Mine was Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich. Somewhere in a field in Cornwall, 1968.
Christ.....seems like another life. But I am still here.

Pink Floyd at the Marlowe Theatre Canterbury on the Saucerful of Secrets tour was the first concert I attended (it was a cultural school outing, taken by a young graduate doing work experience after leaving University, he needed very little convincing to sell it to the headmaster :smile:). It was a complete hashfest in there too, which was nice for an 18 year old in 1969

You are a year younger than me then. Good getting old isn't it.!!

Cast, supporting Weezer at the Leeds Irish Centre, 1995.

Also my first (underage) pint of lager - Carling Black Label, as I recall.

Haha! Mine was Cast supporting U2 in Roundhay Park, Leeds, 1997.
They played 'flying' during a thunderstorm, was amazing!

Never thought I would end up living here.

First with mates was Foo Fighters at Brixton Academy - December 2000. That was tasty.

Magnum at Eastbourne Winter Gardens. I had seen Dumpys Rusty Nuts prior to this but this was more a pub gig than a proper concert.

Probably at The Pilgrim, Haywards Heath, 1966 or so underage drinking. Maybe The Motion, Johnny Fine and the Ramblers or Robb Storme and the Whispers.

Or perhaps The Beach Boys 1966/67. Saw them 3 times: Tooting Granada, Hammersmith Odeon and Finsbury Park Astoria. Mike Love was. moaning in one about their record company putting out 'Then I Kissed her' as a single.

No. The Small Faces when Sha La La La Lee was almost top of the charts at the legendary Downs Hotel, Hassocks of all places. Beginning of 1966.
