Default What was your first ever gig

Does anybody remember the 1st concert they attended? Mine was the mighty Shakin Stevens in 1981,as far as i can remember he was pretty good(was 8 at the time).I remember my mum buying me a silk cushion with his face on it.I thought i had chucked it years ago but after a 20 year loss it reappered on my wedding day and i was made to do my old moves to Green door,how bad is that

This really depends on your definition .....

First I went to Chris Tarrant's Capital Request at Wembley Arena in Sept 2002, which was a multi artist bill with Toploader, Appleton, a supergroup with members of Mike & The Mechanics (if I remember rightly), and Bon Jovi at the top of the bill

Then in November 2002 I was at Monsters Of Rock at Brighton Arena, which was again a multi artist bill, where Thunder was the main support act and Alice Cooper headlining (they were the only two I saw)

And then the week after I saw Nickelback (with Default supporting) also at the Brighton Arena

Take your pick of which was my first gig!

The all request hour, the girl in the front row has just asked for Blood on Blood, ok, Merry Christmas young lady!" Amazing <3

Bon Jovi, Halloween Night 1988. RDS Simmonscourt Arena, Dublin. I was 15, it was the greatest night of my life, and i thought Jovi where amazing. Jon was on his swing over the crowd during Never Say Goodbye. A few years later i bought Access all areas, only to hear the band say that they had sucked that night, and that "if that happens again, and i have a machine gun, Its loaded, so stay out of my way."

Thunder, in, uhm....god, can't even remember the year. Behind Closed Doors tour, so I think 95, at the Edinburgh Playhouse.

It was pretty good, but then I went to see Jovi the next year and there's never been a band to compare to them since. Always try and catch a few other gigs any non Jovi touring year though.

First gig I ever went to was Robbie Williams at Glasgow SECC. Pretty sure it was in 2000.

Loved the gig.
