 yes i watched it a few months ago, they got all the fashions spot on, it was like a trip down memory lane 

If you've seen the Stone Roses documentary then on the DVD extras they have the only known footage of the actual gig. The picture isn't great but you get the impression that it was amazing, wish i'd been there

Northern soul was the soundtrack to my youth

Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias in 1975 ish which culminated with the lead singer falling into an 8 foot tall foam rubber pussy. Class. And funny as f***.

Too many to choose from.

The Cure at the SECC in about '89.

The Foo's (Any of the six or so times I've seen them - Hipster's wrong because they're always excellent live.)

The P.E. Birmingham 1989/90.

U2 at Wembley in 87 before they went shit. (Supported by The Pretenders, World Party and Spear of Destiny.)

The Stereophonics at T in The Park one year. (Same year Joe Strummer played.)

Jane's Addiction at the Apollo.

Any Fun Lovin Criminals gig pre-2001 when they did a U2 and went shit.

SLF many, many times - always a top night out.

To name but a few.

Just watching Spike Island now (in-between tests  ).  Didnt realise the lad out of shameless was in it.  been quite good so far.  Soundtrack is obviously brilliant

Oasis at the Reebok (supported by Johnny Marr)

Manic Street Preachers at the Millennium Stadium on New Years Eve 1999.
