After googling it, I'm just watching pictures now, will listen it later (after Finland has beaten Iceland... right @ramit?) How dare you even suggest such nonsense? Iceland won the game in very added time with a dubious goal delivered off the right arm of Ragnar Sigurðsson, a goal that would never have stood if it were not for a third rate ref and the Norse Gods, but a win is a win and i never doubted it, well sorta never. Speaking of gigs, it's been too long since our last one, but Mrs ramit and i still reminisce about the 10cc concert we attended. Not much left of the original band of course but the standard was there and it was one hell of a good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passed just as they were doing "I'm not in love". Incredible (but true). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My excuse is it was to do the Christmas shopping and my wife (who's Spanish) had never even heard of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't believe this but Graham Gouldman was in the East Midlands at De Montfort Hall with the remnants of 10cc only last week! My old girl went with a friend. apparently some of the crowd nearly lost their false teeth screaming for an encore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, 10cc were also the first band ( of note) that I saw at Sheffield City Hall in 1975. I say of note as we used to see Mud, Sweet and all that lot at The Grey Topper in Jacksdale.

Wonderful description, hope she and her friend had a grand time, sounds like it. i do believe it, it was the same gig as we went to. When they did Silly Love, i thought the roof would come down. Front row central seats, sweet memory. If they return to do another gig here, we are definitely going again. They were one of the greatest bands ever IMO, play them often and just today i revisited my first album with them Deceptive Bends that i bought at 16 and soon to be followed by anything i could lay my hands on with them. At the end guitar solos in Feel The Benefit i cranked it up as high as the speakers would tolerate and moved around the living room as if in some spastic seizure doing luftguitar. Great.

Now i am red with envy. If you get a chance do a fellow Ram a huge favor and scream at Graham, Do Reykjavík Again. At any rate, have a great time on Sunday evening. Sweet you say? i would consider them noteworthy, they were not just bubblegum pop, those boys could rock. i played this album to death back in the days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the Original sound track, and sheet music. Played them both to death. Some of their tracks have not aged well, while others have.

Regarding Original Soundtrack , the first 10cc gig I attended they opened the show with One Night in Paris even though the album hadn't been released (I think it was due out the following Monday) and we sat there totally mesmerised - and a bit bemused! Last two 10cc concerts I've been to they performed 10cc and then Sheet Music albums in full. Brilliant! I don't suppose they will do Original Soundtrack this time but I can hope. When they did Sheet Music although he doesn't perform live any more Kevin Godley sang Old Wild Men on video - perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Just added Elbow to my list. Really looking forward to that one - although its not until March 1st. Upcoming for me: Catfish and the Bottlemen Bastille Panic! at the Disco Slaves Red Hot Chili Peppers Avenged Sevenfold/In Flames/Disturbed Two Door Cinema Club Elbow Would be a pretty decent festival list in my humble opinion!

angieram Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Went to my 10cc gig tonight. Only got about 7cc - the mixing desk packed up about four songs into the second half and they couldn't get it working again so the concert was abandoned! We get to do it all again sometime next spring, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was once inside Wembley Stadium waiting alongside about 78,000 others when they announced Michael Jackson was too ill to perform. After about 6 hours queuing and standing the atmosphere was toxic. Luckily never been at a first class footy match that has been abandoned - but came close a few times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventhough it was so short, it was one of the best live shows I've witnessed: 13 July 1997 The Wildhearts' appearance at Ilosaarirock Festival at Joensuu in Finland ends in a near riot when Ginger incites the audience to join him on stage after the band get involved in a fracas with an allegedly heavy-handed security guard. With the crowd invading the stage, the power is cut and the band are forced to abort their set, having performed only five songs. Danny dislocates his shoulder, and Ginger comes away from the gig with a broken rib, putting the band's forthcoming UK tour in jeopardy. However, despite being advised by doctors to cancel the tour, Ginger decides that the show must go on, and bravely forges ahead. And to add that, tent was pretty close to come down. Nowadays it would be scary, but then it was just fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicME85 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Ha The Wildhearts, saw them in the Hall For Cornwall something like 15 years ago Was at the first of the two Oasis Heaton Park gigs when the generator failed - http://www.nme.com/news/oasis/45121.
