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.

Simple Minds, Croke Park, Dublin

Dodgy, 1997.

Ronnie James Dio in Birmingham NEC c. 1984? With huge fire breathing dragon.

Genesis at Earls Court in 1992, with my parents and sister. I was 12. I loved it.

Black Sabbath when I was 14, remember it like it was yesterday

Killswitch Engage @ Brighton Concorde 2.

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark at Leeds University, 1982.

Steps!

Bowie. His last tour as Ziggy Stardust, I was 10.

Radiohead 1997

Come to think of it, it might not have been The Bay City Rollers but Showaddywaddy - thanks for reminding me Ragwort - and it still wasn't my choice

1977 Yes

The Beatles. Cheltenham. 1963

Aerosmith at Birmingham Nec in 1989..absolutely amazing show from start to finish. Still in my all time top 3 gigs.

The Nolan Sisters in Craigavon Civic Centre when I was about 12

If we're not counting that sorta thing (let's not), Guns n Roses in Slane Castle when I was 16.

I'm so old, the first ever band i saw was the Beatles. And they were third
on the bill. (Chris Montez and someone I dont recall was second and third).

The second was the stones, followed by the who.

DD followed in my footsteps. Her first band was the clash, followed by the pogues.

We both have t shirts saying "I may be old, but I got to see.all the cool bands"

@SLL mine was Wet Wet Wet too, at Wembley Arena, late teens I think

Pink Floyd, B’ham Town Hall, prob 1970.

Aha at the Hammersmith Apollo

Not even sure if they bothered singing we were all screaming so much they could have been reciting Japanese poetry and we wouldn’t have known

And when Magane skated on stage on his skate board we went beyond hysterical 😁

Jason Donovan

Wet wet wet too 😍 marti pellow

Blur @ the SECC in 1993 when I was 11

Queen. St James Park, Newcastle. A kind of magic tour. Still the best for I have been to. And my mum let me and my friends skive french the next morning

Bros.

INXS, NEC, summer of 1986, the night before my last GCSE exam. At the time I couldn't work out where Michael Hutchence found the energy for his performance
