    Great Rock and Roll Moments

    The Beatles playing Get Back on the top of a building, Jagger reading poetry in Hyde Park after Brian Jones' death, Jim Morrison exposing himself live on stage, Bowie's speech at the end of the Hammersmith Odeon concert in 72, the Pistols swearing at Bill Grundy, Jagger and Tina Turner at Live Aid.

    These are moments that have gone down in rock and roll immortality. What moments, though, have there been since 1985? Is rock and roll dead? Or is it a generation thing?
    No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones
    In 1977

    Ian Brown calling the BBC "amateurs" and telling them they were "wasting me time" live on The Late Show, after a power failure...

    The L7 chick who tossed her bloody rag into the audience at Glastonbury...

    And to be fair Gustavo, Dave and Kirst pulled the proverbial on TOTP as well!

    Ian Brown (again) not even bothering to mime on TOTP...
    Noel and Liam swapping roles...
    Liam deliberately fooking up the line "so you think my singings out of time" during Cum on feel the Noize....

    TOTP

    Good while back now but Iron Maiden were on TOTP,
    and were told they couldn't play live on account of the
    noise. They reluctently agreed to "mime" and during the
    song they intermittently swapped instruments and
    acted the b*llix on stage.

    It was hilarious

    The original and the best,

    Jerry Lee Lewis pouring petrol into and setting fire to his piano onstage while Chuck Berry watched on from the wings. They'd previously argued over who should headline the show so Lewis decided to put on a show that Berry couldn't possibly follow.

    thrashing guitars is kids stuff

    When was that? The first gig I was ever at was a Feelgoods gig, circa 75, just before Malpractice was released. Totally blew my mind.
    When was the reunion gig?

    The Feelgoods are still playing now, with the likes of Eddie and the Hot Rods and John Otway. Obviously Lee is no more, but do any of the original line-up remain?

    How about Radiohead being special guests on stage during Smash Hits (or some teenybop yoke like that) concerts mid 90's along with the likes of Boyzone and that cr@p.... they played My Iron Lung, and the looks on the kids faces were priceless!!!! I also remember Pop Will Eat Itself on the Late Late Show way back and wrecking the drumkits live on stage with Gaybo looking shocked and nobody giving a round of applause!

    Rory Gallagher Lark by the Lee one of his last gigs

    The Stunning Ruby horse and the rest were all standing at the side of the stage in awe of the man, that was a rock and roll moment.
    It's only just begun...............
