Your first concert?

[Blinkin]

What was the first concert you ever attended?

Mine was Iron Maiden in Charlotte NC in 2012; was an absolutely phenomenal time. And am actually going to see them again this October.

 

[EssexReds]

Oasis, 1997, Earl‘s Court, absolutely brilliant. The brothers Gallagher at their best, small inside venue, great memories…

 

[Lefkasman]

Mine was this. Then The Sutherland brothers and Quiver at the Albert hall Nottingham.

Oasis at the Nottingham arena about 2002, I think.

 

[Grenville 1898]

OMD, Loughbrough Uni 84

That was the Junk Culture tour - I saw them at the Gaumont Theatre, Southampton in 84.

First concert was the Electric Light Orchestra 'Out of the Blue: Live at Wembley' 1978

 

[Morpeth_Edgar]

My first was Westlife. My last was Tim Minchin.

Apart from free tickets to Rihanna at the Stadium of Light (because she couldn’t sell tickets), that’s my lot.

And I care not one jot as I’m an old fashioned raver.

First was a rapper named Isaiah Rashad, from Kendrick Lamar’s label, and it was in a small venue in Oakland CA. really awesome night, even Rashad was passing the blunt around.

 

[BuckeyeRed]

'78 or '79, The Ian Hunter Band featuring Mick Ronson. Special Guest David Johansen. Meat Loaf even showed up and did the encore with Ian and the boys.
Richfield (Ohio) Coliseum.

 

[Bonalair]

1985, just weeks before Live Aid.

1985, just weeks before Live Aid.

I was there too!

It wasn’t my first though.

I think my first was Big Country at Rock City in 1984.

Wet wasn’t it! I’ve actually got a double vinyl bootleg of the gig somewhere. I remember hating REM for years they were so bad, then when I did get into them I read they listed that as their worst gig ever.

Thinking about it I may have been to an Alarm gig just before this as they were our local band.

 

[Winnits]

First proper one was Prodigy at G-Mex in Manchester in 1996/7 I think. Supported by Foo Fighters

 

[Vikare]

Blind Guardian, followed the next day by In Flames. 2010ish. (2009? 2011?) Details hazy. Too much alcohol. Too much singing at the top of my lungs.

 

[Viktor]

My first was Prodigy as well, but at the Hallam FM Arena in 2009, supported by Dizzee Rascal.

Last was Kate Nash. Been to see 223 different people in all. Not bad in 13 years.

 

[Barbus]

Peter Gabriel at the NEC in 86.

Madonna in Leeds in 87 for me closely followed by Anthrax at Rock City. A bit random those two!

 

[Tiff]

Erasure in peebrah in about ‘87 , was pretty good from what I remember.

July 1968, I was 14, and I went with a girl from school to see Steve Ellis's band 'The Love Affair'. Even got served with a pint at the bar of the club. A few weeks later we went to see The Move at the same venue.

 

[HBB]

Lloyd Cole and the Commotions - must have been around 87 at Leicester DeMontford with the Railway Children playing support. Excellent.

 

[football post]

Madness Leicester De Montfort 1980

 

[Heffing Psycho!]

Mine was Franz Ferdinand supported by Editors and the Rakes at Nottingham Arena in 2005.

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

Saw Ian Dury in 1979 with the old man and his mates.

First one with my mates was Beastie Boys in Birmingham 86'.

 

[Captain Sinister]

I have been wracking my aging little grey cells, but cannot for the life of my remember: was it Mungo Jerry, at Carlton Le willows Grammar School in 1971? Or was it Van Der Graaf Generator at Digby College also around that time. Or it might have been a band at the Boat Club... East of Eden (remember Jig a Jig?), or Curved Air & Black Sabbath at the albert Hall?
Or were there earlier events?
Maybe Fleetwood Mac in cornwall (might have been 1969, or thereabouts).

In 1976, I saw ELO at the Birmingham NEC. I was there shouting with everyone else “Come back on, ELO, and carry on playing!”
