To ask you who the first band you saw in concert were?

[DannyOD]

My one can pinpoint my age almost exactly...... it’s A-ha at the Royal Albert Hall.

Lynyrd Skynyrd supported by Deep Purple in 2003.

Gary Numan, Hammersmith Odeon September 1980

Going to see him again next week :)

Runrig in 1987

Take That in the mid 90s. I was in love with every single one of them in a different way.

Duran Duran. Leeds Queens Hall 1982. The start of my teenage John Taylor obsession 😀

Spice Girls 1998

The Rolling Stones at the Gaumont in Hanley in 1964, with my first boyfriend. I think Charles and Inez Fox were the warm up act.

Last concert I went to was to see A-Ha's last farewell performance in Bergen in 2016, and before that, another A-Ha last farewell performance in Oslo, and before that, erm an A-Ha farewell performance in London. Seems like they have said farewell a few times now, but are still good IMO.

U2 touring The Joshua Tree Wembley 1987.

East 17. I remember I wore camouflage army trousers and a men's xl sized Chicago bulls t shirt. I was 11. Fucks sake.

Peter Gabriel, it was probably 83 or 84. It was an outdoor concert in Montreal and was rained out, so he didn't finish the set.

The Pogues when I was 14, so '92 ish

Oasis at Knebworth. Loved every minute.

Bryan Ferry - RDS, Dublin, late 1980s

Supergrass in '94

Siouxie and the Banshee, Brighton Centre 1984. We missed the last train home, and ended up sleeping in a shop doorway overnight. I wore a long raw silk dress that I made and dyed black and purple.
The next one was The Clash at Brixton academy. I wore white flannel trousers, (that I'd made myself and printed blue birds down one leg)and my period started on the train home...
I must have looked a right state when I was a teenager!

@MegBusset I watched that from my window with my friend.

Big Country in Glasgow in the mid-80's.

Def Leppard, The Point Dublin, 1991 I think.
Only 3 weeks until we see them again in the same place!

Shed Seven 1996

Adam and the Ants I was 8 or 9 I think 😀

Simple Minds at Ibrox Stadium Glasgow June 1986

Showaddywaddy for me too. (I'm very pleased to see I'm not the only Goldie Oldie here 😊).

I think it was a band called Kitchens of Distinction, in Camden in 1988 or 89? I was very unpopular with my parents that night because we missed the last train back south of the river and I sneaked back in at about 1.30am on a school night (my parents were pretty strict about curfews compared to some of my friends' parents).

U2 in the local school hall, for 50p

Joe Mc G*e told them they were shite and would never amount to anything.....

In his defence they were utter shite....

They were so local, that Larry Mullen Jr and I used to chat in the local mini mart and his father was my optician.

Chas and Dave
