Big CountryWent to see them at the Garage on Friday. Wasn't sure what to expect without Stuart, but it was a great gig. Tony Butler did very well on vocals as did Bruce, and the whole place was jumping.Don't think I've ever been to a hotter or sweatier gig

Anybody able to go to the Big Country gig in Holland?
I'm trying to convince my hubby to go there, but he says we spent a lot of money on gig this year already! Maybe, if he knows that some others will come too.... maybe, if I tell him he can wear his kilt to the gig....

Jim and I were thinking of going the Manchester gig (Saturday 28th October) but it's also the SoSM Glasgow meet up weekend and also my mate wants me to go to see the "Stylistics" with her (help!!)
Decisions, decisions..... anyone else going (may swing it for me  )???
|
||||
| billy |
the Stylistics 
come on woman  get a hold of yourself ,
although my mate got me to go to a metallica gig once , turned out to be an excellent night, really impressed, so you never know betcha by golly wow
|

| ALI BIN TABNAB |
Ere, ya can't beat a bit o' Stylistics to wipe away those 70's disco cobwebs.
I remember seeing a video of theirs on VH-1 a while back and decided to check the youtube vaults to see if it was in there. Well, it certainly was...and another trip down memory lane was had. You've just gotta check this one out
The video was shot on the roof of a skyscraper on a rather windy day. Check out those 30lb afro's Hang fire when the video starts though, and the camera pans towards the band. Hey, a nearly saturated me breeks when a clocked those bouffants I swear one of them is wearing a motorcycle helmet, the fella with the pork-chop side burns. Musta left eez Kawasaki 750 in the car park, he he he.
PS - Billy, check out the little chap wearing the white hat. I'm sure it's Shan the factory cat

Oh Tabs..... 
that was scary!!!! I think I might have nightmares tonight 
Dakota PS. Andrea....surely that clip has decided it for you
|
||||
| AFARR |
Wow what sex gods.... you wont be able to keep me away now.....  (I think I need to get my mate a doctor )
To be truthful I did see half of one of their Liverpool gigs with her many moons ago and I had a fantastic singalong (but I had been on the pop all day so can't remember much apart from the venue bar !!) As Ash says you cant beat a bit of cheesy 70's disco (even though I am far too young to remember them the first time ) Decision made ... think I'll send my Mum instead !!
Now it's just a trip up to Glasgow or Big Country??? 
|
||||
| Jean Genie |
I wouldn't rule out a BC gig in Liverpool at some point, Andrea. I'm still planning on the October meet up.. Not just for SSM fans btw, also for those from this place!! Manchester will have to wait for another day.. I'll be there for Pike Meters and his gang on 1 December!!
|
||||
| Loretta |
Andrea, if I cant make the meetup.. we could do the BC gig
|
||||
| AFARR |
Wah hooo.... go girl...... would love to (party time!!) No chance of getting FFL there (busy bee??) Jim wants to see Big Country too wish I knew if they were definately doing Liverpool (any inside info lads?) then you could come over to us and we could do Glasgow as well!! Then there is always the other option of a night of the "Stylistics" with my mate (how can you resist!!!??? )
|
||||
| Loretta |
I often pop that one on Andrea when I am doing the housework
Nothin wrong with a bit of 7os cheese
|
||||
| ALI BIN TABNAB |
gerr away lass.
It's your Phil who does the housework
|
||||
| billy |
you can beat 70's cheese with a bit of 80's cheese, like dollar or u2 maybe
|
||||
| AFARR |
wanna stay mates Billy??? I LOVE Dollar (think the last one was a typo eh ....  )
|
||||
| Loretta |
He knows where his place is!!
|
||||
| billy |
affar, you're right about dollar, mirror mirror possibly one of the best pop songs of the eighties, really, of course it's by trevor horn, he knows his stuff as he showed when he took on the minds to create possibly their best album to date.
sorry, no error for the second one though, a massive piece of stilton there eh!(apart from the song unforgetable fire, a stroke of genius, their one moment of brightness. |
||||
| Loretta |
Mirror Mirror did you see the vid?
|
||||
| AFARR |
must admit U2 are not the U2 I loved in my younger years. "Unforgettable Fire" is my favourite track and I love albums like "Boy", "October" and "War" as well as of course the latter album. Got to be honest though they did go off the boil for me after "Rattle and hum" when I swapped my alegance But they do put a out a good dity now an again you must admit!
AFARR (why the hell did I call myself that !)

