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.

Supertramp

Paul Young, Liverpool Royal Court

Bros at Wembley Stadium in Aug 1989...I was 14. It should have been Deacon Blue in 1988/89 but my family moved (really far) away before the gig

Thin Lizzy in about 1977, then Tom Robinson Band, both at Malvern Winter Gardens.

Back home in Aberdeen, a boyfriend took me to see Runrig at Aberdeen University Students' Union when it was opposite Marischal College, though they had played Friday nights at Hillhead Halls like other local bands. I later saw them at both Edinburgh and Stirling Castles once I moved south. Still in Aberdeen, I saw Annie Lennox at the Arts Ball when she was still Local Girl Done Good with The Tourists.

Fleetwood Mac at the Locarno Wiltshire...1968....I was 15...we chatted to them backstage and got their autographs. They had just released Albatross.

The Style Council at the Albert Hall with boyfriend 32 years ago - still together but married.

Haircut 100 at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1982

Bon jovi at Wembley probably 1994/5 I think.

Gary Numan at Colston Hall in Bristol, must have been mid 80s.

It was magical. I think it cost about £12 . We went to see Duran Duran in their early years in Birmingham not long after.

Though thinking back I'm slightly shocked my mum never batted an eyelid as I was only 14 and friends all the same age ..................

Guns ‘n’ Roses at Wembley Stadium!

Alice Cooper at the student's union bar Sheffield Poly 1973.

Bros

Officially The Verve (with Robbie Williams and James) at Slane 98 unofficially Backstreet Boys in San Sebastián the summer before and my mum would have killed me. She was only ok with Slane because my best friends parents took us (little did she know what they got up to never mind us ) The Backstreet Boys happened accidentally thanks to same best friends cool Spanish uncle who was a delightfully bad influence.
Mum if you are on MN I really wasnt that bad and if you weren't so strict I could have told you what I was at

Xtreme in London, somewhere... Honestly I can't remember much about it :)

I’m really jealous of those of you who can remember the exact places and times of events like these :(

My first big band was Kings of Leon (I’m 25 and this was when I was about 16) and I know it was in Birmingham but I can’t remember which arena or even the season :(

To be fair I remember most of the other ones much more clearly

Buzzcocks in 1979.

Ned's atomic dustbin, 1991, Birmingham area

Officially - New Kids on the Block.
What I tell people - Eric Clapton at RAH (it was about a month later!)

Meatloaf - Lancaster University think 1972

Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Ilford Odeon 1978 I think.

Massive attack

I was about 13 at the time

Dr Hook in the mid 70s

Sunhill OMG I remember seeing the Syle Council at Manchester Apollo probably about 1986. Jumped over a bloody huge balcony to run to the front and got chased by bouncers (not caught!)

Genesis, Shaftesbury Avenue. Peter Gabriel was still lead singer. 73 or thereabouts.

Busted
i was a "i think im a rocker but im not" sort of teen
