Queen Only Brian May and Roger Taylor, with Paul Rodgers on vocals, no John Deacon.
Brixton Academy
New Order Pissed down with rain. Crystal, Transmission, Regret, Ceremony, 60 Miles An Hour, Atmosphere, Brutal, Close Range, She's Lost Control, Bizarre Love Triangle, True Faith, Temptation, Love Will Tear Us Apart, (Encore) Digital (with John Simm), Blue Mond Finsbury Park
Madonna Plus Hue & Cry and The Bhundu Boys, but not the rumoured Wet Wet Wet. My first concert, went with a friend from school and some friends of his dad. Sounds a bit weird now. Got the t-shirt, programme, every bit of junk going... Wembley Stadium
Transvision Vamp Second time seeing them here, Sinead O'Connor was there too. Portsmouth Guildhall
Belle & Sebastian Not a gig, a weird press conference thing. Ten Rooms
stellastarr* plus The Ordinary Boys and The 22s. Looks like everyone was there to see the Ordinary Boys, but I thought they were a bit ordinary... stellastarr were OK, not quite as convincing as on record though. Islington Academy
Bitch Aid The party to raise some money for popbitch - putting it here as a gig as I met John Deacon that day, I just found an autographed receipt in with my tickets... Saint
Tiger plus Chicks, at Camden Falcon. Probably a Barfly thing, but when it was at the Falcon... anyone remember such days? Camden Falcon
Gene A work freebie, we nearly didn't get in because I couldn't prove I was who I was claiming to be (I wasn't). A charity contribution sorted it out... Forum
