Late 90s. Howard Jones doing a small gig at The Hobbit in Southampton...he was one of my 80s idols and I actually had a conversation with him after the gig...he is very intelligent and friendly!

Porcupine Tree is the best gig I've ever been to. Joe satriani in second place.

I've seen dozens of bands, but the one that sticks in my mind is the late, great Ronnie James Dio at Hammersmith. What a voice ! The other reason I picked this one is that my son was at this gig with me. Father and son both enjoying an HM gig wonder how often that happens ?

Guns n' Roses at Milton Keynes bowl 1993...Epic!

Also a good one was The Stones at Sheffield Don Valley 1995 Voodoo Lounge tour.

My first ever gig was The Thompson Twins at the Glasgow Apolo 1984 and although I had no benchmark they were still amazing, saw The Smiths at Glasgow Barrowlands twice and the atmosphere was electric. Another one that stands out for sheer excellence was Madonna's Blond Ambition Tour at Wembley in 1990, what a lady!

Queen @ Slane Castle (Ireland) July 1986 (I was just 16). Supporting acts Fountainhead (Irish band, didn't know their songs), The Bangles (sounded like they were miming) & Chris Rea (boring as F&*k), but then Freddie came on...................

Wishbone Ash at Bath Pavilion in 1977. They were as impressed with us as we were with them. They said we were a great bunch of rockers after a second encore.
