What was your first gig?

[Frankblackwife]

I say mine was frank black and the catholics, it was in fact Robbie Williams haha

U2, Milton Keynes Bowl in 1985. Supported by REM, The Ramones, Billy Bragg and Spear of Destiny. I was about 14 or 15.

See I get pretty bored at regular gigs! It’s non-stop dancing for me at raves and the vibe is other worldly. That feeling when the beat DROPS 🤩 Met DP at a rave last year. 😁

Craig David when I was 15, I cried 😂😂😂

I can't dance to save my life, sadly lol

Congrats on the dp tho hah

I saw spilt enz at the Sydney entertainment centre in 1983. I was 13. First gig

Me too. At the Hammersmith odeon. Saw him live this summer as well

I need to see Muse, tour ye fuckers

Although I don't really enjoy stadium gigs, but it is what it is

Muse in Manchester, 2006 is the one I always say was the dullest gig ever 🤣

I couldn’t wait for it to finish, but DH LOVED it. I remember the sound being horrendous and a guitar being thrown.

Shakin Steven's! 45 years ago and I can still remember the utter joy I felt there!!

Oh no haha my ex was a big prog fan so yeah sat through some questionable bands

Metallica at The NEC before the black album came out

Boyzone.

a-ha 1987 Manchester Apollo

Manic street preachers when I was about 12?

Radiohead, Brixton Academy, 1995, when I was 16. I remember they covered Nobody Does it Better, which feels a long way from where they are now.

A-ha, Guildhall Preston in 1987, later that year, I saw the Human League in their home town, Sheffield

Robyn, 1999

I was extremely hung over for radiohead , sad about that cos I really didn't care. Nice kebeb after tho, came a naan bread

Oh, no way. That would be a no.

I once watched an indie band play mandolins for 2 hours. Not good.

@chipsticksmammyMy H and I saw Muse at Manchester Uni students union in about 2000. They were technically very good, but so very boring. I assumed they learned a bit of stagecraft as they got bigger, but it appears not!

Rush at Wembley shudder, went on for many many hours lol

Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Sheffield uni students' union, autumn 1990. DH (was boyfriend then, though we had bought our engagement rings that day) has a very eclectic taste in music. Now we have a bit more disposable income he goes to at least a couple of gigs a month. I go to some, but these days only if we get seats!

Who were they and did you get good and drunk?
