Your very first gig 08:34 - Dec 18 with 15387 viewsMonahoop

Keeping in tune with the recent spate of great music threads here, what was was your very first gig you went to. This does not include watching your fellow spotty teenage mates' band playing ' Wild Thing' and the like in a local Sally Ann hall or such venue.

Mine:- Slade at Brighton's old Goldstone ground in the summer of 1975. I was 14 at the time. They were so loud they nearly shook that place off its foundations. No wonder it began to fall down gradually afterwards.

There aint half been some clever bastards.

Soul to Soul at Wembley Arena only because my Girlfriend at the time loved them and bought tickets. I've never really been a gig man, or even a record buying man tbh. .
I'm a listener not a follower.
Last gig I went to was Oasis at Knebworth. We walked out way before the lads came on .But to be fair that was because my mate had left an 'Enery back at the Motel.
'What do you recon ,shall we go back?''
''F'ck Yeah.''

There is not a Lancastrian Musician or Music journalist alive today, who didn't have their mind blown at the Free Trade Hall gig. Every single one of the fuc kers was there.

I'll see your Luther Vandross and raise you Simply Red at Wembley Arena. My Mate's Dad ran the social club at his work and used to organise trips to concerts (Simply Red at Wembley Arena isn't a "gig", is it?). I was about fourteen, got absolutely battered on about 2 cans of Stella on the way there and threw-up in the khazis. Bought a really shi t t-shirt which was about eight sizes too big for me, and never got worn. I blame the booze. Good times. It would have been Bruce Springsteen at Wembley, but we were on holiday in Yarmouth, so I had to let my ticket go and spent the week sulking in a caravan instead.

First gig that I went to under my own steam was Stone Roses at Ally Pally in 89. Great event, shi t gig.

Queen, Wembley Arena, 8th Dec 1980. Ticket was only £4!

Always remember the date as it was the same day John Lennon died.

Madness at Hammy Odeon 1981. 4 of us got cornered on the platform by about 25 local mods at Harrow on the way home, I have never been so glad to see a train full of 400 skinheads before or since. Them local mods got stomped. Heady days.

The Bromley court has not changed much- if you called in there now you would think you had just stepped out of your tardis and expect a load of 60s blues exposion kids to pitch up.

Strange venue,and yet it was one of the places where"it all started".
Saw Jimi Hendrix and Cream down there.

Hawkwind, under the Westway must have been sometime in the very early seventies.

Thought it was a right load of hippy bollux, with an awful lot of very out of it people laid out by the "medical" folks.

Author Michael Moorcock turned up to read some of his words over one of the numbers.

Thing was it was just another Saturday wandering up and down the 'bello.

First proper gig I recollect was Alice Cooper (with Roxy Music as a support) at the Empire Pool as it was in those days.

It was the summer of Schools out and the press baying for him to be banned from the country. Thought the band, music and theatrics were ace. Thought Roxy Music were a bunch of Art School pricks.

The Clash at the Lyceum, 18th October 1981. Was easy to find the date as we actually played away to Orient with a Sunday, late morning kick off for some reason with the match ending 1-1. Think the ticket for The Clash cost a fiver and to date the bar they set for a live performance that night for me has yet to be exceeded. Managed to get right to the front. Three hour gig with them splitting their set in two to allow some rapper to perform in between spraying the back drop. Fantastic night as a 15 year old.

I suppose it would be my Dad's band (Skin Alley) at The Roundhouse when I was about 5.
I just about remember being there and seeing this huge cardboard mouse wheeled on stage.
I have no memory of it and was probably asleep!





My first proper gig was Ian Drury & The Blockheads at the Hammersmith Odeon when I was about 11/12 years old.
