I mentioned earlier that Napalm Death played Lava in Nov 2001...I'm not sure if they played their again though

Aye, just read on the internet that New Order played Victoria Hotel in 1981. Is that on Union Street just before Belmont Street? Did anybody go to the Victoria Hotel for a gig?

I saw the Long Ryders at The Douglas/The Venue half a lifetime ago, really cracking gig.

Turned up to see Girlschool there but it was cancelled really last minute.....canna mind many other gigs there I was at.

Liking the scrap book Pac min. Alphabetical or by date?

I'm pretty sure all my old gig and football tickets are in the house, but stuffed in envelopes and drawers and boxed in cupboards. Always intended to put them in some sort of order, but yet another thing on the 'I'll get round to that later' list.

[Pacman1903]

By date. Only ever lost one ticket in over 300 gigs. Bugs me to this day

Black Label Society at the Academy in Glasgow mid 00s

That Tattoo The Planet Tour ticket is the gig i mentioned in the Sept 11 thread where i missed out on Pantera and never got to see them. This also bugs me to this day

Quality

I appreciate a good gig ticket collection.
