I thought that 1964 concert in Bradford was the only one they didn't sell out? Typical Bradford apathy!

I don't remember that, is it really true or just one of those stories? Mind, the Gaumont, in its original condition before it was partitioned, held around 3k so it would take a big audience to totally fill it.

I'd put that down to good taste more than apathy.

One of the few bands I have seen at Bradford Uni. Must have been 17 years ago at least. I seem to remember a topless dancer.

It's one of my Dad's oft repeated tales. I'm not sure to whether to believe it or not. Like his stories about once being a lion tamer or being Steve McQueen's mate.







Granted the first few Beatles albums are a bit formulaic to modern ears but Rubber Soul and Revolver are superb albums.



Better than owt Mott the Hoople did anyway

Everything has its time. I have never got the Beatles adulation, not a patch on the stuff the Stones, Kinks or Pretty Things were doing. Discuss (FA - you are limited to one side of A4).

As someone said in Manchester, "if this was the seventies they'd have their norks out".



I saw Nirvana at Bradford Uni'. Spiritualized too. They came on to strobe lights and a five minute long wall of noise and it felt like half the crowd fell over from the sensory overload. Awesome times.



I don't remember the last time there was a gig here. Must be ten years ago at least, not counting InFest.

I turned down the chance to see Nirvana at Bradford Uni in 1991





I went to the Mock Turtles there instead





The last band I saw there was The Fall in either 94 or 95.

Can't believe I missed the Fall. The only other band I recollect playing in my time was Bjorn Again. I didn't go, obviously, but the campus was filled with mock 70s Swedes for the day, which was nice.

I saw Bjorn Again in Brighton in the early 90s with Odyssey (!) as the support act. Would kill to see Odyssey again, they were brilliant live. That said, it's a longer period of time between then and now than it was between then and when they were famous.

Yep I saw Bjorn Again for some unknown reason at Brad Uni sometime in the early 90s.



I was one of those mock Swedes. Why I went I don't recall as I've never been into Abba.

You could not be more wrong.



Might have to call in at the Castle Cafe and give a challenger Breakfast a go...

Was it so you could blend in without the hassle of having to hire fancy dress?

I thought the 'mock Swedes' [iwere[/i wearing fancy dress?
