2019 Gigography of Paul Clarke

PaulyGigography ≫ 2019

Getting there with my gigography now, the list of all the gigs I remember going to, from 1987 up to about now. It's a natural step from my Best Gigs Ever post. Well that's the theory, so there's A LOT missing. I have chucked in details from the big bag of old gig tickets that I gathered while I was in London, + a box of old concert tickets and things from Mum and Dad's loft. Also got lots of gaps regarding festival lineups, they'll prob'ly stay missing, it's so hard to remember. There's a stack missing where I've lost tickets or never had them, most of the guestlist actions during my NME and Popex years and that. Yeah I know it's a bit geeky, let's let that go though, I'm having fun remembering these things. At least I've not started scanning the tickets in yet Of course I have scanned the tickets now[^But I've lost the bag of tickets before I scanned them all in!]...

KISS at the O2 Arena @ O2 Arena

Pondered going to this for a while then mentioned it to Jack when we were at Suede + "oh yes, I'm going I might have a spare ticket" and yes it happened! I don't like this venue so it could be / should be the last time to see them on their "End Of The Road" tour.Writing this after the event, support was from a Rolf Harris style painter David Garibaldi who threw up huge portraits of John Lennon, Freddie Mercury and KISS live on stage.All the pyrotechnics + things at this gig. They opened with Detroit Rock City + ended with Rock'n'Roll All Night, + in between was some killer + a little filler... I will write it up in posts connected to this.…
