I've lived in Brighton since 1989 and my first gig here was Snuff upstairs at The Richmond (now a student budget hotel...that is until I win the Lottery and buy it and rename it The Richmond!!). Great place. dee_seejay https://www.blogger.com/profile/09343731363959003167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517162803591368615.post-77457635631441972732016-02-15T08:40:08.042+00:002016-02-15T08:40:08.042+00:00Snuff! I didn't know they were still going!! E...Snuff! I didn't know they were still going!! Every time when I went to London in the late 80's/early-mid 90's, I would meet up with John Peel and ask him if he could recommend a gig to go to. On one occasion he urgend me to see Snuff in a venue in Stoke Newington, which I did and they blew me away! What he didn't tell me though was that Stoke Newington is located quite some distance away from the City ... there was no tube or bus back and of course we couldn't afford a taxi then ... but a fabulous gig, nevertheless!Dirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02907703583893968857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517162803591368615.post-75124501732451989432016-02-15T08:39:50.258+00:002016-02-15T08:39:50.258+00:00Bob Mould was responsible for a couple of the loud...Bob Mould was responsible for a couple of the loudest shows I've ever attended. I started the Husker Du gig at the Electric Ballroom about halfway back from the stage, but within a few songs had been forced flat against the wall at the back of the building by the sheer ferocity of the noise, unable to peel myself off until the end, by which time the place looked like a war zone. <br />I saw Sugar a handful of times, but one show in particular sticks out as being on a par, volume wise, with Husker Du. On the way out at the end, a mate asked what I thought of their version of 'Armenia city in the Sky'. It was a song I loved, but I hadn't even been able to discern it through the cacophony.<br />I think my favourite Bob Mould gig would have been the first I caught on the 'Workbook' tour, an album that contained some of his very best songs I reckon. Did he play anything from it at The Globe?<br />Great reviews Robster. You got me fired up. I'm off to annoy the neighbours with some deafening early morning music!The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517162803591368615.post-72479340464149319912016-02-15T08:36:56.356+00:002016-02-15T08:36:56.356+00:00I didn't go to see Bob in Mcr.
