Would have been next year to see ELO's last concert in Hyde Park but alas tickets were all sold out before my pension money arrived.

I took my Missus to see Adele in Melbourne, I know, I know. A round trip of 21,126 miles. I know, you wouldn’t travel to the end of your garden.
Hopefully she ‘repaid’ you, and you got Adelaide that night.

You’ve not met my Missus. She could set fire to the rain.
I saw Mick Jagger on his solo tour in Sydney.
Free ticket, as well.

Seeing as the aforementioned Eras Tour gig in Vienna got cancelled, I'll have to say the Eras Tour in Edinburgh instead.
Which was bloody BRILLIANT.

Furthest is probably to Liseberg in Sweden to see The Rasmus many moons ago.
Stupidest is probably Pitlochry to London to see Queen a couple of years ago as I double booked myself with a family holiday, wife wasn't too happy to be in Scotland with the kids while I popped back down south for the gig.

Back from seeing three back-to-back David Gilmour shows at MSG in NYC. Superb.
Also, didn't realise that there's an ice rink permanently under the boards on the floor...thought it wasn't too warm! Only found that out when, after the third of the three shows they had to load out, only to load back in and set up again three days later, as there was an ice hockey match on the first of the two days, then a basketball match, before returning to gig format. Incredible to be able to turn it around to such different things so quickly. Good venue too. It was my third time travelling from Brighton to NYC for concerts.
