First concert

[hau kola]

What was the first concert you went to and how old were you?
Mine was Adam and the Ants when i was 14.

[raysparx1]

Used to go to see the Stones and yardbirds every week when they first started, God Kola I am getting old, I was 15 then.

Lindisfarne, supported by Chas & Dave. I was almost nineteen (my parents didn't allow such jaunts when I was younger).

[hau kola]

I think kids these days go to more concerts than when i was young(er).
My daughter has been to loads, mainly with me mind, and shes 14.

[hau kola]

Ooooh, i`m going to see a Jam tribute group on Friday. Should be a good night.

[hau kola]

And Ray, youre not old.

[Fanriffic]

Pet Shop Boys - 1989 - Glasgow SECC. I was 18.
Very over the top and LOUD.
The pets put on a great live show.

I loved the PSBs in the 80s. Are they still going?

[hau kola]

Lol, each to their own. I liked them back then but my taste in music has changed somewhat.

[Fanriffic]

Yeah, the PSB are still going strong hau kola.
New album due for release in 2009.

I went to the concert because I liked the stuff they were doing at the time. West End Girls, Suburbia, It's a Sin.
Some of the recent stuff is okay but the 80s and early 90s were best.

I wouldn't say they were talentless thought. They write some good songs and the lyrics are very well thought out to tell the story of the songs.
They wouldn't be around today if they didn't have talent because the public wouldn't buy their records.
They are great producers and often remix other artists records by request.
I've even heard people saying they don't like the PSB because they are gay but that's just being petty and narrow minded. If people like the music they hear, they will buy it.
I buy it and I'm not gay.

I remember my second concert better than my first.
It was Sting.

[hau kola]

Its a sin is one of my favourite songs.

Not to keen on Sting although he did marry a girl from my hometown so he can`t be all bad.

[Mortartube]

Whitesnake - 1984 at the Brighton Centre, God I was 18. Lol

[IceyMaiden]

Blimey - trying to think back here!! I was taken to one in Germany when Queen were on their last tour. I was about 8, I think. I was 12 when I saw Pink Floyd at Knebworth.

[Petal~flower]

I saw Real Thing when I was about 15

doubt no one else remembers them lol

[andy-hughes]

Deep deep envy ray!

I used to see Budgie oncce a month at the George Hotel in Burslem, but my first 'proper' gig was when I was seventeen - bit of a late starter - made up for it since!

It was David Bowie on the 'Ziggy' tout in '73 - cost me �3 to take my girlfriend and I along to one of the best nights of my life! �1.50 a ticket - I knew how to show a girl a good time!
