[Music] If you could be AVOID the front row at any gig in history, which would it be?

1. The 1969 Rolling Stones gig at Altamont. Crowd 'management' by Hells Angels, resulting in a murder.

2. Any Duran Duran gig. Murder by talentless noise.

Wham at the Brighton Centre in 1982 was MURDER , I got hit FLUSH on my head by a SHUTTLECOCK flung at me by George Michael. I'm sure that he did it deliberately

Any Bowie gig.

[Thunder Bolt]

Any live comedian.

I went to that gig. Surprisingly good.

Any gig at a comedy club. Just makes you a sitting duck.

Not at the improv night at the Comedy Store, Leicester Sq. on a Wednesday evening - If you ever want a top night out - then I'd heartily
recommend.

Chippendales....

Al Murray - he basically seems to talk to the whole of the front row - pressure to be funny is, well, not fun!

 

[Mr Bridger]

Any live comedian.

This, never again.

Chuffed when I got front row Frankie Boyle tickets, regretted ever since. Took my new girlfriend ( now wife) and was dug out throughout the show on how I was punching above my weight.

Any Barry Manilow concert. I go as far to say I'd have a ticket in the row behind the back row!!

You've not really read OP's opening question really, have you? Y'know, the bit about being in the front row?

Manchester Palace 1977 Hawkwind Spirit of the Age Tour had a half time break while the Manchester Hell Angels Chapter took on the Security.

Thankfully I was with the rest of the spotty 16 year olds that had made the journey from Cheshire up in the Circle.

Seem to remember there was a certain whiff about them - Originals?

 

[Mellotron]

Any Bowie gig.

Honestly.

Dare I ask why.....?

15 February 1992 in Paris - the 5 Nations gig between France and England. Leonard, Moore and Probyn destroyed the french front row both psychologically and technically. Leading to an array of head butts, eye gouging and kicks. Two french front rowers received red cards. A front row to avoid.

I accept he was innovative, an artist and a performer of great esteem, I just can't stand his music.
