Jerry Lee I have seen few times but only because he was on a bill with Little Richard and Chuck Berry every time I saw them. I saw The Comets at the Tennessee RnR Club in north London and they were brilliant. The same year I got to shake hands with PaulJPMNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509217787466468416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-41112918828987741962019-08-24T07:55:24.873+01:002019-08-24T07:55:24.873+01:00PaulJPMN

I saw Scotty Moore and DJ Fontana at the Mean Fiddler. And Bo Diddley at the Clapham Grand, one of Vince Powers venues at the time. And The Pogues at Finsbury Park in 1987 - the first Fleadh, another VP promotion I think.

Although 'Extremities...' had done well and aligned them with the burgeoning industrial metal scene, 'Pandemonium' took that and mixed it with the rave/techno music of the time (something the likes of Ministry and NiN weren't doing). The end result was a thoroughly modern alternative rock album with enough of the Christopher Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05236891604706531905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-17571692280987527152019-08-18T17:24:00.024+01:002019-08-18T17:24:00.024+01:00I don‘t remember it being hot in the venue in 94 b...I don‘t remember it being hot in the venue in 94 but I was near enough to feel the heat from the fire breather‘s flames and they were big flames!

From what I've seen on YouTube, the show certainly was flat out. But then they were about to release the 'Pandemonium' album, their biggest commercial success (especially in America) so it makes sense.<br /><br />It was strange (but not Christopher Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05236891604706531905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-12259707270479590222019-08-16T20:28:22.471+01:002019-08-16T20:28:22.471+01:00Christopher, thanks for this.

I forgot how small the venue is. It did seem a short set for them and 1994 was a better performance but I still enjoyed the night despite the heat. It is very long time since I have left a venue feeling warm and soggy and PaulJPMNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509217787466468416noreply@blogger.com
