Gigs you wish you were at.

4 pages and no Bowie/Ziggy at the Hammersmith Apollo is surprising. It was recorded very well I suppose.

Spike obviously.
Saw him at the Town Hall and the City Hall as well. Probably no better than those two shows ever for me. It was my ideal period for loving his music. Although he did great things later(right up to hs death) the MWSTW, Hunky Dory, Ziggy and Aladin Sane period tops everything and thats what he was playing then. Thgere is no setlist listed for Boro but this was what he played couple of days earlier and it was pretty much the same.

 
Would've liked to have seen early days Joy Division. Bet they were electric.
i saw a band called Warsaw @Middlesbrough Rock Garden, a few weeks later they changed their name to Joy Division.

after Ians death, they came back to the Rock Garden as New Order - it was one of their very early gigs with Barney singing - may even have been the first time they played outside of Manchester as New Order.

Was at working at the RG that day and let the band in. They were particularly insular and morose. Understandable I guess. It really was very early New Order.

I was gutted when it was announced joy Division was cancelled but at the time we didn't know why!

New Order were great I thought but many thought other wise. I took the pic below at the gig.
