My first (and only) gig was 6/23/90 at the Bizarre Festival on the Lorely.
I actually went for Boa, but was blown away by the Nephs...
I moved back to the States shortly thereafter, and haven't had another chance.

Re: Your 1st FOTN gig
'allo everyone.
After lurking around here for the best part of forever I thought I should finally join up and say 'allo. Which I have, so I should probably get on topic.
The first time I saw the boys was in Cheltenham Town Hall, around the time For Her Light came out. I think it was the second gig I'd ever been to and spent most of my time a bit stunned. Loud were supporting and the fact that the gentlemen in the people pyramid would count in during the dead space of tracks massively impressed me. I didn't realise then that they'd probably been to every gig of the tour.
I managed to get to the front for a bit, marvel at Carl's feather and soak through with sweat. My ears rang for the whole of the next day.
There we go, nice to meet you.

Re: Your 1st FOTN gig
First saw the lads at the then called Reading Rock Festival in 1987. Got very drunk on a few bottles of merrydown on british rail getting there but what a line up ! All About Eve first on, Nephilim later in day light and The Mission Headling and that sowed the seed for many a sweaty gig over the country at places they should never have played, anyone remember Burberries in brum ??

Re: Your 1st FOTN gig
27. November 1992 at the Capitol in Hannover. Carl must've been sick or something and they've played a whole different set of songs. I remember a violin bow being used on one of the guitars during a song. And if Nod would've been paid a dollar per hit, he'd been a billionaire for long. The support act was Love Like Blood and the whole tour went under the moniker Magical Mystery Tour.
Saw them last year again at the Amphi. Only it wasn't Carl who was sick now.

Re: Your 1st FOTN gig
Amphi last year. the only gig I have been to. I feel like a virgin. I'll be missing out on the German gigs as well over Xmas..will be visiting my parents in Hungary. not a good timing
Re: Your 1st FOTN gig
The Marquee, Wardour Street in 1987. Back in the days when Wardour Street was cool rather than a place for gormless media types to hang out and call each other 'fella' on their iphones.
Top gig - tiny venue - fcuking loud.

Re: Your 1st FOTN gig
Cheltenham Town Hall, 1990 for me as well.
They opened with [what seemed like] a 10 minute intro tape of a thunderstorm.
I bumped into Jocasta, with whom I'd studied [hah!] at College in Burnley outside after the gig. I'd have offered her somewhere to crash if I'd had it.
However, I'd have loved to see them in Manchester on the Mark of The Watchman tour in 87/88, but couldn't arrange a lift to it!

Re: Your 1st FOTN gig
Oops ! I notice I didn't do my homework on this one ! Shame on me !
First time was 1989*, after I discovered "Moonchild" through one of the best radio station there was (it's still alive but not kicking much nowadays ). Support acts : Norma Loy and Red Lorry Yellow Lorry. I was quite taken aback, because due to lack of visual, I did not expect such presentation — nor something that static. Admittedly it is considered a crap tour, for unfathomable reasons.
I went to see them nonetheless for the Live Inferno tour (support band the lmuch underrated Mary My Hope and maybe another). One of the best concert I've been to EVER.
Had a ticket for the Parisian leg of the Nefilim's tour… which as we all know, ended up cancelled.
Much later on, I was bound to discover some bunch of smelly bastards (copyright Wild Bill Buttocks) at some remote pub before *some* London concert…
And the rest, as they say, is history.
*Yes, it goes to show what an old kunt I am…

Fundraiser. You know, it's like Hellraiser, but without the Cenobites, the blood and all that.

Thomas, if it's funny ONCE…
P.S. Actually I remember discussing it with an old mate, when we railed on how, on "Moonchild", the bass sound was in distance with the same sound on guitar. His roomate from then wondered how we could go to such lenghth. But then, we were both fans of cult Belgian band La Muerte, Ye Masters of Raw Rock, which had some remote kinship with the Neffs (they would have made a pretty good support act), but which was unsufferable for him !
