The Who, Worthing Assembly Hall. Summer 1971, can't remember the exact date, but it was the warm-up gig for the tour to promote "Who's Next".

Wow !

Huey Lewis and The News, Brighton Centre. I'd guess at about 1986ish.

The first and still the best.

I saw Blur a few times, Milton Keynes Bowl and also at the Paradox in about 95, it was a secret gig and I amanged to get a ticket off a tout for £30, only about 200 people there.

One for the ageing hippies on NSC: Led Zeppelin, Earls Court - May 1975.

Not a bad choice for a first major gig.

Can't be sure exactly. But was heavily into Motown back in the day and there was a series of Motown 'acts' at the Dome in the early seventies.

It was one of:

The Supremes
Stevie Wonder
The Temptations
Four Tops
