bit shite as I remember. The Revolting Cocks were better at the Astoria. Remember the strippers and you stage diving whilst I stood at the back in agony for some reason. Nirvana at the Hummingbird, now called the Academy and not as good. We also Ned's at Reading University at some point, and also got in free to see Iron Maiden in Hammersmith in 1990 I think. Saw Jonathon King outside. Whatever happened to him ? - Stuart Murray
- 1991 Monsters of Rock @ Castle Donington (Mon 5 Aug 1991)
AC/DC, Metallica, Motley Crue, Queensryche, and the Black Crowes. A pretty special line up at the top of the bill, shame it was the shortest Donington bill ever. Got a coach up from Portsmouth. \m/
[leave a comment] - 1991 Guns n' Roses @ Wembley Stadium (Sat 31 Aug 1991)
Izzy Stradlin's last ever show. Support Nine Inch Nails and Skid Row - Sebastian Bach swore too much and got them barred for life.
[leave a comment] - 1991 Gary Numan @ Leas Cliff Hall (Wed 18 Sep 1991)
Emotion tour
[leave a comment] - 1991 Wolfsbane @ The Marquee (Sun 6 Oct 1991)
Found the ticket now! I went to the gig on my own, then got the last train up to Rugby, where I was staying for college. Can't find details anywhere online. Much stage diving, one of my favourite gig.s
[leave a comment] - 1991 Carter USM @ Leas Cliff Hall (Mon 14 Oct 1991)
+ The Senseless Things
[leave a comment]- James 1991Carter played the week before I think. Eat supported James - unless there was a later gig. I saw Mercury Rev at the LCH in the early 90s too - think they may have supported Ride - jonny5000
- 1991 James @ Leas Cliff Hall (Mon 21 Oct 1991)
+ Thousand Yard Stare, James were the support, Thousand Yard Stare were the headliners. I think Suede support Thousand Yard Stare in Portsmouth...
[leave a comment]- James 1991I didn't go to this, but thought I'd point out that I think James were the support and Thousand Yard Stare were the headliners this time around... oh sit down, oh sit down, oh shut the fuck up... - pauly
- 1991 Skid Row @ Docklands Arena (Fri 22 Nov 1991)
plus LA Guns and Love / Hate. The latter announced a "secret" gig they were doing the next day in London, I should have gone they were one of my fave bands of the day.
[leave a comment] - 1991 Nirvana @ Birmingham Academy (Wed 27 Nov 1991)
plus Captain America and Shonen Knife. I got the t-shirt and everything, wish I still had it. Birmingham Hummingbird is now part of the Academy.
[leave a comment]- Nirvana @ Birmingham HummingbirdTime for another bit of back-blogging... this day in 1991 I was at Birmingham Hummingbird to see Nirvana... I was just inspired to add this by stumbling across NirvanaGuide.com, which has the following details for the gig: Setlist: Drain You Aneurysm Floyd The Barber Smells Like Teen Spirit About A Girl Polly Lithium Sliver Been A Son On A Plain Negative Creep Endless, Nameless There are also a couple of bootlegs available of this gig, an audio recording and a video.. - pauly
- Today is my 20th Nirvanaversary, did you not get me a card?It was twenty years ago today as they say that I went to see Nirvana, one time only, in Birmingham. Why Birmingham? I was on a sponsored HNC course with Nixdorf, they sent us to East Warwickshire College in Rugby, and one of my friends Stu from the course was from Birmingham and suggested we went. I was fully metal at the time but indie and rock were starting to merge together, partly because of bands like Nirvana that had that crossover appeal. We did not have tickets in advance, not sure if -
- 1991 Neds Atomic Dustbin @ Portsmouth Guildhall (Thu 19 Dec 1991)
I saw them once more on this tour, in Reading uni / poly I think, can't find the date though...

- Weekend reportSuper weekend, starting with The Mighty Boosh at the LCH, funny, good, we felt a bit old though, they do attract a young audience, lots of whom were dressed up. I maybe enjoyed the show a bit more than my companions, though it did feel a bit like a cobbled together string of all the funny characters from the show. It felt like that because it was that, like the TV show and the radio show before it. A few drinks after this in The Clifton, and then home to our massive telly - sorry no pictures of -
