Hawkwind, Preston Guildhall 1980

Just remembered i have one Iron Maiden cut-out picture dsic – name of the track escapes me, the one where the pic is of Eddie morphing into the devil…

maiden on the powerslave tour in 1983 at newcastle city hall was my second gig; first was the michael schenker group, also at newcastle city hall, in 1982 (aged 14)…

These guys, Monsters of Rock, Donnington Park…1984

Muddy – that’s ‘Sanctuary’ isn’t it?

X – I was there too 🙂

Ooh – Michael Schenker Group, two albums by them as well – ‘assault attack’ (?) and Built to Destroy.

‘Samurai…’ 8)

Think thats it M-F, memory a bit dodgy these days!

Erm, Magnum and FM, 1986

I always thought from all the macho posturing on here that this forum was populated with a younger demographic, but from this thread it seems like I’m one of the youngest on here. Or perhaps all the kids are out scoring drugs.

Simple Minds, Dundee Caird Hall, 1982

The preponderance of so many R-R-R-Rock first gigs on here is a trifle disconcerting……
Mine was much more cerebral rock – Be Bop Deluxe,21st January 1977 ,Manchester Free Trade Hall.

Iron Maiden with Anthrax giving a much better support performance 1990-91 ish

I saw them also, Edinburgh, fantastic gig

my first was this tour (seems that most of STW’s first gig was the mighty Maiden)

Dogbert, yes I saw them at Edinburgh as well. Maiden were good but Anthrax had the edge.

Genesis, Brighton 1978?. My brother took me.

Was also at the crowded house one at the g Mex mentioned somewhere above.

Soundgarden, Faith No More and Guns n Roses at Gateshead in ’92 I think.

I was there too – front right of the stage at the very front, right below Slash – I remember it well, a sunny but cold day and quite windy – reminded me of the November Rain video with his hair blowing in the wind 🙂

The Skids at the Marquee in 79.

Buzzcocks ’78 Bradford. Love Bites tour?

Either young’uns don’t go to concerts or there are a lot of old folks on here.

The Jam & The Stranglers, Leeds Poly, April 1977

Stiff Little Fingers, Ulster Hall, 1984

Actually, it might have been The Police at Queens Hall in Leeds a few months earlier in ’81. My best friend’s sister wanted us to go with her, I wasn’t up for it being a Punk, but fancied her, so.

Buzzcocks at Leeds University – 1977 or 78.

Steeleye Span, Lacock Folk Festival, forty years ago last year. Next gig was Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Trilogy Tour, St David’s Hall, Cardiff 1972. Steeleye played Chippenham Folk Festival last year for the 40th anniversary, and I met Maddy Prior afterwards and had my copies of Below The Salt on original vinyl and CD signed. Great gig.

Sparklehorse in Bristol in 1998.

I saw Sparklehorse a couple of times, was that the Fleece gig when Mark came on pissed, and got progressively more shitfaced as the gig went on? Gemma Hayes was support, IIRC, and I saw her at the Fleece two or three weeks ago. Lovely girl, great singer.

MrsBouy watched The Specials in 82, owe errr.

Roxy Music at the Glasgow Apollo probably around 1977-78.

Skunk Anansie – May 1995 – Clapham Common

Can’t quite remember, either this lot,

or the delight that was,

Either way would have been at Rock City some time in the late 80s.

“Boney M”, 1979 8) Saturday Seaside Special, Castlerushen, Isle of Man.

Death Angel, the Beirkeller in Liverpool, 1988.

Public Image Limited Aberdeen Capitol 1986.

Rebelution and the green. hands down sickest show i have ever been to.

Black Sabbath at Bradford St.Georges Hall – early 75 ish

Dinosaur Jr – Brixton Academy around 1994/1995 very loud, ear buzzingly loud 😀

Stiff Little fingers at Leicester DeMontfort hall 79 or 80 I believe

First 2 gigs in the same week …. Bad Company at the Birmingham Odeon followed by UFO somewhere in Stoke!

Barclay James Harvest in Berlin 🙂

Damned, Anti Nowhere League, Charge & Chron Gen about 82 in London, was hard going to school the next day…

Skunk Anansie – Glasgow Barrowlands 1996. The lead singer Skin burst out a side door as we were queuing before the gig and almost wiped me out in the process….never even got an apology. 🙄

Stereophonics were the first support band on and failed to liven the crowd up.
