BigGuyAtTheBack Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 UFO 'Doctor, Doctor' played at Garlogie Village hall 1994. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightbitraptor Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Think we opened with a cover of this - Easyworld, Other Man. They're from Brighton and our guitarist was a massive fan at the time. Super simple but massively fun. For some reason we could never play this at the right speed, we always used to play it super fast! Nice intro though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyXULH_QOLk Edited August 11, 2014 by icastle Links fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dave Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Thin Lizzy's 'Jailbreak'. Askern Miner's Welfare WMC - 1978. 'Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak - somewhere in this town' it goes. I presume that 'somewhere' will be the prison , then ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Back in the USSR by the Beatles at a hall of residence gig at International Hall in That London, a month or so before I dropped out of university. So that would have been 1976. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChick Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Fleetwood Mac - I need your love so bad That was on the bass. However, first song I ever played live was "The Entertainer" on a descant recorder in a Butlins talent Competition when I was 9 and I won! I still have the photo of me on the stage with my winners certificate!! I may dig it out later After that, it was Spanish Classic guitar, then the oboe and then I finally got to the bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Steve Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Can't remember precisely which song but a school assembly playing songs from Babbacombe Lee by Fairport Convention and telling the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Spoonful, Howlin Wolf. The greatness of it totally went over the heads of our Ruislip youth club audience. At the end the singer announced the last number just as the main lights went on. The caretaker who was walking down the room shouted, "Don't bother mate, they've all gone home!" Ah, showbiz.

Leonard Smalls Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Who knows! We were all terribly off our faces - for all the early gigs we just plugged in and played with no real idea what we were going to do. For up to 4 hours. Poor audience!

Geek99 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I've never actually gigged but I did have lessons and my teacher (quickly) showed me the bones of stand by me and then made me play it straight away whilst he played telecaster. Deep. end Nerve racking, magical, transporting. He told me after: "you're quite a lot better than you think" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
