First Pop concert

[warpig3]

Following on from Pinkfizz's question, what band did you see in your first pop concert?

[Trinny]

Showing my age here..........but think it was Real Thing (who you will all ask!) lol

[warpig3]

Just a couple of years before my time but I remember my sister being really into them. So that makes two in their fan club at least!

[Trinny]

doctor spock.... think that is sadder than me admitting to seeing Real Thing!

[megan07]

Hi warpig i saw Queen at newcastle city hall in the seventies they were fantastic i will never forget it

[Trinny]

Sadly yes doctor spock. And | used to fancy the one with the white trousers!

The Benny Goodman Trio. Benny on clarinet, Teddy on piano. and Gene on drums.

Shawadywaddy in Norwich. Cant remember anything about it - they were that good. The last concert i saw was with my daughter to see Steps just before they split up and they were good.

[warpig3]

Thank you for all you answers, an interesting mix for sure.

dr spock, excellent video, was up dancing round the room!

My first concert was OMD, I remember trying to climb up this guys leg to get to the stage, he was about 6'5" and I couldn't see over him! Oh well I was only 13, the folly of youth!

[unruliejulie]

Hi warpig, mine i am very proud to say was Duran Duran! What a night that was at 13 years old!

[warpig3]

unruliejulie, I can imagine, all my friends were into Duran Duran but I just had to be different, around the same era though,

[My Angel Pie]

ALexander O'neal at Wembly and i soooo wanted to be the girl he picked from the crowd to lie with him on the bed with the dry-iced stage and having him sing "if you were here tonight" !!!!! OMG !!!!! ahhhh such good memories.

[samuel23]

Oh god ~ do I answer truthfully or do I lie to try to maintain my cool and keep my street cred.?

OK it was 1996, I was 13 and my sister took me to see ..

Take That (oh noooo)

< Hangs head in shame>

The follwing year I went to see Oasis, and I usually say they were ther first band I saw coz my mates would never let me live it down if they found out.
Even worse than that ~ the first single I ever bought was Spaceman, by Babylon Zoo. Listening to that again now I wonder if I wasn't just a little bit weird when I was young.

I'll get me coat. ......................... LOL

[warpig3]

Ha, ha, angel pie, he picked me instead!
