What concerts/events have you attended?

[Dave Lobster]

I think I saw them at The Junction in Cambridge, but it could have been the Corn Exchange - fun, but TBH I thought their T-shirts were the best thing about them...cf Inspiral Carpets...

I'm tempted to wear my 'fucked up' one for Maiden..

I've still got a Carpets shirt somewhere.. MOOOO!!

Carpets were shit live. Saw them with The High as support. They were a lot better.

I don't recall going to many concerts as such, this was (mainly)the sixties remember...

Went to concerts by:
Dave Brubeck
The Beatles
Gerry & The Pacemakers, and just about every other citizen of Liverpool who could sing or play an instrument.
Gene Pitney

Yehudi Menuhin

In more recent years:
Little Feat and
Carlos Santana

There were an awful lot of great blues bands and others in pubs though, some of which may have contributed to my tinitus.

First concert was The Sweet back in '72-73 at New Plymouths' Bowl.
Also at the bowl-Split Enz,Little River Band.
Tina Turner/Jimmy Barnes (he was pissed so was good).

Never used to go to many concerts cos my hearing was so bad but -
George Thorogood at Wgtn town hall (F*ckin loud - I could hear everything with my hearing aid turned off)
After I got the cochlear implant and could hear again -
John Fogerty at the Wgtn events centre - loved every second of it.
Assorted bands performing at the Brass Monkey - most are pretty crap but Ted Clarks Backdoor Blues band were there in 1990 and they were good.
