The Beach Ballroom 1963...I didn't of course because I wasn't on this earth before they split in 1970. However, even if they had made a comeback and played the Malt Mill I wouldn't have bothered my arse to attend.
I did use to work with a machinist that played for the support band when The Beatles played The Beach Ballroom. I think his name was Tony...
I seen The Human League a few years ago at The Irish Village in Dubai. It was round about the time “Peter Pawlett Baby” was in vogue. They were absolutely dreadful. Definitely the worst I have ever seen live.
Probably worst was the Waterboys after the had a bit of a split up round about 1988. Seen them before and after and they were very good, but they were awful in that 88 concert. I think it was at the Music Hall.
Admiral Fallow at the barras. Bored out my tits. Didn't really appreciate Arab Strap back about 1997.
I was being slightly harsh on The Beatles as a band. It's Paul McCartney that grates me really.
I'm not hugely familiar with their albums, but I do like Dear Prudence, Back in the USSR (especially given that it was deep into the Cold War and as a response to The Beach Boys glorification of California Girls) and Revolution.
I hadn't heard of Tomorrow Never Knows but it sounded alright when I listened to it.
I suppose it's the continuing reverence to them that irritates me rather than the music (although their four lads in suits early period was annoyingly chirpy)
By the way, Mote of Dust playing The Tunnels on Thursday for anybody interested, it includes one of the members of Aerogramme
