I saw the Waterboys in Lpool in the winter of 85\6 - loads of Liverpool\Beatles tunes in between their stuff. Red Army Blues.... they should have been HUGE.murf wrote:Waterboys was 86. I saw them the same weekend elsewhere (MK Bowl supporting Simple Minds amongst others). That was only my second gig after seeing U2 there the year before with a rather poor supporting bill including REM, The Ramones and Billy Bragg. Shame it rained at times, a big favtor at big outdoor gigs.blahblah wrote:The Teardrop Explodes in '81/2, and the erratic Cope is still a hero..
A thing in Sefton Park in the late 80's and still pi55ed that I didn't hit Glastonbury in 88 or 89 when the Waterboys rocked it big style. (They were shockingly good live until Mike went really god squaddie.)
I also sat thru Val at my parents behest during the last and worst family holiday in early 80's.
My aged memory says 88\9 for when they rocked Glastonbury with a sunny early morning going back to my flat and the wing mirror of a white van cracking my wrist as I "YO'ed" a cab on the other side of Upper Parliament St the day after my birthday.
