What is your Favourite Cable Gig???

<< < (2/3) > >>

Corporate_Automaton:
Ahoy!

I guess it's time for me to confess: I never actually saw Cable live!  :'( Tragic, I know!

I had tickets for an 'A' gig at the Varsity in October (I think) 1998, where the supports were Carrie and Cable (it must have been the same tour that Damon saw them at the Wedgewood rooms on), but for one reason or another I didn't go.  O.K. I'll be honest - they wouldn't let us in being as you had to be 16 and I was a fresh faced 15 year old with no fake ID!

I didn't really get into Cable until after they split so I never made the effort to catch them while they were still together.  I hope you can all forgive me!  Maybe (fingers crossed) Cable will do one last tour and I'll be able to right this grievous wrong!  If they were to tour again I'd be sure to go to every single gig to try and make up for not seeing them first time round.

Thanks,

favourite gig? so many....i was lucky enough to be a young teenager living in derby whilst cable were around meaning i got to see them live many times including the last gig at the garrick....i think i saw them about 10 times in the end but favourites were:

last gig at the vic
a gig at the loft (warehouse it used to be called) which was an xmas gig
and the big city bash in 95 in derby where they headlined
actually come to think of it every gig was amazing....

i dont know if it was just youthful excitement but i swear ive never been to gigs as good as those since. When was the last time you went to a local gig and crowdsurfed?!?!?

Greg:
Easy Nav,
                I was at every gig you mentioned you went to in Derby too. They were all amamzing. The Big City Bash was ace, I remember Darius Pulling down Mark shelldon's trouers on the middle of the stage. That was funny.

They were days. That Garrick Gig is still the best gig I ever been to, and I've seen some bands. The second best one was The Loft xmas do. Twinkie were great that night too. Elvis was on fire. I think I might have the set list from that gig some where. I remember Freeze The Atlantic being really good that night. I think Cable put a new inro on it that song and was amamzing.

I think I might know you, You didn't by any chance go to Littleover communtiy school at all did you? ::)

All the best

Greg.

Nice to hear from you...i had a feeling you were the lad from Littleover School. I didnt formally know you but knew OF you if you knew what i mean...how ace were those cable gigs back in the day....ahhh the memories. Are you still in Derby. Im in a band called YouNoGoDie at the moment who just did a last minute cover of vertigo which you can check out on

www.myspace.com/younogodie

you still drumming away?

Greg:
Alright Nav,
                 I'm good thanks, I live round Leeds now. I am still playing drums, Except I do it for a living now. Yeah I've checked your band out, Martin is a friend of mine. I'm suprised he's not been on the forum yet. I think I might have had somthing to do with introducing him to Cable in the first place (I think). I rememeber taking him to See Cable for the first time at Union 1. (Which is now another car park in Derby). It was a good gig too.

I do go back to Derby form time to time and i've been meaning to get to one of your gigs. I will make it at some point, I keep checking your myspace. will see.

One thing that keeps becoming more clear is that, how lucky I (we all were) was growing up in Derby. At that time the Local scene was ace. No one who I have met since leaving Derby has been lucky enough to come from a city that has a good scene but a really defined sound as well. We're so lucky and that is one of the things I miss about Derby. I proud of my musical roots.

All the best

Greg.
