Hmmm, im informed by my mother that she took me to a few festivals in Plymouth when I was really young and saw Big Country and a few others that she doesn't remember.

First proper gig I went to though was Robbie Williams in 1997 at Exeter Westpoint. I got a free ticket, so thought why not, and to be fair, enjoyed it.

Last single gig I went to was the Kooks last year at Plymouth Pavilions which was excellent, but ive been to Reading Festival since, so if that counts, last band I saw was Metallica

Not been to Glasto yet.

[kohoutec]

Hmmmm. First was Anthrax at Bristol Colston Hall in either 86 or 87.

Last was Sigur Ros in Portsmouth a couple of months ago.

Next is Elbow in Plymouth, 10 days and counting

God knows who the first band I saw at Glastonbury was, but the one that sticks in my mind was The Levellers at my first Glasto in 92. Last was Manu Chao on the Jazz stage last year
