  • Vietnamerica has always been a firm favourite of mine and is in my Stranglers top 20. Hughs vocals are superb and a bit haunting on it.

  • Re: Review - 10th August 1991 - Maine Road Stadium
  • [quote="STEVEh":18uuepop]Was at the Maine Road gig myself and like stated elsewhere it was a bit of a comedown having seen the band at the Boardwalk on the small clubs tour. The band did ok I thought but I got the impression that there were many people there who were still expecting Hugh. I listened to the Milton Keynes gig on the radio(may still have a tape of it somewhere) and seem to remember the setlist was re-jigged with a few more hits thrown in than at Maine Road and the band sounded more dynamic for it. My memory of the weather differs from yours Jim. I seem to recall it rained all day but amazingly it did stop briefly during Always The Sun.[/quote:18uuepop] The rain stopped for Always the Sun at the Gatehead gig.. The Leeds trades and labour club warm up the night before Maine road was the highlight of the 3 weeks - The Stranglers of the 90s struggled in large/open air venues
