Your first gig...

[Stockcarfan]

My first ever gig was The Macc Lads at Nottingham Rock City in 1986 adn my second one was (don't laugh ) The Spice Girls at Birmingham NEC 1997 when there were all five of them.

Oh God, this one is sooo embarrasing. The first gig I went to was to see BROS!!!! Don't get me wrong, I was never a fan but my sister really wanted to go and none of her mates did so I had to go cos my mum wouldn't let her go on her own. 2000 Brosettes with Grolsh top on their shoes screaming hysterically for Matt, Luke & Craig was not my cup of tea at all.

And even worse still, Pat & Mick were the supporting artist... AAAAARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH

My first big gig was Blue Oyster cult supported by Girlschool, 1985 at Edinburgh Playhouse...it Rocked!!!

1st gig I went to was the Average White Band in Bournemouth, I was 12 and on holiday and was allowed on my own (well it was the seventies).

[ScratchBobItchPants]

I went to the Mizz Road Show in Chester when I was 12 and got to see such class acts as: Clock, 2unlimited, PJ & Duncan and Toni De Bart! Very sad I know!
My first live music gig was at the Manchester Appollo in 1994 when my mates Dad took us to see 'Mike and the Mechanics' I'd never heard of them until that night!!

Red Wedge = Labour Party = Billy Bragg!!! Poor nottrikk, you need to see Black Sabbath in concert to fully understand a REAL gig

[nottrikk]

Mine was (and I'm quite proud of this one) was Billy Bragg at the local sports centre in the North East. That was back in the days that 'Red Wedge' was the musical arm of the Labour party. The Best all time gig has to be Prince at Manchester Main road. Just before the album Diamonds and pearls came out. Truly awesome. And the hassle I had getting to the gig was epic in proportion. The bus company that I'd booked with went out of business about a week before the concert, I had to book a train to Manchester and organise a ticket at the venue itself. They had sold out, but a friend worked at the venue and managed to get me a ticket from 'the back room' basically, it was a hand written note to the showsec staff to let me in. They had an 'understanding' with the venue staff for this sort of thing. I was ushered to the other line that went to the front of the stage reserved for VIP's and the like. Very special.

[SpiralCoolStuff]

Mine was yesterday!!! (1st June 2006) Alice Cooper Man, he totaly rocked!!! He was amazing!!!!!! He did a one night only concert at the Villa Marina in Douglas here on the Isle Of Man. Only small though, with somewhere between 100 n 200 people, summat like that but it was fantastic!

[Jaydee]

don't know if this should be memorable or embarrassing but a friend and i went down to london to see a variety of bands in some event at some park (lol). It could even have been Regents' Park? aaaanyhoo...i really only wanted to see Carter (the Unstoppable Sex Machine) and waited a fair while of the day before they came on. Just before they got on stage my friend and i edged closer and closer until the band came on and on the first chord someone jumped on my foot (and broke it!), i half passed out and got hauled up over the crowd with a bouncer grabbing my by my nickers and giving me a supreme wedgie to get me down into the pit lol. i missed the entire set and had chaff-burn on my *** for a week afterwards lol. how's that for a memory?

[Elbmek]

The first ever gig I went to was The Stones in The Park in 1969. The second was Ravi Shankar live at the Liverpool Philharmonic. The last was Black Sabbath at the Birmingham Academy 5 years ago.
