Your first ever concert?

[DavidinSouthampton]

Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley and The Duchess - at Birmingham Town Hall

You lucky bar steward.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

AC/DC, Cambridge Corn Exchange, September-ish1977.

I've never been a fan of them (they're alright...), before or since.

 

[Diego Napier]

Pink Floyd at the Dome - January 1972. It should have been the live début of Dark side of the moon but technical problems during Money caused them to abandon it and revert to some of their classics (none of which I'd heard before). As experienced with [MENTION=19]Icy Gull[/MENTION] above, the large quantities of dope being smoked all around a callow teenager caused their rendition of Careful with that axe Eugene to be a truly mind-blowing experience!

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Believe it or not, Adge Cutler and the Wurzels, Worthing Connaught Theatre, very late 1960's or 1970.

They were hilarious. Tragically Mr Cutler died and they became less funny and went on to have hits.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Buzzcocks 1978. Supported by Joy Division

 

[armchairclubber]

The Chameleons @ Escape Club early 80's

[Gregory2Smith1]

Stranglers 1979

their bass player was a fellow Stranglers fan,I think that's how we got the gig in the first place,fully expected to get bottled (canned in this instance)off,but didn't
