Inspired by Hoarder magazine I spent five minutes looking through one of dozen or so shoe boxes full of stuff I can't bring myself to throw away. I found these tickets. Shame they haven't got the years on them. I'm guessing the earliest of these are 1987, RTFC and one of the Ramones is later. GIUPDATE: The green and white Ramones is 1987 (I was 16); Ramones with Joey is 1991; RTFC might be 1995.
That first Ramones ticket is very cool, I didn't see them until 93 though they were still awesome then. I've got a huge stack of ticket stubs too, think my first one is Saxon at The Ritz in Lincoln in 1988
ReplyDeleteAwesome stuff, i have many shoeboxes with treasures inside... old patches, stickers, mascots i should take pics....
ReplyDeleteWe are not Alone hahaahaah
Gaye Bykers on Acid - superb. I saw them a couple of times at about the same time as this ticket, which I reckon is probably '87. A Leicester band, weren't they?
ReplyDeleteMost definitely Mick. I saw the Gay Bikers many times at the Princess Charlotte in Leicester along with Crazyhead. That must put it late 80s as I lived there from 1984 - 1988. I still have loads of ticket stubs too, and button badges...
ReplyDeleteI still prefer Lesbian dopeheads on mopeds..
ReplyDeleteThe Manchester Ramones gig was 1991. The Leeds show was 1987. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ramones_concerts).
ReplyDeleteThe Gaye Bikers gig was also 1987.
