Popular Post northsouthdevide Posted May 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2020 The longest gig I ever went to was Bruce Springsteen at Wembley and Leeds. The shortest was the smiths at Liverpool. As soon as Morrissy walked on the stage, he was hit on the head by a flying bottle, and walked straight back off, never to return. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a young airman, 64/65 time, we used to go to the one night stands at the Adelphi in Slough and saw most of the names on the go at the time. The California in Dunstable was also another popular venue and was stood next to Tom Jones one night at the bar. I had an aunt in London and a couple of times went with my cousin to a club in Wardour Street, normally jazz but "Blues" on a Sunday afternoon, Marquee?, saw the Stones there before they hit the big time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was 40-ish he got to see The Scorpions, probably at Oakland Coliseum. Afterwards he announced his retirement: "I saw the Scorpions, it was like a religious experience, you can't top that, no more concerts for me." I got the impression he realized that he and the missus were in the top 5 percent of the eldest people present and it made him uncomfortable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Monday Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Pretty sure my first concert was at the Oakland Coliseum. The band was E L O, mixing rock and roll with strings. I went with my friend, and his mom. The band appeared in a flying saucer shaped stage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
