Live Albums - Were You There?

[Donnyboy]

A bit tenuous but I work bedside 2 fellas ( a bit older than me) who are proud to be on the Quo live at the Glasgow Apollo  album from 1976 - they got badges and everything!

[dmccombe7]

I think Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous. Sure some of that was recorded at Glasgow Apollo.

Also sure some of Rush Live album was recorded at Glasgow Apollo altho can't remember which one 1st or 2nd would need to double check that.

If they were then i was there.

Was also at The Wall by Pink Floyd in Earls Court first time around. That might be on a live album or VID in those days.

See if you can spot me. 😛

[Grassie]

I think was released as a CD as well, I'm in the audience. 😊 A fantastic venue was Ryde Theatre, long since closed.

That was "Exit, Stage Left" - the Glasgow Apollo crowd are the ones providing singalong accompaniment to the track "Closer To The Heart"

Through a marvellous episode of serendipity, I discovered the band when I was bored at work one day and googled my name, as you do... he came up in the results. Superb band, but a shame they parted ways with Damian. I prefer his voice to Glynn's. 

One of my other google results was the real name of Mr.C from The Shamen. Not so superb

Known your namesake and Karl for years (decades, actually!). Superb band. Actually Mac was my favourite of all their vocalists and it’s so sad that he’ll never be back with the band. I’m  glad they got Glynn back when Damien left again,  his voice is so different to Damian’s but I think it has a great rock feel to it!

The first thing I did was to correct the BBC reporter live on air, which I suspect is probably treasonable

But one’s duty nonetheless.

Apparently Iron Maiden at Donington in 1988.

Well that would be me then usually right down the front.

I'm singing backing vocals along with about 100,000 other people on Iron Maiden's 'Live at Donnington' from 1993.

 

Me too!

It was 1992.

derrière - I must be a year older than I thought 

 

[fretmeister]

AC/DC Live at Donington and Steve Vai live at The Astoria.

 

Dont think there are any others. 

[davepb24]

The only one I'm sure about is the bits of Fields Of The Nephilim's "Earth Inferno" from Wolverhampton (some more of that gig ended up on b-sides as well).. was at the NEC for Quo the day before/after the Prime Charles gig lol

I was also at the Astoria gig (1st night).

[TheGreek]

One of my claims to fame...

I and two friends appeared in a crowd shot during the Nelson Mandela concert at Wembley.

Friends saw us, and journeyed to Wembley in an attempt to get in without tickets or success.

[KevB]

I'd forgotten I was also at the Deep Purple gig that eventually became 'Come Hell or High Water'. It became notorious, mainly down to Blackmore's p-ss poor professionalism on the night.

Never realised that was released, in that case I'm on it too.

[TrevorR]

Remembered another one courtesy of my lovely wife, who gave me this for my birthday. We both went together (and got soaked). It was an amazing concert experience, though.

[funkgod]

James Taylor Quartet, Whole lotta live 1998 Manchester Academy,

i was made up when they released the cd

seen them about 10 times, this was for me about that time the best line up, tho snowboy was not on percussion, but great gig great vibe and the place was just sparkin.

I think there's a film of the Stones' Hyde Park concert, '69, in which case I can say 'I was there', with friends. Highlight was King Crimson, and we left after a few minutes of the Stones, whilst 'Sympathy' was pumping away interminably. All those dead butterflies, too; a bit of a flop, really. 

A few others, such as The Doors/Jefferson Airplane at the Roundhouse, but there's precious little footage of any of that (everyone was maybe too busy enjoying it all to film it ..?).

A triple bill at the Hammersmith Odeon was recorded, I think, with Billy Cobham, Shakti and Weather Report. I've the recordings, but don't know if it was officially released or not. High-flying stuff, though; fond memories.

Yep, I was also at Earls Court for the Wall. There was a live album from those gigs..I Think it's called -  Is There Anyone Out There, I've got it somewhere......

I was also at Knwbworth for Zeppelin, one of about 250,000 people that can be seen in various bits of  video released over the years....

1979/80 a great 12 months for memorable gigs for me.
