Now I am jealous One of the few bands a wished I had seen live, saw them a few years ago with Paul Rodgers but must have been amazing with Freddie.

Mine was Meatloaf, just to see Bat out of Hell live is worth the £50 it costs to see him.
Latest was in Feb, Kaiser Cheifs who are superb live.

Bad Manners. Special Brew can still get my foot tapping, so to speak.

 

[Ware Bears]

It was either Slade or Bay City Rollers ~ I'm showing my age twice over here!

 

[Chilly]

Mine was Five at Wembley Arena the last night of their tour in 2000 I think.

 

[Cyrano]

My first concert was Lynyrd Skynyrd, Todd Rundgren at Knebworth in 1976. I was 15 and sloped off with my older mates.
Only phoned my folks when we were half way there to say I would be gone for a couple of days

It was absolutely mad with 120,000 people

Grounded for a month but it was worth it

 

[Tinks1984]

It was The Backstreet Boys for me Oh I adored them, still do really, even though they're not about much anymore!

It was at the Manchester Apollo, tiny little theatre!

 

[Netty]

The first concert I ever attended was a Beatles one in 1965 (I think) - I was taken by my parents and sadly, I remember nothing... The first concert I do remember was David Essex in 1973, I think. It was fab and I went on to see him another 3 times...

 

[Booknut]

[tinks1983]

the first one i went to was in 2004, and i went to see the happy mondays, when they re formed, and a few others on one bill. was a good nite

 

[jackieleanne]

It was The Backstreet Boys for me Oh I adored them, still do really, even though they're not about much anymore!

It was at the Manchester Apollo, tiny little theatre!

I saw Backstreet Boys to but at the MEN for the Millenium tour. They were amazing.

My first concert thought was the Spice Girls.

 

[Jonjo]

My first concert was Queen's Live Magic tour at Wembley Stadium in 1986 - best concert I have ever seen. Still got the t-shirt, very faded and way too small for me now;-)

Others I can remember
Michael Jackson, The Monkees, Alexander O'Neal, Bucks Fizz, Cliff Richard, Bananarama, Jason Donovan.

 

[mushumadness]

Now I am jealous One of the few bands a wished I had seen live, saw them a few years ago with Paul Rodgers but must have been amazing with Freddie.

Wayne, Queen were the first band I ever saw and, despite having seen literally hundreds of bands since, still the best. We went on to see them a further 10 times over the years including their last ever gig at Knebworth.
Freddie had something that you can't define, he only had to walk on stage for the crowd to go mad.

Saw the Paul Rodgers thing a few years ago as well. I actually thought he did a great job and it's fun to sing along to all those famous Queen hits again.

I went to see Adam and the Ants at the Apollo Theatre in Manchester.
I was about 14 at the time, myself and a group of friends dressed up in our frilly shirts and pantaloons and painted a white stripe across our faces
