How long have you got. Most of the above. Saw the Roxy with Eno gig at the Dome as well, plus Marley at the Centre.

Great artists
Stevie Wonder
Springsteen, but only at Wembley
The Who, Charlton '76; still the loudest ever gig in the UK, I believe
Bowie
The Clash
The Jam

Great gigs
The Two-Tone Tour at the Top Rank in 79 (Specials/Madness/Selecter)
The Original Five Live Stiffs Tour
Slade/Thin Lizzy/Suzi Quatro Top Rank in 72/73
Tom Robinson Band playing to about 20 people some time in 1977 just as punk/new wave was really taking off.

Have to say, I wasn't particularly a fan before I went to see them at Wembley, but they were fantastic.
