Oh Jesus I can't remember.

I remember seeing loads of utterly crap local bands in the 80s; there was a legendary song that some local nutter had written called "The Motorbike Song" and they all seemed to have their own cover version of it. No big names for sure. Nor medium nor small, either.

Then there was Metallica in full-on puppet-show mode. And I'm certain there was stuff in-between but I've no idea what.

First band I saw was Runrig, with someones spare ticket. First ticket I bought was for Eurythmics.

... Chris De Burgh is also on my list of shame.

First proper-proper gig that i was about to attend was Ozzy O. But f**ker crashed himself on that quad. I learned about that accident and cancelation of gig when i was about to buy ticket. I was when frigdes and washing machines weren't on-line. But i can't remeber my first proper gig. Probably some dogdy Polish hip-hop as i went to graffiti jam, probalby 1999-2000. I rember that i left place, as i was so boring. But it was proper gig, profesional putside stage, lights and sound.

Iron Maiden at the Rainbow Theatre end of 1980 and it was recorded as a video that was on the YouTube thing but only bits now so;
