Re: Embarrassing Gigs

I had free tickets to see Barry Manilow at the NEC.

The most entertaining 2 hours I've ever spent at a concert.
Simply professional!

Re: Embarrassing Gigs

My most embarrassing was also Bucks Fizz, but it was the original line up. I used to love them, I am ashamed to admit, but hey if I can't say it on here then where can i? lol

Re: Embarrassing Gigs

"Buck's Fizz" Glasgow Appollo 1985 ! I actually did want to go as my sister had their album "Get Ready" which had some genuinely good tracks on it....or so I thought at the time...oh and my best mate was bringing one of his chums along from school who I fancied but turned out to be an utter bore. Anyway the audience was just full of wee girls and their parents and they just sat in their seats and applauded politely as if they were at the cinema....obviously had no sense of pop-concert etiket! The group themselves weren't too bad....shame it all ended in tears....and David Van Day....yuk!

Re: Embarrassing Gigs

OK. ...I confess, I liked ONJ too, I used to play my big sisters LP 'Totally Hot' by Olivia when my sister went out. tThis was before she did the Grease film... (Olivia, ...I mean)

That's she album she was promoting on the tour. Unfortunately i didn't like ONJ. See previous post.

now wrong with the Neutron Bomb herself branny
Stunningly gorgeous with the most beautiful voice to match.

I was only 10 so oblivious to the delights of beautiful women and music. I was more interested in Star wars at the time.

... My embarrassing one is Olivia Newton John in 1978 when I was 10. My Dad fancied her and used taking me as an excuse to go. ..

Re: Embarrassing Gigs

Doctors of Madness. Great gig, but I was only 16, not used to alcohol and ended up backstage, merry as a newt. I vaguely remember asking Urban Blitz (such a sweetie ) if that was his real name , I sincerely hope it was just a drunken dream that I asked him if his hair was naturally that colour (blue) , and I definately remember the screams of anguish (Kid Strange's) after tripping over his pride and joy - his Kid-shaped guitar .

Elkie Brooks! ...I dunno?? Me and my cousin were about fourteen/ 1978 and we just went cos she came to the Caird Hall in Dundee. We only knew her cos at that time she had 'Sunshine After The Rain' in the charts around then. We just went for a laff really, but, ..being fourteen, ..we thought she was a bit of a babe with her husky voice and all. I know! ...Sad, eh?

Re: Embarrassing Gigs

My Wife's going to see Lionel Richie in a couple of weeks for the umpteenth time so i can't compete with that. My embarrassing one is Olivia Newton John in 1978 when I was 10. My Dad fancied her and used taking me as an excuse to go. Also seen The Nolans.

I'd quite happily have gone to see S Club 7 in concert If only to see the lovely Rachel in the flesh. (Yes I am that shallow)

Re: Embarrassing Gigs

Took a girl to see Bon Jovi at Wembley in 1987. Nearly threw up on the overdose of Rock cliches. At one point the poodled permed ponce flew across the audience on a wire to a platform in the centre of the arena where he did a couple of solo acoustic tracks before swaggering back down the aisle to the stage. He passed to within a gnat's of me and to this day I regret not sticking a foot out and tripping the ****. Still, might not have had quite such an enjoyable time after the gig if I had.

Re: Embarrassing Gigs

I've a really big confession for this thread - back in 1988 I had to take my sister to a....

BROS CONCERT

None of her mates wanted to go (not surprisingly) and my mum wouldn't let her go on her own so I had to take her. As if that's not bad enough the support act was PAT & MICK.


Oh, the shame. :cry:

LOL i understand your shame cos Bros was my most concert i have ever been to

Re: Embarrassing Gigs

Couldn't remember how many of them there were, for some reason I was thinking there were 7 members. Must have been thinking of a different group.
