Ark Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Don't know why mate, but I really didn't picture you listening to this sort of music Good taste tho It seems to surprise a lot of people. Oh yeah, my first ever gig was Guns n' Roses, at the Milton Keynes bowl in '93 I think. Start as you mean to go on! Are we allowed to list support acts too? Do they count? - Drain - Neurosis - Rachel Stamp - Skin Lab !!!! - G//Z/R - Manhole Los Angles - Blind Melon - The Cult - Dog Eat Dog Oh yeah, how could I forget seeing Anthrax twice. That leaves only one of "the big four" I've never seen - Megadeth. Probably best to miss them out, 'coz the wife fancies Dave Mustaine, with his golden flowing locks, stepped straight from the salon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I totally agree, we had to wait a while for her to come on stage but she was brilliant. Would definitely go and see her again Yes thats certainly true. We went to Pink's concert in October 2006, and she took ages to come on to the stage, and her support act T-Bone man thing, whoever they were, were crap unfortunately. My girlfriend's obsessed with her though. We'll be seeing her again. I took her brother, who's never been to see a live band, to see Muse at Wembley this year. That was another stonking concert, as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 The very first were the likes of the Small Faces and the Hollies on one of those 60s package tours where you couldn't hear anything. Then the "Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music" in 1970 -- utterly unbelievable bill http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_Festival_of_Blues_and_Progressive_Music_1970 (God, I'm old) Since then, in no particular order.... (I probably can't remember half of them) Nils Lofgren Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Van Morrison Nanci Griffith The Blues Brothers Band (Cropper and Dunn... and Edwin Starr again ) Albert Lee Joan Armatrading Sha-Na-Na (once with Keith Moon) Fleetwood Mac (after Peter Green but before Buckingham/Nicks) Head, Hands, and Feet The Saw Doctors Richard Thompson World Party John Martyn Steeleye Span The Waterboys Squeeze Ten Years After Ralph McTell The Everly Brothers Alison Moyet The Blues Band Julia Fordham Fairport Convention Mary Black Canned Heat Stone the Crows (Alex Harvey's little brother Les on guitar, later electrocuted on stage at Swansea Top Rank) Chicken Shack Tori Amos Runrig The Pink Fairies Family The Oyster Band The Wonderstuff Bonnie Raitt and innumerable local bands like K-Passa and Shakin' Stevens and the Sunsets. Biggest regret is missing Little Feat, The Who, and the Sensational Alex Harvey Band at the Vetch Field in 1976 because I was on my way back from the Isle of Man TT. Then Keith Moon died in 1978, Lowell George in 1979, and Alex Harvey in 1982...... EDIT: How could I forget Slade and the Kinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 See Foo fighters last night in cardiff. FANTASTIC. It was at the international stadium so it was quite small and meant we could get right up close to the stage. Warm up band was quite good too with the lead singer from system of a down.
