Seen so many, (in my youth used to go to 5 gigs a week) couldn't possibly remember them all tho'.

My fist gig was Transvision Vamp at Nottingham Rock City, & have seen alot of bands since. I've got fingers crossed for Radio 1's big weekend in Preston at the moment.

Ha ha, chocolateshoes, you've reminded me, I saw Dr and the Medics at nottingham rock city for a laugh. Good (if a little odd) night out.

First concert was Madonna! (But I was only little)

Since then I have seen:

David Bowie
MORRISSEY (several times!)
Echo & the Bunnymen
New Order
Depeche Mode
Lightning Seeds

Would love to have seen the Cure

Gary Glitter
Rainbow
Whitesnake
Status Quo
Van Halen
Ozzie Osbourne
Kiss
AC/DC (lots)
Blondie
Bryan Adams
INXS (touched the bass player's plectrum )

Have to laugh at Mogwai appearing so often - I remember them all sitting in Jim's Bar in the QM drinking cidernblack with the engineers and physics students - black t shirts the lot of 'em

Kerrymum's definitely winning so far

Ah the smell of sweaty fat blokes and the joy of elbowing folks out the way so you could get to the front and nick the set list.

KerryMum, I am sooooo jealous!!

Btw, I dressed up as Angus Young of AC/DC today for our rock'n'roll theme at the Childrens' Parade in Brighton.

First gig was Cranberries but my list is a real mix!!

Status Quo (with my parents)
Simply Red (with my parents)
Take That (the first time round)
Pulp
Stereophonics
Muse (amazing live!)
Jools Holland
Freestylers
Bluetones
Faithless
Longpigs

When people ask me what genre of music I like I really struggle. I like it all!!
