your mention of Eek a Mouse reminds me I didn't list any of the fab reggae gigs I've seen (mostly at SOAS and Brixton (Fridge?) back in the 70s/80s...
Prince Far I (SOAS)
Peter Tosh (Rainbow)
Culture (Rainbow)
Misty in Roots (SOAS)
Horace Andy (Brixton)
ooh and loads more probably...

Just remembered! Best ever gig was The Jesus & Mary Chain at Coventry Poly in 1985 or 1986. Bobby Gillespie was drums and someone threw a shoe at Jim and he shouted CUNT! really loud at the audience.

re Spiritualised I recall earlier tours being superior ie ones with The Verve & Mercury Rev.
They did also appear with the Gorkys at the Hacienda Manchester which I reckon was the last ever live band performance at that venue ( 3/4 years ago )
Unless someone knows different..lol

Heh... I loved them... I used to wait until me mum and dad went out and then record loads of guitar feedback on tape so I could play along with it later ... tee hee :O)
They should have split up after Psychocandy and disappeared and then they would have been the largest rock legend ever.
Uh huh-huh...

The Wolf Eyes show I saw last night! Especially openers Rubb-O-Cement did a really surreal show, and Pengo did their best-ever show so far...
Seeing Costes at the Bug Jar (same place I saw the above show...) Incredibly shamanistic performance art.
Butthole Surfers 1987 (which I've discussed here before...)
Echo And The Bunnymen at Darian Lakes 1987.
Patti Smith -- twice in Buffalo last spring
Brighter Death Now with Slogun and Projeck Hat at the Empty Bottle Chicago.
Dimmu Borgir (I think I spelled that right...) in Buffalo, I forgot where.
