KYUSS - Stoke Wheatsheaf - 2nd February 1995

We went to see Kyuss without ever hearing a song but just based on the reputation of their live shows from the reviews we saw in Kerrang.  Not sure who came with me to this one but I remember that we got drinks in a pub over the road before the show before heading into the Wheatsheaf and headbanging for 90 minutes of pure noise.  The tiny Wheatsheaf venue was packed and we were stood right by the stage (no security here!).  What an awesome show and I was a Kyuss fan for life.  I was blown away.  My aftershow memory is that we got some stuff flyers signed by the drummer and we all vowed to be back at the Wheatsheaf a few days later for the Headswim show.



The Wheatsheaf closed as a music venue and was turned into a Wetherspoons pub.
When it was a venue,you would enter through those doors on the right of the photo...
