No 34 - See more live music and shows - Ugly Kid Joe & Duff McKagan's Loaded

Easily my favourite gig of all time!!

I was a big Ugly Kid Joe fan years ago - I must admit largely initially inspired by their inclusion in Wayne's World.  But I then got into a load more of their music and have always had a smidgen of a crush on Whitfield Crane since my teens.  They were amazing live and totally rocked the whole club - and YES I bought the T-Shirt!

The club incidentally was C103 - previously JFKS at which I spent most of my Friday nights while at University because it was the best Rock Night in Plymouth and totally defined my Uni years.  It is now closed down but not forgotten and I'm so glad that this gig was one of my final moments in there as it was such a fitting goodbye.

The warm up act were ok but to be honest they kind of blurred into oblivion once UKJ and Duff McKagan got into it.  I had never heard any of Loaded's stuff but was aware of the historical nature of seeing one of GNR members doing their stuff and they were so incredibly polished and cool I just couldn't take my eyes off them.

The only thought left in my head at the end of a great night was - I'm not worthy!!!
