I can't remember the name of it but a couple of friends had decided to start a goth night at Camden Palace on Thursdays. I'm not sure it was weekly as the only times I went was the first Thursday in September and the first Thursday in October - so it was quite possibly monthly. … Continue reading GIG 306 : All Living Fear – Camden Palace, 5th September 1996

GIG 304 : Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds / Dirty Three – Brixton Academy, 15th August 1996
I love Nick Cave but had never seen him live before this gig. It was part of The Murder Ballads Tour, which is also one of my top two Nick Cave albums so was a fantastic way to experience my first Nick Cave gig. The gig was also notable for the very special guest appearance … Continue reading GIG 304 : Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds / Dirty Three – Brixton Academy, 15th August 1996
GIG 303 : Oasis / Manic Street Preachers / The Charlatans / Cast / Dreadzone / Kula Shaker – Knebworth Park, 11th August 1996
This was probably the hottest ticket of the summer of 1996. Oasis were kings of the world and were playing two massive sold out dates at Knebworth Park, with a host of support acts on each of the days. 2.5 million people tried to get tickets for these gigs, with the gigs braking box office … Continue reading GIG 303 : Oasis / Manic Street Preachers / The Charlatans / Cast / Dreadzone / Kula Shaker – Knebworth Park, 11th August 1996

GIG 301 : 3 Colours Red – Camden Palace, 30th July 1996
Not that we needed an excuse to go to Feet First at Camden Palace, but this evening was one of our mates (Graham) 21st birthday so a gathering and party was to be had. The eveings band was an English indie/rock band called 3 Colours Red who'd formed a couple of years earlier in 1994. … Continue reading GIG 301 : 3 Colours Red – Camden Palace, 30th July 1996
GIG 300 : Senser – Camden Palace, 23rd July 1996
Senser are a politically charged rap-rock band that formed in London in the late 80's/early 90's. They'd had a few singles and their debut album in 1994, "Stacked Up" had reached #4 in the UK album charts. They were a band I'd listened to both at home and out at club nights as they were … Continue reading GIG 300 : Senser – Camden Palace, 23rd July 1996
GIG 299 : The Mission / Vivid – Astoria, 5th July 1996
The last time I'd seen The Mission it was my 200th gig. Had I managed to squeeze another gig in over the past year and a bit then they'd have also been my 300th gig. As it was they'd have to settle for GIG 299. It was a Friday night and loads of people had … Continue reading GIG 299 : The Mission / Vivid – Astoria, 5th July 1996

If you look at this gig two things are amazing. Firstly - what a line-up! Eric Clapton, The Who (playing Quadrophenia), Bob Dylan and the then current hotness Alanis Morissette all on the same bill! The scond amazing thing - the ticket only cost £8... YEP EIGHT POUNDS!!! It may have been 1996, but even … Continue reading GIG 298 : Eric Clapton / The Who (performing Quadrophenia) / Bob Dylan / Alanis Morissette – Hyde Park, 29th June 1996

It'd been a few weeks since I'd last been at Camden Palace for their Feet First club night but here I was, in The Southampton Arms with friends on a Tuesday night with the Palace across the street beckoning to us all. It would have bad not to pop over for a few hours of … Continue reading GIG 297 : Audioweb – Camden Palace, 25th June 1996
