Yeah, I'll confirm that too. It was Smells Like Teen Spirit.
Anyway, just to keep y'all informed on what's happening with the documentary - today we shot Cecil's first visit back to St. Paul's College since that last night of the Grove in 1997. It was a magical experience. Emotional! He was stunned that the gym and stage had pretty much remained untouched. The cables and shelves that he'd put in for his speakers were still there! All the memories came flooding back. He also brought his two boxes of 7" vinyl with him and I had the rare privilege of going through the collection... and let me tell you I haven't touched on half the songs at the Reunions and tributes! So expect a wider range of music at the future Grove related events. He even played Roxette and Paul Young! Roll on the tribute December 3rd...

| Fantastic and all as I'm sure it was Crusty,don't dare play Paul Young or Roxette on 27th or you might experience a near riot of Forty Something Rockers, not a pretty sight I may add. |

xgrovehead, I'd even consider one in Paul's ( and I don't say this lightly ) without beer. Wouldn't that be something. |

If anyone really feels the need to see the inside of St Pauls, they are holding an ARts and Crafts Fair next weekend and who knows it might be in the hallowed hall. And if not at least you can get a start on your Christmas shopping. ------------- We have not inherited the earth from our ancestors, we have only borrowed it from our children. -Ancient Proverb. |

Yeah, Picture the scene, hundreds of aging rockers, still in their leather jackets with the denim on the back ,covered in Sabbath,Purple and AC/DC logos,wandering around the hall,mouths open,hands shaking from withdrawl symptoms,clutching the watercolour of the Wooden Bridge they've just bought for their Mammies. What time will I see y'all there so ? Rolo.

Yeah defo, I used bring a Magazine LP " The Correct Use of Soap " every week for about seven months before Cecil finally relented and played it. Talk about a damp squib. Nearly lynched by the AC/DC , Motorhead fraternity. Rolo. |

Question for everyone. Was it only boys who brought LPs down for Cecil to play? I don't think I ever saw a female of the species doing this in my day anyway? I wonder why this is........................................it isn't that we didn't like our music. Is it just that teenage girls are harder to distract from the real point of teenage discos ?!! ------------- We have not inherited the earth from our ancestors, we have only borrowed it from our children. -Ancient Proverb. |

No, I reckon it's because your brothers wouldn't lend you any of their LPs. Sorry,couldn't resist. Rolo. |

Different era of course,but tried to bring down stuff that wouldn't get played too often during the main part of the evening. Magazine, Talking Heads, brought UFO Live Album once,can't think of the name of it now, bit of Rory Gallagher,especially Live in Europe. Varied really. Rolo. |

yeah - different era. Still the same principal tho, bring down music that wouldnt normally get played.

Probably right, They were and still are a rock band,they've got John Bonham's son ,Jason as drummer. I'll think of the name of the album later,there was one famous track which I can't remember either. Rolo. |

On a dark winter's Sunday evening I brought Pendulum by Creedence Clearwater Revival and the Man, Cecil, played it. I didn't have a record player at the time and it was pure nirvana hearing that album being played throught the speakers in the old Grove.

Howya Pat, Meant to talk to you about " Helpless ", ( must have been weeks ago ), but I love the Last Waltz, some great songs by great artists on it. Did you know that Robbie Robertson asked Rory Gallagher to appear but allegedly Rory turned him down. Think Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters is a classic. Oh yeah,jumping topics as a Man.U. man,where are you on the Keano situation.? Rolo. |

IMHO keano is a traitor who should never have been let pull on an irish shirt again after his disgraceful walk out in sepang.
As for the utd thing, what did he expect, going public with views on individuals like that. ------------- work. the curse of the drinking classes!

Oh yeah,jumping topics as a Man.U. man,where are you on the Keano situation.? Rolo. Hi Rolo, Didn't know that about Rory. He would have been great and certainly as good, if not better than Clapton. Re Keano. He can walk away from Old Trafford with his head held high. He'll be a legend there just like Cantona etc I think it was time for him to go but his influence will be sorely missed. I think thigs are not right at OT and its going to take some time to build a team as great as we had in the 90's. Whether Fergie can do this or not I don't know. I'm also not sure that Keane and Fergie fell out. Re Saipan. I think Keane should have stayed but I also could understand how he walked away. He set such high standards and obviously McCarthy didn't match those standards. Also it's not easy when your manager is belittling you in front of your team mates. That would get under my skin as well. So back to music. The Last Waltz. A Classic. ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride. Biker Pat Grove 1972-1975 |

i personally think fergie should have gone a couple of years ago when he planned to. i think hes past it now and doesnt have the influence on players or other managers he used to have. ------------- work. the curse of the drinking classes!

Sort of guessed you'd have the same opinion of Keano as I have. Mine is more from an Ireland perspective as I'd be a big fan and get to all home games and travel to most of the away games. For me,he was absolutely immense,particularly in the 2002 Qual. campaign and I firmly believe that McCarthy being the manager should have been able to manage the Saipan situation better. Fully agree with you on the Man.Utd.departure,apparently the fans were still singing his name on Tuesday night. Rolo.( Funny how the Last Waltz appeared in two different threads.)

Rock on Rolo. And now George Best is gone. The BEST footballer ever. When we were kids and playing football on the road, we all wanted to be George Best. He's a legend and he made Man U what it is today. The original master of the Theatre of Dreams. May he rest in peace. ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride. Biker Pat Grove 1972-1975 |

A Reunion in St Pauls with Bouncers and without now that would be a proper Grove Reunion You have to go knacker drinking before hand and/or try and sneak your drink in to the Grove. I think that would be the best reunion EVER |
