What was the first gig you went to?

[Ultraconsultancy]

I saw The Corries with my Mum when I was eight or so.

First real gig was Hawkwind, Choose your Masques tour, Aberdeen, October 1981!

Never looked back since...

[dulwichmum]

In Tua Nua 1985. And to think I just adored the lead singer's jumper in the "Somebody to love" video... Remember this Sean?

[strawberrygail]

Simple Minds and Hue & Cry, Pavilion Theatre, Glasgow 1987

[Nero]

DoA were my second, at the Apollo in 84 or 85. I love early DoA, Chav - Misty Circles, Black Leather etc! Nero

[SeanMacGabhann]

Certainly do DM! and to not put too fine a point on it I remember liking more than the jumper

[Keef]

Think it was 1991, Ozzy Osbourne up in Manchester (Brixton was sold out). It was the "Theatre of madness tour" to follow up the "No more tears" album. Of course, he was a proper rock God back then, rather than a reality TV star.

[MrBen]

Bucks Fizz, Edinburgh Playhouse, July 1982.

Quie proud of that.

I saw them the night of their coach crash a Newcastle...saw them about 4 times in all! Obsessed, but not in a stalker way, with Jay...SIGH!!!!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I'm not sure ED is ready for true confessions. Go away and hide your dirty little secret boys.

[annaj]

Oh, Bucks Fizz!

I forgot them. I saw them at the Cornwall Coliseum in 1983.

Classic 80s holiday. Got up in the early hours to leave for Cornwall - you know, because it's sooo far away. Slept in the back of the Volvo estate with the seats folded down. Woken on the M4 by the suitcases falling of the roof rack. Nagged our parents all week to take us to see Bucks Fizz and were told no, then dad suprised us on the last night of the holiday.

Happy memories :))

Peckhamgatecrasher - do you mean Steeleye Span? Cool!

[SeanMacGabhann]

"Jay Aston... Jay ASTON... let me tell YOU about.... JAY ASTON!!!"

(if anyone knows where that quote is from there is a drink in it)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

It was Maddy Prior with remnants of Steeleye Span. Really good concert - such a beautiful voice.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

I forgot I saw Maddy Prior once, but it was a couple of years after Dead or Alive. My mum got the tickets and we sat right in the front. Her voice was amazing and the hairs on the back of my neck were standing on end all night.

[Carrie]

The Police Hammersmith Odeon 1979
