Deeside Leisure Centre, 1979. Went by myself, I was 14 years old and cacking conkers, first ever concert and all alone, but nothing was going to stop me seeing them, absolutely nothing! Dad dropped me off and picked me up later. (This is obviously recent footage, but you get the gist).
Support band were pants, Wazmo Nariz.

Inexplicably, the first album I ever bought was Equinoxe by Jean-Michel Jarre.
This is probably the most notable track from it:

Possibly (no - definitely) the most obnoxious man I ever met - but an epic concert at Birmingham Odeon

Joan Jett mmmm This was on the radio the other day and prompted a little bit of juvenile volume in the car ( with all the windows shut though).

[rockyracoon]

It's funny but when I listen to older stuff now, I tend to like stuff that I couldn't stand when growing up, like Supertramp, I thought they were absolute crap, now I love listening to them.

Wall of Voodoo- Mexican Radio, first heard this in Bobby Mcgees on Rose Street Edinburgh. And
Bauhaus -Bela Lugosis Dead, loved dancing to it at The Hoochie *** club.
That was when I wore make up!

[Gavmacp]

Don't know why but it blocked ***!

[Gavmacp]

Well I never I did not realise that c.o.o.c.h.i.e was a rude word!
