I remember Mel C and James Brown, but noone who was any good.
Did not pay to get in, I think I was back working with NME again. Maybe the time we slept in the portacabin thing backstage.
I attended this one, more from this year in my gigography for 1999. I have seen Suede probably 14 times; Phoenix 1995 @ Avon Park Raceway ('95), Shepherds Bush Empire (1999), Sound Republic ('99), V99 @ Hylands Park ('99), David Bowie @ Old Trafford Cricket Ground (2002), Electric Ballroom (2002), The Scala (2002), Glastonbury ('03), London Astoria ('03), Royal Albert Hall (2010), Suede "Suede" @ Brixton Academy ('11), Suede "Dog Man Star" @ Brixton Academy (2011), Southampton Guildhall (2019), + Suede and Manics @ Dreamland (2024). Part of a list of all the gigs I remember going to from 1987 to 2024. It's a natural step from my Best gigs of all time blog post. Yeah I know very geeky, let's let that go though, I'm enjoying remembering these things.
Sat Aug 21 1999
Other gigs at Hylands Park include Paul Weller ('96).
