In other news, I've found a Remastered version of And Justice for all on Spotify which is somewhat better than the original. I might need to adjust my Metallica album rankings.
Massive fan of Eye Of The Beholder.
So you're saying you can actually hear the bass on it ?

With Che Fu? That would have been awesome. Last saw them live at whatever the Waikato Uni pub was called back in the day.
Gurus? I saw plenty of O-week concerts there.
For Led Zep, side 1 of Physical Graffiti is were it's at. The Rover, Houses of the Holy, Kashmir.

Weirdly, your mention of Gurus pushed the actual name into my head - The Wailing Bongo.

They were in the same building weren't they? Gurus might have been upstairs.
No idea. Gurus rings no bells with me. I can't even picture what that area of the campus looked like.

@MN5 Exactly how I feel about Oasis ... but look at their success!
Oh I fucken despise Oasis and the two fuckwits who front them........
Consensus at last!
I don't like Brit pop at all, and my musical tastes were already set before the 1990s.
I do give the Beatles their due and their deep cuts are often better than the hits. I have seen the 2 living Beatles live and both were bloody good concerts.

You're welcome!

@pakman Sorry.. What I meant to say was "deep sigh"
Seems to be quite a lot of that going around!

In from the Cowshed side, Gurus was the building straight ahead of you. Used to have Student Job Search on the ground floor, a tuck shop / cafe to the right (back in my day everybody called it Jackie’s after the lovely lady who used to run it), “Upstairs Gurus” was upstairs. Inside if you went to the right past the tuck shop there were doors on your right ( so doubling back on yourself) that opened into the Wailing Bongo. Inside Bongo’s, late 80s, probably O Week 1988:

@JC I used to do a show on the student radio out of the Cowshed in '83. It was still Radio Contact back then with a very weak AM transmitter and aerial on the roof. Would have been Contact FM by the days of your picture.
Saw (and drank with) various bands in that 'hall' as we used to organise gigs.
-
@Crucial That would be right. The FM change came in ‘85. Was it based in Oranga when you were involved or had it moved to the Cowshed?
Edit. Doh. Just saw you even said it was in the Cowshed. Were you still around when Max came on board? Selwyn Collier? John Pattenden? Glen Cooper?

Wow, had a bit of reading in this thread to catch up with and can't understand some of what has been posted.
The Beatles - I have never been a fan as far as listening to their albums etc but to deny their influence, or ability, as musicians is plain weird. Along with George Martin they revolutionised the recording of popular music through experimentation, multi-tracking and layering. As songwriters Lennon and McCartney are in the books as hitting the sweetspot often. Their melodies were so good that you often hear another artist and go 'oh, that's just a Beatles rip off).
Oasis (or rather Noel of the twatty-two) was a master at using Beatle-esque melodies in composing songs. Some of his tracks sound like lost Beatles B-sides and are bloody excellent (eg Half a World Away).
They were so far from 'just some poppy catchy tunes' as you can imagine. I may not listen to them directly but I sure thank them for their influence of so much other stuff and artists that I do like listening to. -

In my day we were tucked right in the corner of the Cowshed.
I was only there in '83 (before I became a dropout and ran away with a band)
