The Wildhearts

Who else was there (dates are sketchy but mostly from the mid to late 90's)...

1. Moodswingers at Highbury Garage - I remember going on till around midnight on a sunday... was a bugger getting home but worth it, oh so worth it..

2. London Astoria Xmas Show with Krusher as the compare dude.... and remembering hearing an amazing verison of "SAnta Claus is coming to town", and all the band members swapping positions.This gig had absolutely everything, extended versions (it seemed) of great songs like Weekend and Geordie in Wonderland.

Just two of the best nights of my life

Well those are two of the 8 (at last count) that I have seen these guys rock out many a venue

What are your favourites??

Hey nice one Marc!

Newcastle Mayfair Oct '95 always springs to mind cos it was going to be the last ever Tour!!! I remember them playing a monster set that night!! Stuff I hadnt heard Live before like 'Sky Babies' and 'weekend' were the highlight for me

The Clam Abuse one in the summer of '99 is a memorable one cos I didnt have the CD and just thought 'what the fuck is this?' but being blown away by the whole thing!!!! Plus they played 'Beautiful You, Beautiful Me'...................which was nice

Best Gigs..... tricky narrowed it to three :

1) Xmas Gig at JB's Dudley, nearly 3 hour set full of obscure set additions like, Do Anything, Santa Claus is Coming to Town etc all members were drunk. It was awesome.

2) Izzy Stradlin Support at Nottingham Rock City 1992, simply because it's the first time I saw them. Completely blew me away.

3) Scarborough Castle, amazing atmosphere, a field full of Wildhearts Die Hard Fans. One beer queue??!!!?? Awesome.

I missed the Scarrborough gig

Kinda lost track of life during that period and missed the chance of seeing the two bands I always wanted to see together - Terrorvision and the Wildhearts !!!

Supporting the Almighty at St davids hall

First time i saw them WOW

It has to be at the Harlow Square in 2003 with THE GA GAs in support. God that place is small! Think you could touch the stage with 1 hand and put your pint on the bar with the other.
What a gig. The small venues will always be the best.

i went to the Square gig aswell it was a great gig,they played loads of stuff i hadn't heard live before, splattermainia,News of the world ! but the best time i saw them was at cambridge junction in either 2002 or 2003 i can't remember!! anyway it was the last time i saw them with Danny up until Scarborough! they payed Zomboid with the sounddog babylon ending,and it was fantastic!!

although ive only seen the wildhearts 3 times , a secret gig before the motorhead tour at the newport tj's was absoultley amazing . its was an excellent gig , so intense as its such a small place , the set list was a blinder too , loads of the more obscure songs where played , this was certainly not to be forgotton. anyone else there ????

The Whitehaven gig in 2004 was a good one, an unusual venue, small and full of enthusiastic fans. One lass got on stage and kissed Ginger. I seriously thought I'd lost my hearing permantly afterwards, it took days for my hearing to return.

Did anyone else go to the Sunderland "warm up" gig before the last tour?

I loved the gig at Harlow with The Ga Ga's too, met some cool people that night. Hearing News Of The World was great!
Saw two guys offloading equipment, take an amp case across the road, leave it there and run away laughing. I still don't know who was inside it.
