I have also seen Steve Hackett Solo and Peter Gabriel Solo, but I was far too young when they were part of Genesis. Amazing the amount of talent coming from one band.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Oh so similar. Have seen NC with the Bad Seeds, Grinderman, also with The Birthday Party upstairs at the Richmond pub in Brighton town in the very early eighties. And - top trumps! - in Churchill Square in cords and puffer jacket looking severely stressed trying to keep control of his two unruly toddlers

Danny Thompson with Pentangle, and compering the Cropredy Festival, and playing in 'The Thompson Twins' (with Richard Thompson, not the 80s pop band).
Richard Thompson with Fairport Convention and solo.

Seen Zak Starkey with both the Who and Oasis.
He wasn't IN the operas, was he? So are we just counting performances which artists contributed to?
Or, in some cases, just talked!?

Struggling to get more than a 5 and only one of those which would be Darren Hayman solo. Darren Hayman and The Secondary Modern, Darren Hayman and The Short Politics. The French and Hefner. He was in another band but that would be a lie to say I saw them. Good game...good game...

Apropos of nothing - the only time I saw Tanya D live was in a gig at Milton Keynes Bowl, where in terms of quality of performance, the running order really ought to have been completely reversed. It was the R.E.M 'Monster' tour, with Blur in support, and Belly up first.
Belly smashed out a sensational set, while ten thousand disinterested punters queued at the beer tents, then Blur played perfectly to the summer crowd (it was Parklife / Girls and Boys / Country House era), before finally the headline act came out and went through the motions of their (pretty average) Monster album, steadfast refusing to chuck in any of the scores of back catalogue crowd pleasers.

I remember queuing for hours at Wembley Arena to buy tickets for REM on the Monster tour. Gig was then cancelled. Just as well by the sound of it.

Another thread idea is bands you have only ever seen the compliments of. Never seen the The Clash but have seen Joe Strummer with the Mescaleros, Terry Chimes with Cherry Bombz, Paul Simonon in TGTBTQ and Gorillaz and Mick Jones do the half time tombola at Loftus Road and in Gorillaz.
If you REALLY liked the album, I guess you'd like the performance - by the book, as it was.
For me it is the least strong piece in a huge and brilliant body of work. The decision to 'rock' it up a bit was a very poor one in my opinion.
The band are / were far, far better at the earlier less obviously commercial stuff (from the earliest stuff, through Fables, and right up to Green). The more radio friendly pop stuff of Out of Time and Automatic was less to my taste, but they were still patently very, very good at it.
Then, with Monster, they decided to try to turn into Muse! Not for me (Clive).
They regained my interest best part of a decade later, with Reveal, which fits the early work much better.
All IMO, obvs.
Enjoying this thread.
Thought of another 3x-er combination: Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips.
Seen Dean with Galaxie 500, Luna and as Dean & Britta.
Then also seen Britta as The Belltower, Luna and as Dean & Britta.
Purely for the music of course. Her legs were absolutely not an influence on my attendance...

Surprised nobody's mentioned seeing both Joy Division & New Order yet.
*EDIT* Apart from the person who decides, 4 hours into the thread, to post just about exactly the same thing at just about exactly the same time. Gah!

I'm guessing Gedge In Weddoes and Cinerama doesn't count. Or Spizz in Spizzenergi, Athletic Spizz 80, Spizzles and Spizzenergi2?
Saw Bob Smith in The Cure and Siousxie, but also in Cult Hero. And Simon Gallup and Matthieu Hartly in the Cure and Magazine Spies and Cult Hero. Terry Bickers with House of Love at the Albert Hall and with Pete Fij.
Sure there must be others, but those early gigs are getting a bit hazy now!

Agree, I was there with Mrs Jakarta and we left early, never thought I would do that at an REM gig.
Just to finish the day, the M25 was closed for around 3 hours just after Junction 9, guess who decided not to get off there?
