KISS plus Rage Against The Machine, Skunk Anansie, Thunder and Three Colours Red and L7. Got freebies from the NME and drank all the money I saved. Kind of lost it about five songs in and ended up in Covent Garden. Finsbury Park
Guns n' Roses Izzy Stradlin's last ever show. Support Nine Inch Nails and Skid Row - Sebastian Bach swore too much and got them barred for life. Wembley Stadium
Blur Reading warmup, got very drunk on vodka red bulls, fell in a bush,and you can see me on the South Bank Show Special that was filmed there. Off to Reading the next day. Goldsmiths College
Queen Only Brian May and Roger Taylor, with Paul Rodgers on vocals, no John Deacon.
Brixton Academy
Super Furry Animals Soho Live with Mansun and Fun Lovin' Criminals. I met Noel Gallagher at this show. Mean Fiddler
The Darkness I dragged Neil and Camilla, of The Face and Popbitch along. IT WAS ME THAT MADE THE DARKNESS POPLIAR! Bull and Gate
The Tears plus The Subways. First official gig for Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler's new band, though they went and did a couple of sneaky warmups before this in Oxford and somewhere else. Not that great really. Heaven
Reading Festival 1999 Blur headlined, not a very strong lineup I don't think. I was working mostly, and managed to lose my first mobile phone that work lent me. Reading Festival
Monsters of Rock AC/DC, Metallica, Motley Crue, Queensryche, and the Black Crowes. A pretty special line up at the top of the bill, shame it was the shortest Donington bill ever. Got a coach up from Portsmouth. m/ Castle Donington
Travis With Starsailor and Ryan Adams and I think Remy Zero. A Warchild benefit night, I quite literally have the t-shirt for this one mate. Astoria
