What was the FIRST gig you saw?

[Menelaus]

Live Aid, 1985

[BrianSnail]

The Prodigy @ the Bournemouth International Centre, on the Fat of the Land tour in 1997.

Seems I've gone full circle...

[AlfredJPruffock]

The Who - Glasgow Apollo - 1974

[tino]

Oasis @ Loch Lomand 1996

edit in fact, no, it was Paul Weller at the Barras the year before that

[stingman123]

Guns 'N' Roses - Milton Keynes Rose Bowl ('94) - awesome.

Saw that one too, popped my proverbial GnR cherry good and proper
Saw Springsteen there the week before, excellent gig and was on stage for over 4 hours

[Lockhouse]

Thin Lizzy at Hammersmith Odeon, some time around 1977.

[Gittins Gal]

SteelEyeSpan, Loughborough, 1972.

Seems rather a long time ago now...

Wow..goes with envy.

I'm a huge Maddy fan but have never actually seen her with Steeleye.

Did see Steeleye minus Maddy at Cropredy one year and have also seen Maddy with the Carnival Band back in 2007 on their Music for Tavern and Chapel.

Do you like E?

...and as for the OP - it was a terrible outfit called The Varukers at Bridgwater Arts Centre in 1985 but I can almost guarantee that none of you would have heard of them lol....

[doodab]

Either Queen or Status Quo at Milton Keynes bowl. I was between 8 and 10 at the time. I don't really remember which came first.

[Troll]

Yes at Bingley Hall Staffs

[MarillionFan]

Marillion. Predictably.
