Where's the gig ?

^^Great stories and places Garrett and JG, it's a crying shame they brought The Capitol down, sad to see.

The Winding Wheel in my hometown Chesterfield UK. I've seen some great bands here Focus and Wishbone Ash spring to mind. Tidy little venue this.

Coolest thread I have seen a in a while..very nice pics everyone!


Well, we don't have anything as nice as most venues that have been posted, but our TCU Place (will always be Centennial Auditorium to me..) is pretty decent and has great sound!

Saw Heart there last Feb..finally checked one off the bucket list!

^^ Looks like a great venue TW, we are getting one or two really good modern looking places over here now with a good sound.

This one's a bit older though. The Flowerpot in Derby UK. They put on some great bands I've seen Walter Trout and Blackfoot here and there's always good gigs going on.

Here is the legendary Hummingbird in Birmingham, I saw The Ramones here, it has been closed as the Hummingbird for years this is what it is now as it has been renamed

As a matter of interest Sweaty here's The Hummingbird as we remeber it, this photo is from '91. I was at the Jimmy Page gig there in '88 so about the same time .. ish.

Manchester Evening News Arena



Fond memories of seeing Muse there. Must be a posh venue as a whole bunch of women had ballroom gowns on I felt like such a scrufter in my t-shirt & jeans

^^ That's a hell of a big place Tray if memory serves. Here's another biggy Sheffield Motorpoint Arena.

Seen afew there Sox, not a massive fan as the sound is usually bad for the support bands, good venue if they only use half of it

It was a fantastic place Sweat.

The Arena, I had to mention it as we've seen so many bands there but yeah we loose out on sound quality I think.

I agree just had that atmosphere
