Slipknot. Glasgow Barrowlands, 28th February 2000. They were supported by One Minute Silence and Kittie.
Very fond memories.

The Pogues in Nottingham in the mid 80s. They were pissed, shambolic and absolutely outstanding.

I've only been to two concerts! Not counting The Wiggles before they took off!

The KISS Reunion tour when i was 15/16 in 97 i think.

A few months ago i saw The Killers.

Both great shows, considerably less strippers at the killers gig though lol

The Tourists (Annie Lennox pre Eurythmics as mentioned by PP TooManyPaws)

Next was The Thompson Twins, supported by Tears for Fears

Thankfully a few years later I seen RHCP, Motörhead, Anthrax, Metallica and slayer so I pretend the first didn't really happen.

First concert was Pete Townshend solo at Shepherd’s Bush, first band was Bon Jovi at the last ever (old) Wembley gig.
I don’t get to see enough live music these days...
