my first concert

[mrbig]

I can remeber the very first concert I went to in London, Ontario, Canada, It was Corey Heart'S Boy In the box. (Ok everyone can stop laughing now). It was a pretty good concert cuz they had lots of music videos on a big screen b4 the show started. Does anyone else remeber this concert.

Thanks

[andrea]

My first concerts were The Stray Cats, Adam and The Ants and Haircut 100.(still fancy Nick Heyward like crazy)
I later went to see the Simple Minds and Simply Red.
One Band i regret not seeing when i had the chance was The Jam. Anybody else got any regrets on bands they didnt see.

Don't laugh gang, but the very first concert I went to was in 1981 Bucks Fizz, they were good! I've since been to loads,Bryan Adams He's fab live.!Seen Duran Duran for the first time last year in manchester, going to see them again in december, went to an 80s concert last year, saw Midge Ure, Kim Wilde,Belinda Carlisle,bucks fizz were on too! going to see A ha in december too. I regret not going to see peter gabriel at liverpool last year.And I am really really annoyed at missing Tony Hadley and ABC earlier this year, it had been cancelled and I hadn't been told about it!images/icons/icon9.gif

I saw Midge ure a few months ago. He performed a sell out concert and i have to say he was far better than i remember in the 80s. I am going to see Howard Jones soon. I hope he is just as good.

Andrea:cool:


They think that i'm the other one and the other one is me but i am not the other one and the other one aint me !!

[armchair_scouse]

'The Men They Couldn't Hang' at Subterrania, I think. The first 'big' band I saw were 'The Wonder Stuff' at Brixton Academy. What an excellent night.

[OrangeCremolaFoam]

Hi mates!!!!

Armchair, saw the Stuffies at Reading Fesival 1992 along with Nirvana, Teenage Fanclub, Eugenius, Public Enemy, Nick Cave, P.I.L. Mudhoney, L7 and many others..was fantastic..listened to 'the Eight Legged Groove Machine' the other day..still brilliant..loved and went to see many bands in the 80's and early 1990's in Edinburgh and Glasgow..loved Pop Will Eat Itself, Gaye Bykers On Acid, Zodiac Mindwarp, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Janes Addiction, Mega City 4, husker Du and most 1977 Punk Rock, 80's U.K. Goth and lots of rock and metal too..lol.. love music..just dont get to as many gigs as id like these days!!!

On Sunday went to the Punk at the Academy Gig in Glasgow while at Tracys (my fiance lives and works in Glasgow which is well handy!!) and saw some Punk Legends, some for the first time others not and most of the crowd were the wrong side of 40..lol.. it was for the 30th Anniversary of Punk Rock..good line up as it was a Clash Tribute Band, A Stiff Little Fingers Tribute Band, G.B.H., the Meteors, the Beat, the Damned and the Rezillos..fantastic evening..;0)

all the best...

[Oggy]

Sound fun Rab mate, loved the Sex Pistols, Sham 69, the Jam way kool classy too, The Specials too

[OrangeCremolaFoam]

Hi Oggy...

I love the Jam, especially the early singles that were more Punk than mod..great Band..Saw the Sex Pistols when they reformed and had Stiff Little fingers supporting, they were probably more together than they would ever have been in the 1970's and were all the better for having Glen Matlock on bass..;0)

Sham 69 were a class act, i well remember them on Top Of the Pops and that cheeky Jimmy Pursey, 'Hello mum, guess whos on top of the pops again!' , 'Doint turn it off watch this!'.. Hersham Boys, Borstal Breakout,If The Kids Are United,angels with Dirty Faces..how I miss the days of Punk, was a bit too young too appreciate it first time round in 1976 but have caught up! lol.. Saw Blondie when they reformed too, one of my other favourite all time Bands....

The Specials..Coventrys Finest and one of the most Classic Ska and two tone Bands ever..(thats why I was so happy to see the Beat on sunday, who were superb!) along with Early Madness and the Selecter...liked Fun boy 3 with Terry Hall too!! clever man...I remember seeing the Specials on the Whistle Test..good memories..Music these days just doesnt seem to have the same appeal for me apart from a few Bands.. im also a big Go-Gos and Bangles fan, there were some good Bands in the 80's contrary to some peoples opinions!! Yazoo,Ultravox,Adam and The Ants, the Pogues, Early (and darker!) Human League, R.E.M. and many others.....

all the best...

Rab ;0)

[steve edwards]

the jam were apparently kicked out of a pub in farnborough because the landlord said they had so little talent they would never get far ....oh well

[Oggy]

Wonder if he ate his hat, they were kool as a well kool, and Paul Weller still going strong, I know Bruce Foxton had a single out Freak, which was great but whatever happen to him and rick, was it?

[ian baker]
