[austrian_zeppelin]

1st big gig. Billy Idol / Sisters of Mercy playing my hometown back home in Austria (small town, the hysteria surrounding the gig was hilarious, with threats of 700 english hooligans coming over spread across the newspapers)

last gig. Metallica last night at the O2....one of the best live bands ever. FACT

[glastonburynoodles]

First gig - Housemartins, Bridlington Spa sometime in '87 I think. Had to dig that up from the archives

Last gig - The Enemy, Stone Roses Bar, York, Feb '09. Great gig in a small pub. A night I will remember for an age. The last time I saw them was playing to 30,000+ at Leeds.

First Glasto gig - Could have been Idlewild in '02. However I did get itchy feet all day and don't think I saw a complete set until the evening when I was dragged to see Faithless. But that's a whole different story

Last Glasto gig - The Verve

[beergut100]

The gig last week was my 7th king blues gig, they do come off way better live although i really like the album too, catch them at glasto this year mate

[daveinafield]

And still as good now as they were in 1980! I was talking to a bloke at the bar at Glasvegas and he loved them and had seen them several times; so horses for courses I suppose. I thought the other 3 bands were great, however!

By the way, in 1980 there was a young Irish band called U2 supporting SLF; I wonder whatever happened to them?