Just for you Loretta Thought that was Pat Sharp
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqkI2VBiLgg |
||||
| Loretta |
I remember it well, an the old cobbler guy in the vid was also in alot of vids back then
Am I right in thinking he was the guy in the Love Song vid who Mick slapped an ol fish round his face?
They dont make them like that anymore
Am I right there Derek? maybe you could clarify? you seem to have a good memory or is that Mick...? I cant remember.....
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
||||
| AFARR |
hahaha Loretta love the fish clip - I watch it on repeat In fact just love that video the dancing is cool
|
||||
| dforbes |
Yes Loretta, that is indeed the old fruit that Mick slapped on the dish with a fish.
|
||||
| Loretta |
Thought it was. Thanks Darlin xx | ||||
| billy |
afarr, got to admit u2 do good album tracks (god part2) and they seem to pull off other peoples songs very well (helter skelter, help, unchained melody, dancing queen etc) although no band can go wrong with beatkes tracks , maybe 4gm can do a beatles song. i'm sure u2 done ' i love, you love' by gary glitter, check out martin gore doing it!. mr glitter! how the mighty fall! used to be one of my hero's, it really saddened and shocked me finding out what he'd done.. afarr! what does it mean i'm puzzled
|
||||
| AFARR |
Hi Billy
Glad you don't totally hate them I agree some of the album tracks are the best. I blame most of it on media hype- we end up sick of hearing particular tracks.
What a good idea - maybe at the Cavern in Liverpool too ...please !!
Don't suppose I can change it now without starting again so afarr it is (suppose could be my version of "so...far.ar" as in "Waterfront" too ).
Off to listen to "How to dismantle an atomic bomb" - it is growing on me! Andrea x

Well, me and William tootled off to Newcastle last night for the Big Country gig. What a show, brilliant! The venue, although quite small, was packed out and even now me little ears are still ringing
Bruce Watson on vocals...I never knew he could sing! A great voice, and Tony Butler done well on lead vocals too. The crowd were jumping all over the place and it made me realise that BC still have a lot to offer. A great set. I recorded a couple of songs on me lil' camera so I'll try and get them up on youtube in the next few days. I was filming 'The Teacher' and decided to stop half way through to save some memory space. About ten seconds after stopping the recording Tony Butler fell straight on his arse . Musta slipped on his sweat, which was running off by the bucket load. He took it well though, just laughed it off. At the end of the song Bruce said to the audience 'As ya can see folks, Tony does all his own f*cking stunts on stage'
A great show, must see them again soon. 
|

| billy |
wow, what a show don't think i've been to a louder gig, ears were knacking
Big Country know how to put a show on, first time i've seen them, new stuff is very good, roll on the live album, i'd recommend anyone to catch them now Billy |
||||
| FUNFOXYLADY007 |
My god haven't I missed a lot of fun here
While running up to the hospital for the past 3 weeks
Glad the Blues brothers had a fab time at BC gig bet you didn't see any knomes tho
Take Care hope to be on here soon for a big update Fun xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

| billy |
Why on earth did'nt 4gm or sons of dan get in on the support act for Big Country, i think they missed a golden chance at some great exposure & if a release was out they could of built a bit of momentum up on a tour with BC.
Just a thought. |
||||
| ALI BIN TABNAB |
Aye, that support bloke was cack eh. He kept singin' about blow jobs and slimy stew (whatever that is). Decent crack atween the songs but the washboard routine done very little to get me going. Billy couldn't keep eez sel away from the barmaid so a dint knar whether he seen the support gadgey
|
||||
| Loretta |
I know a bloke called slimy Stew
I do
