Carter USM about 12-13 years ago in Leeds. I think it was on their farewell tour.

Fucking carnage. In a good way.

First gig I ever went to was a carter USM gig. Brixton Academy 1992.

Most Energietc would have been Underworld at Reading 1996. Or Daft Punk, The Event 2, Brighton 1997.

Early Carter gigs were ace and Brixton always nuts.

I'd rather walk alone.

They were supported by Sultans of Ping FC who were also good fun.

Pogues Royal Court 1990

My first proper gig i ever went to so may have distorted memories but I just remember it felt like there were crop circles being carved all over the place in the crowd as people kept falling all over each other

"energetic" music probably isn't my thing but I was massively impressed with the lead singer when I took my daughter to see Paramore. She never stopped bouncing around the stage, the singer not my daughter. Tremendous gig that I really didn't look forward to.

Ministry - Manchester Academy, 1992. Fucking brutal.

Nuclear Assault and Dark Angel, Manchester Ritz 1990. Black eyes and a dislocated shoulder among our crew as the security (a rarity in those days) just let the crowd get on with it, including stage diving. Too many death metal/thrash gigs to count, really.

Slipknot on their first tour at the Academy: crowd was essentially one big fight.

Ned's Atomic Dustbin in Leeds 1991, including massive congas of lads with several people on their shoulders.

Converge playing all of Jane Doe in Manchester: fellas coming out the pit with teeth in their hands.

Got it all together and I'm ready to seethe.

New Order - Reading Festival 1998.

I lasted out the opening track (Regret) at the front but getting punched in the head randomly gets on your tits eventually. Euphoric first NO gig, that aside.

Saw them again in Hyde Park one year and down the front was empty until their hardcore (known as 'the Vikings') steamed in for more middle-aged moshing.

Ditto Carter in Barrowlands, same farewell I think (although they did do 2 farewell mini tours 🤣

I'd rather walk alone.

I saw The Weddoes last October. It was that very night I knew I was too old to be at the front ever again.

Loads of 'me' from 30 years ago there. Great night as always.
