Just curious : did anybody see the Girls that many times (about 100) back in the day

very good question, your reply is number 100, coincidence or not

Only three so far,

1990 Wembley Arena, was quite a good gig sound-wise but I got well p!ssed off cos some cnut in fron of me held his arm up all through the gig, obviously taping it (I hope the quality was SH!T!) As if it wasn't bad enough being seated in the back section miles from the action!

1997 Brixton Academy, sound was great, I was in great company and had a great ninght but the Academy is one of my favourite venues.

2006 UEA Narrichh, small but fantastic venue, a little too pissed, danced (read p!ssed bobbing!) through most of the set and had a fantastic time. There were a few songs I didn't recognise but overall, to be in the live experience again was excellent!

Just looking forward to a new album and tour!

No, numero 150! His 100th was a few years ago now I think. Speedy Dave's been touring on a regular basis since the 80s and I think he's done almost as many dates as the band

Dave´s 100th was in munich 03-03-2001.

Hmm, then we had the wrong cake, or I remember it wrongly, I'll have to check with the pics

I remember he had been to more than a hunderd gigs, but it was the 100e gig he went to see them, or something like that?

But guys, don't you remember anything?

Thanks for looking it up Really sorry for getting it wrong guys

I saw Speedy Dave recently with James Ray at the Young Gods gig in Camden.

*** This isn't my first post - I just forgot everything ***

...so is Speedy D independently wealthy? If not, how in hell did he manage it all these years?!

Touring with the Sisters - Free to those who can afford it, expensive to those who can't

...must help to be one of the chosen, eh?

It must be great - 150+ gigs he must have saved a lot of money. Perhaps now he's independently wealthy

not hell but purgatory - after all it was worthy every bloody penny
some great gigs, nice people and places I had never going to go - some really impressive ones
and sure, I twould be cool to meet you.

PS talking about pennies, Martin, I haven't forgotten anything related to Austin

Is this Speedy Dave fella a H'Lander?

Actually, I'm wondering that, myself. He's a bit of a legendary figure on the Dominion list - one of the old guard, if I'm not mistaken...

@Eldo69: how is ol' SpeedyD these days, anyway?

I didn't speak to him as I don't know him as such but he looks mmmm overweight and bald

I know where my next meal is coming, so no rush.

On topic: has Robin seen the band at least a hundred times?

And what did y'all think of the show?
We went to see them in Brussels a couple of weeks ago and that was one helluva show

They were by far the best band I have seen in years. I was fortunate to be in London on the day. It should have lasted hours and hours

small world. my friends went to this gig and liked it very much. pardon, they went to London because of Nitzer Ebb... right... and Young Gods was a day before or after...
