Lists, lists, lists...

For those of you who thought you were going to get the next section of the book today, you are wrong. For those of you who thought that piddy77 was going to jump on the list band wagon currently rolling, then you are right...I really can't resist a really good list....

Todays list....the top 15 acts that I have enjoyed live (in no particular order)

1. Prince...has to be the 'Lovesexy' tour though. Have seen him 32 times and counting!
2. Queen ...The Works tour...lucky to see Freddie sing!
3. David Bowie...Astoria Theatre, invited personally to a gig for 300 people that he did...wow!
4. The Cure...all tours, just always amaze me how together they are on stage.
5. Siouxsie and the Banshees...especially the 'Ju-Ju' tour where i got to sleep in the same room as Robert Smith after going to a party with them.
6. Diana Ross...the glam queens all join hands for a glam night out!
7. Kraftwerk...it was just so surreal
8. Katie Melua...we were there at her first ever gig (Matt, Lisa and I)...bloody marvellous but loses marks for shite support acts
9. Sigue Sigue Sputnik...just absolutely amazing live, never really transferred to vinyl well.
10. Mike Oldfield...Tubular Bells 10th anniversary concert 1982, wembley...just absolutely amazing and so many guest stars on stage.
11. Pink Floyd...Venice, in the middle of the lagoon sat in a gondola with the floating stage in front of us...just so so wild...
12. The Tubes...if only for Fee Waybills cock!
13. Depeche Mode...always consistenly electric live
14. U2...when the first album came out in a small London club, i was there at the start.
15.cocteau twins...elizabeth was so nervous she couldn't stop shaking, but out came the voice of an angel...

Hope you enjoyed that, it's nice to reminisce...

Just a word of warning about the blog tomorrow, I did wonder whether to print it or not but i gave in and will present to you Steves blog unedited and uncensored...serious warning though that those who are easily offended by sexual writings please do not read tomorrows blog.

I love you all....blogmaster x
