great thread---been thinking recently about taking pics of my ticket stubs.I have kept hold of them since the very first one in 1981.I only have one from Dublin in the 90's ,that was Machine Head at the SFX.A memorable gig as I've never seen the walls sweat like that at any other gig.And Logan Mader their drummer took a mad run and jumped into the crowd at one stage.Huge fella--the crowd tried to part LOL....
I lost some cracking stubs due to having long hair and drenching it to cool down after moshing which soaked the stub and it disintegrated.Soundgarden in Philadelphia(Trocadero) in 1989/90 is one I really wish I still had.Also saw Danzig there same year he was touring first album.
thanks everyone else for posting--great to see old stubs.Loved that Led Zep one--cracker
my bag of stubs
This was a brilliant gig at an historic old venue.There's even a book about The Stone Balloon on amazon.Seeing Joe Walsh do Rocky Mountain Way in such an intimate venue(really just a bar) is up there in the top 5 gigs for me.
Another one of the top 5.Me and gf were seated in 11th row and could see thru the stagedoor which was back left and opened at just the right moment.Just before Stevie came on he took a draw out of this huge curly white pipe,came out on the stage and blew these 2 huge plumes of smoke from his nostrils while starting straight in on I think Pride and Joy if memory serves.One of the greatest guitarists ever--R.I.P
2nd time I'd seen Slayer that year.I'd moved to California for a year or 18 months.Reigning in blood.Not sure if Jason Newstead was in Flotsam & Jetsom at the time--prob was but I'd never heard of him then
Riot in San Francisco
Helluva mosh pit at this one is all I remember.Dirty Rotten Imbeciles
This gig is a bit hazy ;-) purple hazy.Loved Bad Company
Huge Stadium gig-prob 60,000 at it
2nd time seeing the Dead--3rd time seeing Jerry.If you haven't been to a Dead gig there are no words.
First time seeing Slayer.Strange girl turned round to me and my cuz and said "Satan is master and the master is king".Slayer were just awesome
Metallica warming up for Ozzy in Philadelphia.Spectrum held about 15,000.They blew him away.They were touring The Master of Puppets.Cliff would be dead months later--R.I.P
Immolation were the standout band here.Thrashing rage
Still have the drumstick ;-)
Kerbdog got replaced by Corrosion of conformity.Good gig

part 2--only allowed 15 pics per post
£6 in----cracking gig
Can't remember a single song by these boys nigh
Entombed spelled wrong.Great gig.This was about the time Out of Hand and Wolverine Blues was out I seem to recall
At least the 3rd time seeing Slayer--think there might be a lost stub for them too.
Great gig--sweaty walls at the SFX
Top 5 gig.The sound was incredible.Never forget the bass rumbling my internal organs during Dam The River.Layne said he was off his tits on 'cid.Immortalised in the Ulster Hall who now have a poster hanging on the walls in remembrance.I have a pic of it on iphone.Layne R.I.P
Pantera were at the height of their POWER---vulgar display.Dimebag R.I.P.
Loved the Evil Elvis--got all their sigs on back.Only me and my bro and about 6 others outside the barrowlands waiting.Tic says Mayfair but it was moved or renamed--I forget
God knows why I felt the need to write very loud for Motorhead!
David Lee Roth still with them.Party time
He did 3 Pink Floyd numbers all from The Wall-the ones he wrote or co-wrote.Longest standing ovation I've ever seen.Amazing guitarist

part 3 stubs
Don't fear the reaper
Ian Gillan was on vocals here.It was fairly good
My only gig in NYC and it was a cracker.1983.Rush were on top form and we had great seats.Spent the day in central park eating psylocybin and the clouds were cutting the skyscrapers in half.
Planty touring his first solo album.Memorable gig
Tower theatre was much smaller venue--held couple thousand I would reckon.Great gig
2 of my faves.Iron Maiden were touring the Killers album with Tony D'anno on vox.They got some people up on stage to let out a scream and then D'anno near took the roof off with his effort.Brilliant
Ozzy touring The Diary of a Madman--forget the support if there was any
Back in Black tour.Brian J blew us away
My first gig--100,000 stoned and drunken rock n f*ckin rollers.What an introduction.Amazing
wasn't going to add these as they are later but what the hell.---R.I.P Piggy
Missed Monster Magnet who I adored as was too busy partying outside ;-)
I'd have to wait 10 years to see them.
And it was worth the wait.Karma to Burn were brilliant and a total surprise as support.I had one of their albums and really liked them but they were just amazing on the day.Fantastic time patterns and tightness.Then after Monster Magnet I was hoking around looking for the toilet when I stepped out thru a door and it was the back door and there was Dave Wyndorf standing with a couple people chatting away.Had a good 15 minutes or so standing there and got my pic taken with him.Cool dude

Yeah That Alice In Chains gig was the night before or after they played the SFX in Dublin, Layne said in that weeks kerrang that it was the first time he'd ever been nervous performing as the audiences reaction was so good

Stereolab's first concert in Ireland. The Rock Garden, Dublin ..sometime late 1992? It was cold.. I can't remember if there was a support. I don't think there was, late starting concert as well.
Seaya Sadier (as she was then..) was trying to motivate a rather still audience, there was also a gap of about 2 metres between the band and the punters, oddness, a 'standing crowd'.. She was inviting people to bop or dance to the music..
A treat seeing them live, I had been psyched up by the Too Pure! label at the time, PJ Harvery, Th' faith Healers, Stereolab etc..
The longest surviving paper napkin setlist..
No ticket sadly, it was probably a pay at the door affair, being the Rock Garden.

Wasn't at this myself but remember them playing The Comumbia Mills (UFO, WATERFRONT) On John Rogersons Quay in 19940 -

Dude - I would've given my eye teeth to see this show - Rush in Radio City Music Hall. Was that the Signals tour in 1983 when Marillion were supporting? AND you were tripping on 'shrooms in Central Park beforehand? There are some things money can't buy - lucky git! :eek:0 -
