KISS with Helix and Heavy Pettin in support. Glasgow Appollo in October 1983, it was a quite awesome gig, great memory.
How can you older people remember from back in the 60s & 70s !?! My memories are all a bit, ahem, hazey 😯 8)
Crowed House, Nelson 89.
Best, The Beach Boys, Wembley Stadium 1976 they had the whole stadium singing Good Vibrations, Barbara Anne etc.
Worst, Elton John, Wembley Stadium 1976 he followed the Beach Boys and the stadium started to empty!
Should also add Dr Feelgood @ The Kursaal Southend were brilliant.
Def Leppard, Malvern Winter Gardens 1979
Jimster I think you'll find Def Leppard were the support band ... remember who headlined????
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band in the Sally in Perth about 1972
Aerosmith @ Wembley....
Iron Maiden at the Birmingham Odeon, October 1986.
Galliano - Bristol Anson Rooms - long time ago!
Squeeze, 1982 at Salford Uni with the current Mrs Sandwich. (It keeps her on her toes, and me too!)
Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, Edinburgh Playhouse 1986 - waiting outside after for my pal's dad to pick us up we watched a guy get hit and killed by a guy on a motorbike.
As a shoegazing sixth former, i saw Ride at Derby assembly rooms, supported by a rather lively support act called "The Verve".
Talk about upstaged; in response, Andy Bell (He who went on to strum for Oasis) snapped 3 strings on his guitar during Ride's first song...

I was once at a free festival at Windsor Great Park in, erm, the early seventies - ish. I think. Probably '72. Or maybe '73....
Anyway, I distinctly remember that we were all waiting for [i]The Pink Fairies[/i] to come on stage. We waited and waited only to be told that they weren't going to appear because they were too stoned to play.
Strangely, nobody seemed to mind... 🙂
First Live band I saw was a little-known group from Cornwall called Rootjoose, in the Footage & Firkin on Oxford Road, Manchester ...

Such a long time ago... early 70s
will have been around 72 or 73 at Leeds Uni
Not sure which was first ...either
Rick Wakeman and the English Rock Ensemble ( honest )
or
Nils Lofgren , Support was a stunning Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
but it could have been one of many as LEeds Uni was fantastic back then for bands
The Pouges @ the Forum in Kentish Town probably around '87 I guess.

No they were the Headline act on the "Through the night tour" supported by Witchfynde - 1980 not 79 as previously quoted. 😳
I almost certainly watched a few ageing British Beat groups gig when I was a nipper in the early 70s..
Then maybe Anthrax supported by Killer Dwarfs in '87 or perhaps Iron Maiden around the same time
show me age now the mighty hawkwind at the brangwyn hall swansea.1972ish space ritual tour with lemmy, brock, nik turner and a certain dancer .not a bad start ?? .still remember lot of it to this day.
Stranglers, Bournemouth Village Bowl '77
