All of these at the Centre:- Thin Lizzy, Village People (honestly!) supporting G**y G*****r, Elton John with the Elton John Band, Paul Weller, Madness, Dylan, BB King and Van The Man (and at the Dome as well).

Hawkwind at TW Assembly Hall.

Quo and Blue Oyster Cult at Hammersmith Odeon.

Nanci Griffith, Richard Thompson and Eric Bibb at The Hawth (not on the same night).

IIIrd Tyme Out at the Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN.

Brooooce and the E Street Band at Earls Court.

The Drivers - pubs all over the place plus the Ravenswood, Shelley Arms Nutley and the Cartoon in Croydon.

PS Can I add Rowan Atkinson at the Dome in the "Not the nine 0' clock news" era.

Did you see them at the freebutt on the first tour? It was absolutely ridiculous I couldn't hear anything for a week! They are still my all time favourite live band.

No, didn't see them at the Freebutt.

Saw them at the Paradox a few years later too, (Now called tru in West St), was weird for them to play in such a chavvy venue but they still rocked it !!!

Albums are great but everyone needs to experience a Mogwai gig before they die..... Anyone here not heard them need to just take the plunge and buy an album... You cant not like it...

Shriekback - outrageous good band live.
