sonofoi Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Outstanding. Both bands. That is all! & sold out - absolutely rammed & bouncing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Spoke to a couple of folk who saw them in Killie on Friday, sounded like a great gig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Couple of mates went to Grand Hall on Friday and said they were immense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It was unbelievably good. First time I've seen them since LIvingston Forum circa 1990. Never fancied it since Hugh left but Baz Warne does a mean impression. Started with The Raven and Straighten Out - what's not to like? Couldn't believe they played I Feel Like a Wog - still sounds outrageous after nearly 40 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cutler Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Both nights were brilliant, 1st time I've been at Grand Hall for a gig, good venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Both nights were brilliant, 1st time I've been at Grand Hall for a gig, good venue. Been to few gigs there. Ocean colour scene, Proclaimers and saw Kasabian play there last year weeks before the headlined Glastonbury. Kasabian was in my top 5 gigs ever and I go to a lot of gigs!

aaid Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Last gig I went to at the Grand Hall was the Pogues in 1985 on the Rum, Sodomy and the Lash tour. I was at the Glasgow gig on Saturday, which was great, spoke to a few people who'd been at the Killie gig and they said it was all the K&L punks from back in the day. While queuing for the gents, a guy behind me uttered the immortal phrase. "Hurry up for fuxsake, I've got to empty my colostomy bag".

Was pleased to hear it passed off without incident. Punk gigs I recall from Killie usually had a rammy or two. While queuing for the gents, a guy behind me uttered the immortal phrase.

adamntg Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Queuing for the gents was the only drawback. What does it hold, 3000? More? And there's room for five guys to pish at one time, having pushed back from the front which takes another ten minutes. It wouldnae happen at the Barras, that's all I'll say. They understand the male bladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so does everyone else given the length of the queues on Saturday. It's not easy when you're five pints deep and your seal is burst...
