Your Favorite Concert


Recommended Posts

Another great concert was Roxy Blue, Wildside, Babylon A.D. and local band Bomb Squad back in summer of 1992

 

Hot n Cold running-'tang for THAT show I am betting!

 

Roxy Blue's guitarist was outstanding. He was the best part of the show. Wildside was also very good. Babylon A.D. was a little disappointing for being the headliner. They filmed the video for "So Savage The Heart" at that show after the concert was over. Bomb Squad was also very impressive. They were the remnants of local band Mannekin.

Metal Church at the Marquee were pretty awesome. Smallish gig, supported by a very underrated British band called New England (not the New England) who were excellent and the Church absolutely smashed it. Mike Howe, what an awesome vocalist ... and I got to shake Kurdt Vanderhoof's hand... Happy days!

I remember Extreme put on an amazing show couple years back in Jakarta, Nuno is one hell of a player, Gary still sounded good. Guns N Roses' new formation is solid too, i remember hearing Axl in one of the boot i watched and he's kinda weak but he still has the power when played live here, everybody's stunned, great stuff. I watched Slash with Myles before that, and while Slash is always admirable and Myles did have a strong vocal, GNR with Axl is just more fun. Oh and Stryper and Skid row with johnny are also unbelievably good

 

If i want to watch a gig again, i'll go with GNR

FM were actually pretty good that year.

 

Drive She Said were appalling. Unrehearsed and completely out of time. It was embarrassing to watch :-(

Yep..MOR 1 - Best festival I have ever been too even to this day. The Honeymoon Suite Marquee show was I think the day before they supported Saga at The Hammersmith Odeon,..so I saw them twice in 2 days.. i've got a great sounding bootleg from the Marquee show.. Saga I have seen several times over the years, always a great live band, especally back in '81.

I love the 'Down To Earth' album with Graham Bonnet, but They weren't the best band I have ever seen tbh.
