[Archived] Your First Concert

[b12_simon]

Would that have been Bob Seeger's band? I think they were actually know as Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band?

While I'm at it does anyone recall a Birmingham based group (70s!) The Steve Gibbons Band? Guy I knew at college used to roadie for them, in our Students Union they were awesome. Would have been 1972 or 73.

I know Steve Gibbons's son Dylan - he DJs around Birmingham and used to go out with a neighbour of mine (it being a small world, she's a Harwood lass).

[Billy Castell]

Big Day Out, Milton Keynes, 1997 (I think).

Metallica were headlining, as were Sepultura, Ministry, Terrorvision, Placebo, Marilyn Manson (who was so sh_t), Queens of the Stone Age, Pitschifter and some more I have forgotten. It was real fun, and a fantastically hot day.

[Nelsta]

The Prodigy,Manchester apollo.late 90's.Just after the release of Firestarter.

[Driver99]

Tangerine Dream-Manchester Apollo-Think it was 1976-amazing laser show by lasererium.

[stegraham]

The Cult at Manchester Apollo, March 1987. Coincidently The Cult were the last band I saw too, a couple of months ago at the CC Club in London. Still rocking strong 20 years later

As an eleven year old boy, I attended Reading Rock in 1978 (Albeit with Mum and Dad). I saw The Jam, Status Quo, TRB, Patti Smith and loads of other brill groups I cannot remember now. Plus John Peel was the MC, and to hear a Radio One DJ swearing his head off was a bit of a shock.

I think my first gig without parents was The Damned in KGH around 1979 ish, or it may have been SLF at a similar time at the same venue.

[tcj_jones]

Jimmy Eat World at the Brixton Academy in 2002. Was a really good night.

[Eddie]

Rather sadly POD at the Bataclan in Paris in 2002, with Skindred (sp?) and El Nino the supporting acts. I would never go and see any of them again, but it was a pretty interesting and enjoyable experience.

[American]

Willie Nelson.

I doubt very much that Bob Seger has ever played at Blackburn .

I could be wrong but I'd be very surprised indeed ......great group ; "Stranger in Town" is a fantastic album for anyone interested .

[Paul]

"Stranger in Town" is a fantastic album for anyone interested .

Ian Dury & The Blockheads - Preston Guild Hall '78 - excellent. After that, I went to just about every punk/new wave gig at King Georges my job in a chip shop would allow

[Spencer]

Pink Floyd - May 7, 1971 at Lancaster University. Also on the bill, I think, were Traffic. Elton John was also due to play but pulled-out because, if I recall correctly, "Your Song" had just made No1 (didn't like him anyway)!

My Mum went to that gig, wouldn't let me go (I was 10 and it was a school night). Reckons she got backstage and copped off with Chaz Jankel. Classy.

[Cheeky Sidders]

It was the Wombles for me in about 76/77 at Preston Guild Hall (I think) on a school trip. I shook hands with Tomsk. Rock & roll!
