They were definitely on at The Bay, I know because my parents wouldn't let me go. (must have been about 14). I'd just bought Unicorn which was one of the first LPs I purchased.
Just googled and came up with this - see the list of gigs down the article, reckon I went to quite a few
Geoff Docherty - Ready Steady Gone!
Geoff Docherty's ambition, vision and love of rock music made him one of the most celebrated promoters to come out of the north.eastwww.readysteadygone.co.uk
I quite like Blodwyn Pig, were they good?I too was at most of those gigs.
Ginger Baker's Airforce were booed off but I never saw a bad Family gig.
Some lesser known bands who also played in the north east were Blossom Toes, Blodwyn Pig, Spooky Tooth and the inimitable Edgar Broughton Band.
Just remembered Three Dog Night and Country Joe and the Fish at the Bay.
Not me, but my dad saw the Beatles at the empire in 63
Was it not Tad they supported at The Riverside ?Nirvana played here in 1991, supporting Sonic Youth in a venue that holds about 800 people.
New Order and The Smiths together, Festival of the 10th Summer, GMex

Must have missed it.I thought the Argus got a mention earlier in the thread.
I had the hangover from hell all day, couldn't shift it, The Fall didn't help that. Came round a bit while The Smiths were on and was pissed again by the time New Order surfaced. Felt a bit robbed by Ian McCulloch doing Ceremonylegendary by all accounts. Jealous of that one mate.
Was it "The" Four Tops, or "A" Four Tops?I saw the Four Tops at Croydon Fairfield Halls, we had the seats behind the stage, so although we were looking at the backs of them for a fair bit, when they turned round it felt like they were singing to us especially.
Not jealous.Queen at Knebworth 1986
Freddies last gig.
