My Life In The Mosh Of Ghosts
Every gig I have ever seen. Forty-odd years of thud, sweat and beers.
Starting in 1977 and currently covering 1984, if you are a fan of Sheffield music from bands like Cabaret Voltaire and The Human League. Or you like Industrial and Post-Punk music in general, there will be something here for you to check out.
I'm Roger Quail, I grew up in Sheffield and played drums with Clock DVA and The Box in this era.
My Life In The Mosh Of Ghosts
My Life In The Mosh Of Ghosts - Gig 58. Iron Maiden, The Apollo Theatre, Glasgow, 12th May 1983.
In which Roger and his bandmates in The Box find themselves in a heavy metal maelstrom on a Thursday night in Glasgow. Iron Maiden take no prisoners at the legendary Apollo Theatre en route to world domination. It's very loud, very sweaty and a just little bit silly, but as a baptism of fire into the world of heavy metal and the legion of devoted young fans, it's one not to be forgotten.
