Take That with D:Team as the support act.

Joop (perfume) was being pumped in the foyer, people were hysterical and were fainting. They were lifted over the crowd to ambulances. I think my religious parents thought I was going to a orchestral concert or something, and I didn't know much better!! I was 12!!

@brizzledrizzle Sorry but you're the 3rd actually Grin
So jealous of early 80s Depeche Mode gig goers.
Mine was Ride in 91, was so happy as I loved them and had been desperate to attend my 1st gig but had to wait until I was 16 due to living in sticks/over protective parents.

Michael Jackson at Wembley. Probably 97/98 time.
He was fantastic and the best bit was that I was paid to be there
