Used to go to a good few gigs - a few of the highlights are ;

AC/DC, U2, the smiths, Nirvarna, Pixies, the Pouges (with and without Kirsty Mc Coll), Pulp, Blur and a few Glastonbury’s 20 or so years ago. I got to see the most awesome Johnny Cash there amongst others.

 

 

Bingo! Was waiting for someone to say Nirvana. I remember hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit played on Steve Wright's Non-Stop Oldies on Radio 2 and thinking then, "The job's fuxked if that's an oldie."

Only ‘real’ concert I’ve ever been to was Kylie Minogue at the O2 circa 2003

 

 

We could start a new thread but probably be less popular. I saw Cliff Richard at Wembley in about 1990, church group outing which I went on as fancied my mates older sister. Nothing happened, Cliff was Cliff.

Seen OCS a few times, good live band.

Still rockin’ as well!

I last saw them when Simon was about 10 stone lighter!

They are playing an acoustic gig in my little local town (Nantwich) in October - really looking forward to it!

I have seen Squeeze on two occasions,once at Crystal Palace and then at The Stables at Wavendon. They were fantastic and great entertainers, even leading the audience to the bar during the break still playing.

The sensational Alex Harvey band at Chichester collage back in the 70s . 

[Anno]

Where do i start, missd Zeppelin as my first gig was 1980 but seen every solo gig by Plant and Jimmy Page, saw the Who 3 times and Stones Bowie Springsteen Prince etc

Lots of Hard Rock/Metal acts including Judas Priest when they were supported by a new band called Iron Maiden, and lots of gigs like Lizzy, UFO, Kiss, Ozzy with Randy RIP and Sabbath and Purple too.

One of the best ones was Floyd doing the Wall at Earls Court (first time in that London too!)

Unfortunately prices are now ridiculous, for me and the missus to get a gig in with travel and food its around the £200 mark!

Lots of happy memories, still got 90% of my tickets too.
