I haven’t seen my favorite band live for ages (missed my one chance on this tour), so I’m just reading setlists and reports. And then, out of the blue, I just remembered a funny detail from my first MP gig that I don’t think I even mentioned back in the early days of g35.
That was Felix, Lillehammer back in 1996 and the thing that just popped into my mind was the sight of Geb’s grandma(!) sitting on a chair at the side of the stage. Apparently she was living in Gjøvik at the time and had come over to see the boys. And there sat this lovely old lady, smiling throughout the main set. (They were LOUD back then, too, so I suspect she was half deaf, but still!).
Yes, lovely indeed! Reminds me of the story of Eric Burdon’s mother visiting the Grateful Dead gig in Newcastle in 1972 asking if anyone of the band & entourage knew her son…
And of course Motorhead’s “Birthday Party” gig in 1985 with “three generations of Lemmy” involved (as Mr. Kilmister announced on stage).
