Now this one was bloody special ! Metallica playing in this tiny place, just had to be done 🙂 Pretty sure at least one of the video cameras was permission shot. Also got a boot CD of the show :

 Does that VIP Laminate look a bit dodgy to you? Well, it IS ! A mate from Netherlands was following the tour & always got guest laminates. When he was at the Wembley show, he posted his pass to me as he hoped I’d try sneakily film the show. Well, I took the gf with me & I’d made another copy of the pass…colour photo copy & laminating at local print shop! So easy. They worked a treat. But I didn’t film the show as lost the guts to do it…
Bruce Dickinson, @ Rock City, Nottingham 7-4-95
Tyketto, Tigertailz, AB/CD, @ Rock City, Nottingham 10-3-95
This one also got filmed 😉
Queensryche, @ Royal Centre, Nottingham 13-2-95
Big Electric Cat (Chris from Loud), @ Rios,Bradford ,4-11-94
I was a MASSIVE fan of the Bradford based band called Loud. Such a shame they broke up. Well, i got in contact with their manager, Andy @ Far north music, & went up & bought various memorabilia from him. This included one of Chris own personal demos. I also got in contact Gerard Rolfe, the bands old live sound engineer. Managed to get a couple of board tapes. Thanks Gerard. I also found out that Chris was doing a gig with his new band, “Big Electric Cat” at Rios. Gerard sent me a bunch of free tickets. I also got permission to film the show 🙂
Tori Amos, @ Royal Centre, Nottingham, 22-4-94
The Wonder Stuff, @ Corn Exchange,Cambridge 19-4-94
The Wonder Stuff, Gigolo Aunts, @ Kettering Arena, 8-4-94
The Wonder Stuff, @ Assembly Rooms, Derby 15-3-94
It’s no coincidence that The Wonder Stuff feature the most this year. In the past, i had the most fun at their gigs. At this time, i was still in mourning for my dad & i just thought/hoped some Stuffies gigs would cheer me up. They did to a degree.
