A threadcleanse for my brain.
18 years ago I spent an evening with one of my all time favourite bands. It was glorious.

You always know what to expect from an AC/DC show and we got it.
The last time Malcolm was to play in Scotland, I believe 💔

In a story too long and boring to put on here, today's #gigiversary is when #MotleyCrue met me and signed a picture I drew. It was also they day I said 'hello' to, well 'hero' is too strong a word, but someone I had and have respected for many years, Mr #RossHalfin

Not been around on here much, but I'll pop back in with the occasional #gigiversary.
Today is the spectacle that is/was @motleycrue.bsky.social Supported by #PapaRoach.
Tommy was 'under doctor's orders' not to drum. Will Hunt did a great job, but Tommy came on to do the encore stuff anyway 😁

Ticket for Alice Cooper and Dio in Edinburgh 2001
Today's #gigiversary is one of the best double bills I've had the joy to witness.
Front row seats, blood on my ticket, #EricSinger drumstick, #Dio plectrum, a bit of balloon and two amazing showmen.

Ticket for Wayne Hussey in Edinburgh 2003
What a great #gigiversary today. The magical tunesmithing of #WayneHussey (our glorious leader from #TheMission) with just a piano for company on stage. Sublime.

Ticket for Lenny Kravitz at the Glasgow Barrowland Ballroom in 1991
Today's #gigiversary. It's only bloody Lenny Kravitz!
Apparently a diva off stage, but the guy knows a tune or two.

Picture of a concert pass for Cradle Of Filth with photo circled
I got the chance to go into the #photopit for the first time, thanks to an online mag I'd done some reviews for.
Everything about the night was wild! I had fun though, and luckily have been in pits since and seem to have the hang of it now 😁

Ticket for Megadeth supported by The Almighty in Edinburgh in 1991
Today's #gigiversary is #Megadeth, #TheAlmighty and #AliceInChains. The Almighty were the best band on the night, and it was a high bar! #gig #livemusic

Ticket for Soundgarden in Glasgow in 1992
Today's #gigiversary is the only time I got to see Soundgarden. #Badmotorfinger is an absolute diamond of an album, and to see them in their prime, in full flight with the 900 or so crowd in the palms of their sweaty hands, is a memory that will never leave me.
#CorrosionOfConformity were support.

Ticket for Judas Priest supported by Scorpions in Glasgow 2005
A mere 2 days after seeing #KylieMinogue, we were back in the very same hall delighting in the #Scorpions and #JudasPriest. Cracking #gigiversary.

Ticket for Kylie Minogue's Showgirl tour in 2005.
Today's #gigiversary is the ear-feast that is the wonderful #KylieMinogue.
A joyous occasion to behold.

Ticket for Vow Wow and Leatherwolf in Edinburgh in 1989
Midweek snow wasn't going to stop me from getting today's #gigiversary! #VowWow were fabulous as expected- the low ceiling was not however helpful to the statuesque #NeilMurray who was on bass duties. Bumped into #Leatherwolf afterwards (nice guys).

Ticket stub for Uriah Heep and Nazareth in Glasgow
Running late for this #gigiversary so missed most of #UriahHeep. #Nazareth were on fire however and were recorded for a live DVD.

Ticket to see Asia in Glasgow in 2002.
Today's #gigiversary, (20 years and a day after their debut album came out) Asia.
Supported by, and who we really went to see, Danny Vaughn.
Decent night over all.

Ticker for T'pau at the Edinburgh Playhouse.
T'pau had had a couple of hits, so why not. I can't remember a great deal about this one except the usual stage door shenanigans, and the worst version of 'I'm A Believer' I've ever heard.
(This was before we knew that Carol Decker was a right-wing nutjob.)

Ticket for The Wonder Stuff in Glasgow
Today's #gigiversary is the glorious #WonderStuff, supported by #JesusJones and #MegaCity4
All bands on top of their game. As were the Glasgow Transport Police who made sure I left Glasgow that night (but that's a tale too long for here)...

Ticket for Prince in Glasgow in1995
Today's #gigiversary
In 1995, £23.50 was a lot of money, (Metallica in '96 was £15) but couldn't pass up the chance to see him at the peak of his powers, promoting my favourite album of his.
Notable for one tiny piece of feedback, one side-eye and (potentially) one p45.

Ticket for Firehouse, Pride and Vaughan on the Renfrew Ferry
And the 2nd #gigiversary today is #Firehouse, #Pride and the one we really went to see, #DannyVaughn.
Before all these rock cruises started, we got to go on a boat for a gig. A strange experience for sure, but a good time was had by all.

Ticket for Zodiac Mindwarp and The Love Reaction.
Today's #gigiversary.
Before #SteelPanther, there was #ZodiacMindwarp. This was my first time in the #BarrowlandBallroom, my first time seeing #TheWonderStuff and also the #gig I attribute my #HearingLoss to.
It was an incredible night, and I have #noregrets.
(Wear #earplugs at gigs, folks!)

Ticket for Scorpions at The Edinburgh Playhouse
#gigiversary 2
The first album I ever bought was #Blackout, so no surprise that I was at the box office as soon as the #SavageAmusement tour was announced. Even better when we found the band were doing a pre-show meet and greet!
Also memorable as one of the very few 'white' tour shirts I've bought.
