Sunday June 3rd 1990, European City Of Culture, 4 open air stages around Glasgow, 50 artists, 11 hours of music including Nanci Griffith, Goodbye Mr Mckenzie, Big Country and of course the highlight of a very special day - Natalie Merchant, Michael Stipe and Billy Bragg on the Riverside stage. Beautiful song, exquisite vocal from the 10,000 Maniacs vocalist. This was a very special day for Glasgow attracting by some estimates almost half a million people to the city. It is a day I will never forgot. How often in a lifetime would you get the chance to see Merchant, Stipe and Bragg perform together on the banks of The Clyde. I have a feeling that all those at Customhouse Quay that day will remember it for a very long time yet....

I was at Custom House Quay on my beautiful Vespa GS and with my girlfriend. Bragg et al were brilliant, I wasn't that impressed with Aly Bain tho'.
ReplyDeleteI believe he's an acquired taste. Great day all round though for everyone, excepting of course Sheena Easton...
