Description:

Cranes has to be my all-time favorite band (please don't call them "The" Cranes). They Hail from Portsmouth, England and take their name from the huge dock cranes which dominate the horizon. Although originally formed in the 80's they met with their greatest successes in the 90's. The band did have a reputation for tech/equipment problems at their shows, and I've witnessed it as well, but they never failed to hold the crowd in awe. A GREAT band to see live! The best show for me was their performance at the 9:30 club in Washington D.C. (what a great venue!) during their tour in 1993 to promote the "Forever" CD, Jim, Alison and the boys were at their peak (no equipment failures either!). Hope you enjoy these posts (re-posts), and keep buying their CD's (residuals are a wonderful thing!) They gave their best, I'd love to see them get a little back for their efforts!

Oh boy, tell me about it! I'm old enough to have seen the opening volley of MTV. With their sputter and starts over the year, it was always worth SOMETHING, but now!? Pimps and whores about says it all, I couldn't define it better! I love it all too, your more than welcome! Enjoy the Shadows! ∞

Yeah, what a hole in the wall, I LOVED it!! A small space so it was always "up close and personal" with the bands that played there! Still have my "a taste of Forever" tape giveway from the show, apparently a rare item now. While I'm not an obsessive kinda guy, you'd need to pry that one from my cold dead hands!
