Brixton Academy Stockwell Road, Brixton, London SW9 9SL
This gig was on the day of Grandma's funeral, I went along after. Left the funeral, went back to London still in my suit and went here.
I attended this one, more from this year in my gigography for 1997. I saw Placebo probably 6 times; Mean Fiddler (1996), London Astoria (1997), Brixton Academy (1997), Glastonbury (1997), Shepherds Bush Empire ('98), + V99 @ Hylands Park (1999), though I still have some bragging tagging to do so this may go up. Part of every gig I went to from '87 to 2024. It's an obvious step from my Best Gigs Ever blog post. Yeah I know it's a bit nerdy, let's let that go though, I'm enjoying remembering these things.
Thu May 22 1997
