Your First Concert

Assuming that you mean non-classical, then it was UFO in 1980 at the Manchester Apollo (as it was then).

Super Furry Animals in 1996
Or first stadium concert was Oasis at the SECC(?) in Glasgow 1998 I think. The one after Bonehead walked off after someone threw a bottle.

My first gig was outdoors. UB40 in Excel, Docklands in 2006. Great gig

The Jeff Healey Band at Cmbridge Corn Exchange, far too long ago for me to want to remember the date. An awe-inspiring guitarist and a superb night.
RIP Jeff.

Silverchair, Shepherd's Bush in 2003. All I remember is being really high up, I only went because my girlfriend loved them Turned out to be quite good actually.

Not my first, but I was at that gig, and enjoyed every minute of it!

Metalmorphosis, Johannesburg, 1993.

It was awesome. They threw a dead goat into the crowd

I've never ever ever mentioned this before because I like to keep it to myself but my first ever concert was Led Zeppelin - Trentham Gardens - 1971.

I don't think it's a competition. But if it was, yes I think you would lose.

I was there (plus all the other tours before that).
I've seen some cracking concerts at Bingley Hall including Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Pink Floyd (boring), Rolling Stones, The Who (twice once with Keith Moon), Boston, Styx, Genesis and so on.

One More Solo · 17 May 2012 at 20:54

U2 in Manchester, 2001 (two nights back to back, yeahhh buddy), followed a few months after by Muse at Doncaster Dome. Definitely got the bug after that.

Psymonkee · 17 May 2012 at 21:24

Maiden in 2003 at Glasgow SECC.

Dance of Death world tour iirc. Epic.

Seen them 4 times now
