was it 1990?My absolute favourite was Galaxie 500 at Manchester International in 1991. They split soon after. Not seen any of their subsequent projects since then but am seeing Dean Wareham perform the Galaxie 500 On Fire album tomorrow in Leeds and Thursday in Newcastle.
Other favourites include Fanfarlo at the Westgarth, Dark Dark Dark at the Georgian, Jonathan Richman in a church in Newcastle and Gil Scott Heron at the Arena in Boro.
Saw Stereo MC's support Happy Mondays at Brixton Academy and all of our group thought they were better by far.Support was Stereo MCs who were surprisingly good and another band who I'd never heard of who were crap.
