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.

Kiss last year at the SSE hydro.

It was such an amazing experience

5 Star, Sheffield, September 1986. It was the day my youngest brother was born and my sister and I sat on the stairs waiting for him to be born (home birth) before we went.

David Essex was first concert, Gary Glitter and the Glitter Band first band.

I saw Britney in Manchester in August of this year. My 1st concert at the age of 33!

My best mate and I went to see Thin Lizzy in 1980,at the Rainbow Theatre in Finsbury Park. We were 16. We were absolutely mad about them,so the following year,we went to see them 3 times in one week,at the Hammersmith Odeon.

Thin Lizzy
Imperial College - Feb 1975 (aged 16)

Snap (to poster above)

The Police at The Milton Keynes Bowl July 1980.

I was there, too. Great gig.

Hue and Cry. I was 10 and my friend’s dad was security. 🤣

The Beatles at the BBC (I went to see Lenny the Lion). God, that makes me old, doesn't it.

Whitney Houston, I was about 15 I think, she played Glasgow.

Eurhythmics at Hatfield Poly in 1983. Sweet Dreams was in the charts at the time.

Rod Stewart at Blackpool Winter Gardens in 1975/6?
He was AMAZING!

UN40

Was that with Boutros Boutros Ghali ?

The Searchers, mid 60s, they were groups then not bands!

STEPS! Loved it!

First ever (with my DM & best friend) was Bros in Düsseldorf @ 88 I think. I screamed and cried my way through

First gig on my own was Ugly Kid Joe at the UEA in Norwich

ABC at the Cornwall Colisuem. Martin Fry and co in dark blue satin suits with. full orchestra playing clear plastic instruments lit with neon tube lights so you just see their outlines playing in the dark.

Just fab.

Assuming I try to forget the time I saw wheetus in a grimy club in Peterborough, I’d say The Spice Girls at their first reunion thing in the 02 back in 07/08 ish

Mud Glasgow Apollo long time ago but I was only 13.

Wolfsbane

Half Man Half Biscuit at Kentish Town Forum October 2015 at the ripe old age of 25.

Oh I love halfman halfbiscuit!

Beatles

The Levellers, Leeds Town & Country Club. I was 15.
