GIGS THAT I'VE ATTENDED - 1990
Any links on this page lead to reviews, memories, ticket stubs, photographs and other memorabilia from my collection.
The idea is to have a page for each concert eventually - when I find time to trawl trough the archives.
If anyone reading this was at any of these concerts and would like to jog my memory then feel free to contact me.

FISH  <5> Edinburgh Playhouse
27/03/90
£9 I think this was the first gig I ever drove to - quite stressful - not helped by the then girlfrien telling me everything I was doing wrong. I think we broke up soon afterwards - or we may have already broken up and this was the 'contractual obligation' gig (ie. I'd already bought the tickets).
Yngwie MALMSTEEN  <1>
CHINA  <1>
Edinburgh Playhouse
2/04/90
£ I think I saw more plectrums thrown to the audience at this one gig than over the course of the rest of the year. When I saw a photo of support band China in Kerrang! I almost fell off my seat - one of them seemed to my double.
QUIREBOYS  <1> London Hammersmith Odeon

JETHRO TULL  <4> Aberdeen Capitol
4/05/90
£ Due to a delayed RailAir bus and BA letting somebody else called Anderson onto a fully booked flight I had to wait for the next one - missing all bar about the last half hour of the show. To say I was pissed off would be an understatement..

Alannah MYLES  <1>
Edinburgh Playhouse
2/06/90
£ As I was in town for the Dio show the previous day I hung around in the hope of picking up a ticket for this show (not having bought one in advance). Luckily I found somebody selling one and this time had a front row seat in the Circle. I quite liked the debut Alannah Myles album, the single Black Velvet in particular, but live she didn't really cut it, black velvet costume or not.

MARSHALL LAW  <1> Aberdeen Ritzy
2/11/90
£ A very Judas Priest sounding band but none the worse for it. Powerful rock played well.
THUNDER  <1>
(The Electric Boys)  <1>
Edinburgh Playhouse
22/11/90
£ The Back Street Symphony Part 2 Tour. Looking at the date list at ThunderPoint I note this was the third time thunder played Edinburgh and the second time at the Playhouse. I assume work prevented me from attending the previous Playhouse show.I'd discovered the blues rock of the album of the tour earlier in the year and the show backed up the music with a solid performance.
RUNRIG  <6> Inverness Ice Rink
