The best Suede gig I’ve ever been to. An exhaustingly uplifting, rioutously emotional triumph.
All the gigs of my life: Gig 27 – Super Furry Animals, Thursday, October 30, 1997, Kentish Town Forum
I’d seen them supporting the Manics, and as part of the Reading Festival line-up, but this gently magical night was, finally, my first chance to see the magnificent Super Furry Animals headlining their own show.
Paul Draper at Union Chapel, Tuesday, 2nd of October, 2018

All the gigs of my life: Gig 26 – Robbie Williams, Friday, October 17, 1997, Hammersmith Palais
A glorious second night from Robbie at the Palais. And my last Robbie Williams gig for 20 years.
All the gigs of my life: Gig 25 – Robbie Williams, Thursday, October 16, 1997, Hammersmith Palais
Robbie Williams live, in a 2500 capacity club, for less than fifteen quid. Truly, 1997 was a different planet.
All the gigs of my life: Gig 24 – Mansun, Tuesday, October 14, 1997, Astoria
“All I can say is just over an hour ago I TOUCHED PAUL DRAPER!!! Whilst being drenched in champagne! He was just a metre away!!! Oh christ indeed.”
Buckle up, kids. It’s going to be THAT sort of a gig.
