Therapy? with support Kerbdog and Joyrider. Leisureland, Galway 94.
Savage show. Just before Troublegum came out.

Aye Motley, welcome aboard, You prob know it already but the Crue played Belfasts Ulster Hall in 1986, NEVER a Dublin date tho, Nikki Sixx & Vince Neil must be secret staunch loyalists ;)

NO WAY! I had no idea, someone HAS to post me a picture of that stub or photos...if they have them

I taught Motley Crue had never set foot on Irish soil

Even Nikki cancelled, or claimed to have never made, the Brides of Destruction booking for Whelans in 2004

Yeah apparently the Motley support slot for GnR 2006 was a ticket shifting stunt too, Wish i had a stub for the Belfast gig mate, bound to be a few out there, I Knoew a few bands done that, Played up north but never down these parts, Cinderella & Kiss done it around that time too..

Hi

Just been reading about the SFX. Do you remember the year of the Killing Joke gig? Was it 94? Was talking to someone about this recentkly(Killing Joke played here a few weeks back) and he was adamant it was The Tivoli they played.

Any ideas?

Luke G · 24-11-2010 1:15am

SFX as far as i know man, And that gig last month was The Best gig i've been top this year, Killing Joke are a class act live, I've actually got the shirt from the 94 gig, SFX is the date on it, Hope this helps?? was the last time they played here until this year.

Velvet Jones · 24-11-2010 10:21am

Hi

Yeah. I was right! Was SFX. He is still adamant about Tivoli though. Was at the Button Factory. Superb gig. Went over to the Hammersmith gig too. Great fun. They actually played Dublin(Music Centre) and Belfast in 2003 (didnt make it to either).
Theres a bootleg of the Dublin gig out there(audience recording). It isnt bad. You should check it out.(Its an audience recording).
What do you think of the new album? I think its great. There isnt many old geezers out there making a racket like them. They're doing it in reverse. Getting heavier as they get older!!!

RayCon · 24-11-2010 11:11am

For the morning thats in it ...... :cool:

honru · 24-11-2010 11:24am

Probably the only tickets in this thread from the noughties but sure we'll let this one slide. :P

RayCon · 24-11-2010 11:35am

thanks boss

calex71 · 24-11-2010 3:08pm

Epic thread, wish there was a thank all posts button theres just too many

Some of the venues getting mentioned, I hadn't thought about in years. Don't have my tickets here as they are at my parents house. Must have a look through them next time I'm up there.

I think it's a shame they don't do fancy tickets for shows anymore, remember the cool ones for REM in slane and a couple of other's

What a great thread. Some very sweet and very bittersweet memories associated with some of those tickets!

Memories of Big Country at the Phoenix Park in '83, made it to the 2nd or 3rd row from the stage by the end, Stuart Adamson was literally crying like a baby with the emotion of it all. Amazing. Big Self, Eurythmics, Simple Minds were on that bill as well as U2, what a line up.

Plus that Lloyd Cole & the Commotions gig at the SFX one Sunday night around Christmas '85, I went to that on my own and the entire front 3 rows were screaming teenage girls as he was a heart throb at the time! Saw him solo in Whelans last year and wondered were any of those teenage ladies present

Yeah have a magazine from August 83 with the Phoenix park review, Shows Stuart Adamson R.I.P Embracing the crowd down the front, Big Country were a real crowd pleaser that day (And every other gig they played, What a band!!) & Seen Lloyd Cole in whelans myself, haha minus the teenage girls up front

:D

It's still there. Very few gigs on in there thou. Morrissey was the last big gig there a year or two ago.

Anyone have a stub for AC/DC in the SFX 1979? Heard they played. Only Bon show in Ireland i think. Highway to Hell tour. Was told they played.

Luke G · 28-11-2010 1:24am

AC/DC Was the Olympic Ballroom man a friend of mine mentioned having pics or a stub a while back, Will see to it asap ;-)
