Without doubt one of the worst gigs I have ever been to was The Stone Roses comeback gig at Heaton Park on the opening night. It was blowing a gale, the sound was horrendous and Ian Brown was murder, the rest of the band carried him. With it being so windy the sound was drifting from left to right. There was a right bunch of toss pots in the crowd as well. Mind getting the tram from Piccadilly Gardens and some whopper pulled the emergency brake for a laugh. This was about 5:30 at night, peak time and the tram was full and standing. 40 minutes we sat there before the tram driver managed to get it going again and by the time we got to Heaton Park station, which is a fair bit from the city centre virtually the whole tram emptied and the station became a giant urinal because we'd all been on the bevy. It was horrendous.

Seen the Stone Roses again at Glasgow Green as well and Ian Brown was just as bad there too. I was in the front pit against the barrier and I swear this is true, 2 jakey wifeys behind me and 3 other mates I was with were so determined to get on the barrier one of them actually ducked under one of my mates arm a bit him hard as **** on his arm just down from his armpit, he flung his elbow back as a natural reaction and caught jakey woman on the coupon. He was so pissed off he buggered off, after the gig he showed us his arm and there was clear teeth marks where the wifey had clamped her teeth down into his flesh, horrendous behaviour. As someone mentioned above, Primal Scream supported along with The View. Primal Scream were dreadful and Gillespie started rabbiting on about the obelisk in the middle of Glasgow Green, he looked like he was out his face but The View were great though.

I was lucky (or unlucky) enough to be one of the 300 at the Bongo club to see The View. Was really looking forward to that gig in a small venue where you could literally reach out and touch the band. Unfortunately the band walked off after about 6 songs after some utter fanny hit Kyle Falconer in the head pint a pint of some form of liquid, I'm not convinced it was beer though. That was that, gig over thanks to one rasper.

The Streets at the Corn Exchange during T on the Fringe one year. Dreadful and £35 a ticket as well.

Nickleback at the SECC, dragged along by a few mates. Just a noise and not enjoyable at all.

Babyshambles. Terrible and Doherty was clearly on something strong.

Honourable mention to Kraftwerk at the Usher Hall/Playhouse - all seated gig? Not me but my good mate and his laddie got thrown out for standing and singing - seriously. They couldn't believe it.
