Your first ever concert?

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Green Day, Brighton Centre, 2005

 

[BN9 BHA]

Yeah, I saw this line up, but thought it was early 80s. Robert Smith played guitar for both bands.

October 79

 

[moggy]

Psychedelic furs.......early 80s

 

[chimneys]

Kraftwerk. The Dome. 1981. Made quite an impression on a 14 year old!

 

[Machiavelli]

I must be older than you then,I saw The Cure support Siouxie & The Banshees in 1979

I'd imagine it was a good one. I might have been wrong on the date, might have been 1983, The Top tour (one of their worst albums). Went on to see them ten times, I think all of them were in the 1980s.

 

[ExmouthExile]

Boomtown Rats at Bristol Colston Hall, 1980ish

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Psychedelic furs.......early 80s

At The Dome? Good gig, that.

 

[Cosmic Joker]

Marillion, Brighton Centre 1985 - not very cool but I enjoyed it at the time

Motorhead, Worthing Assembly Hall. Rock'n'Roll Tour 1987. Met Lemmy and the band before the gig. Awesome night and still deaf

I was at that one, also thought it was a great gig. Wasn't that the one where some **** near the front threw a pint of beer over Lemmy. He was not happy to say the least and stopped the gig until the bouncers had removed the offender from the hall.

 

[The Modfather]

The Jam - Bton Centre 5/11/1980

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Rather improbably, Bowie at Worthing Assembly Hall in c.1972.

 

[spellfast]

The strawbs at the dome c1973

 

[Beezer]

The Skids at the Top Rank ('79?) and The Specials later the same week, same venue.
OMG I'm old.....

I,m sure the skids came to my school before this gig and played a couple of tracks including TV stars(Albert tatlock )

Yeah. I remember that and Phil Campbell gesticulating to the guy to go backstage. I bet he didn't take him up on it........

Ha. I was at this gig but it was far from my first. In fact I'd seen Marillion on the first leg of the Misplaced tour at Hammersmith. I saw pretty much every rock band you can name during the mid-80s....fun times.

My first proper gig was Magnum at Eastbourne Winter Gardens. And I've been going to gigs regularly ever since. Over 30 years later and this year I currently have 23 gigs attended or line up in 2015 already.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

U2 top rank 82ish

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

The Levellers for me c1997 at Brighton Centre

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

The strawbs at the dome c1973

I think Marillion was on a Sunday night and, when they started to play the whole of Misplaced Childhood I sat up against the wall of the Brighton Centre and fell asleep. If the Magnum gig was touring 'On a Storyteller's Night' it was on cup final day 1985. The friends I went with insisted on leaving to go to the gig before the game finished, so we missed the Moran sending off and extra time.. I was annoyed until I found out Whiteside scored, one of my least favourite players ever.

My first gig was at the Centre for Thin Lizzy's farewell tour in 1983.
