(i wasn't allowed to go to concerts so i snuck out of the house via my bedroom window to see most of those bands. naughty me!)

Lol i remember me and the gang climbing walls or sneaking into nearby buildings under construction to watch most concerts....dad and mom thought we were studying...no cell phones back then...good times indeed !

I have only ever seen one major band (ie all others were small gigs for local bands) and that was the Vaselines, in Nottingham.

I used to go to see my mate's band play at a lot of their gigs, and they once played with Kasabian in Leicester, before Kasabian went big.

OMG! That must have been amazing! What a cool memory that must be! Was Richie Valens and the Big Bopper the supporting acts on this tour?

My first concert was to see David Cassidy. when he sang "Brown Eyes" my friend and I were kneeing on our chairs like he was a god and we were the only one's in the entire place with brown eyes. ha now I have to youtube that song

Kim Carnes was the first act of that concert...bleh...

I can't remember all the concerts I've seen because some of them were at campouts, woodstock wannabe concerts... like where I saw Benny Mardonis lol.'

Some highlights I can remember:

Hearing voices in my head at Iron Maiden Seventh Son tour show. Never happened to me before or since.

Audience member being pulled on stage by invisible force coming from Guitar Wolf's hands. He definitely had some kind of Chi power.

Quintron playing his homemade light-based instrument that he invented.

Lightning Bolt, actually lived up to their name. Probably louder than a lightning bolt.
