A friend of mine has been trying to sell a pair of tickets on ebay. At face value. Got a total of 0 bids.

 

[g force]

they were bad enough last time they came back, they'll be risible this time

Was that the Filty Lucre tour? If so they were god awful at Reading.

I'd say he was ripping people off at that price

 

[editor]

I'd go if it was free. Or a fiver, tops.

 

[kyser_soze]

A more gratifying and enlightening evening would be to sit down with a Mills&Boon novel than go and watch this shower.

 

[dash_two]

I just got acouple of cheap ones on ebay. Some johnny come lately smartarse tried outbidding in the last 15 seconds.. but they didn't count on my tactical higher bid!!! Punks not dead!

 

[clandestino]

Get a last minute ebay ticket and come with us tonight!

2 tickets went for £15 earlier, for the 14th Nov

 

[editor]

I can't be arsed with ebay at this late hour. But on the unlikely chance that anyone hears of a ticket going for a fiver for tonight - give me a shout!

 

[Mr Retro]

There was a load of 50 year old punks in the canterbury this evening. . Get a fuckin life lads!

It was literally 98% men too. Women have more sense.

 

[Dubversion]

well I was offered a free ticket for tomorrow.

and i just couldn't be arsed

Rock on!

Monday for me - It'll be a laugh.

Don't much care that its a bit of a pantomime.

Oh no I don't!

I'll have it!

Cool! I shall be heading across to the Canterbury on Monday to take in the pre-gig ambience.

This could almost be as good as seeing Motorhead.

 

[clandestino]

I enjoyed it. They are, as expected, a supercharged pub band fronted by a pantomime dame, but I'm fine with that. And there were moments when I was pretty much kidnapped by the music - compelled to yell along. This bit especially:

When there's no future how can there be sin
We're the flowers in the dustbin
We're the poison in your human machine
We're the future your future

And "Bodies".

The second encore was actually quite shocking as well. It made me think - OK, this is the Sex Pistols...

Good stuff. No AC/DC at Hammersmith, but fun all the same.

 

[Rosco]

I'm there tonight (sat), anymore posts on how they and Goldie have performed up til now gratefully received.

 

[isvicthere?]

I had a ticket to see them in December 1976. It was 75p I seem to recall. This being shortly after the Grundy debacle, Southampton council, along with about 3/4 of the other venues on the tour, banned it.

Wouldn't want to see them now though. The whole thing about punk was its freshness and immediacy. As Mark P said in "Sniffin' Glue": "Don't ask us for back issues coz we ain't got none." Don't forget, the "year of punk" and the Jubilee is five years longer ago than the Queen's accession was at the time.

 

[Hollis]

I'm after another ticket for Monday if anyone's got one..

PiL awful.

Pistols fun.

Righty-ho.

*returns to own universe*

Weird re-reading this thread six years later on.

I've since seen PiL, doing a mix of stuff, including loads of "Metal Box"-era songs, and they were superb. The PiL I saw in the late Eighties were dreadful - no "Metal Box" stuff, mostly songs from their bad LA rock period. It was like seeing a different band - which, Lydon aside, it was, of course.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

PIL are fantastic live at the moment.

between 1979 and 1987, when i saw pil at the astoria, they released four or five albums. why should they have played 6 year old songs in 87 just to please you? and btw he did play careering at the gig.

 

[clandestino]

No such luck at the gig I saw:

I am guessing he probably paid for a ticket, which kind of means he was paying the bands wages.

i paid for a ticket so i guess i was paying the band's wages and i had a bloody good time

my mistake: they didn't play careering (but it was 26 years ago). they did though play religion. and seeing as it was the happy? tour i think it's fair enough they played quite a few songs from the album. disappointed in retrospect they didn't play selfish rubbish, which is one of my favourites.
