St David's Hall, Cardiff - Vegetarians of Love tour date?
Permalink  
 


I saw Bob's Vegetarians of Love tour at St David's Hall, Cardiff -  91/92? I can't find a record of the date anywhere. Can someone please confirm the date?!

For the record, it was a great show. I actually bought my ticket on a whim, having walked past the venue and saw that Bob was playing. One of the best gig decisions I've made and that album is still a firm favourite.

Thanks

Can't find an exact date either but Geldof was playing Wolverhampton Civic Hall on 18 Nov 1990 and Cologne (koln) on 15 Oct 1990 as part of the VOL tour so it may have been sometime around the winter of 1990.

The above dates are linked to bootleg recordings from the VOL tour and I'm presuming that Cardiff was one of the British dates which would have included Wolverhampton.

I say him in both London and Croydon on that tour but cannot remember exactly when so will take it that it must have been the winter of 1990.

I agree with Noel, Bob and the Vegetarians of Love tour would have been around the autumn of 1990.

1992 would be Happy Club era and let's face it if you managed to see him tour this cd you'd be in a minority as most of the dates bit the dust due to lack of interest!

I was at the Wolves civic hall gig[believe it or not---lol]--Remember taking a cucumber after reading newspaper reports that they were gratefully accepted.I handed it to bob after the gig who's response was "what the **** am i supposed to do with this"lol.
I then took it home and put it to good use.On a salad of course.

 Ah, but did you buy the t-shirt with the cucumber on it!

 I saw him at the Olympia Theatre, Dublin in Autumn, 1993 and remember there being plenty of empty seats, but still enough people there for the gig to go  ahead.

Not sure were the low attendances due to bad reviews for The Happy Club album. It was only a few years after the critical acclaim of VOL so it's a bit baffling why the audience figures were so low. It seems to me Bob never has a consistent following, except for possibly a very hardcore minority. Still his current European tour seems to be going well and his recent and fortcoming UK dates sees his fortunes on the rise again.

Yes,i did buy the t shirt with the cucumber on it and still have it.Seem to remember Wolves being about 2 thirds full with a few on the balcony.The tour after this was cancelled though due to poor ticket sales.

Thanks for the replies. I remember it being a Friday or Saturday (most likely a Saturday), so 17 Nov 1990 seems a reasonable date for my records. Cheers.
