owo1-man Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 My own best remembered one was the IOW in 1970, oh yes I'm that old, 5 day's of everything and still send's a shiver down my spine recalling what we all got away with ! Been a few good one's since then but nothing to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Went to the NEC to watch ELO play their home town for the first time many moons ago. Rainbow were the support group! Fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgguinness Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Went to Live8 in Hyde Park, was great. Texted into Radio 1 and won tickets to go. Had to pull a sicky at work but well worth it. Also saw Kings Of Leon at the Stadium of light, that was a cracking gig too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huds78 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Got a call off my Mate one Monday evening asking me what I was up to the following evening and when I replied nought he told me he had won priority passes to see the Manic Street Preachers with free beer and did I fancy it as his Mrs had been called into work ! Oh yes ! it was around the time they had bought out the Everything Must Go album so was a great night in a small venue as well. I'm a big OCS fan as well and have seen them around 5 times as well best time being around the Mosley Shoals album release some great material on that one. See Oasis playing one of the last gigs played at the old Wembley and tbh it was too big a venue for my liking I would much rather a small intimate venue.

Fisherman Mike Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Rollin stones at Wembley 82, Marley at Hammersmith 76,( I'm afraid I was stoned through passive smoking of the weed !!) Live Aid in Hyde Park ( Met my first wife there in the crowd !) but the most memorable was the Queen tribute concert again at Wembley.. Bowie played sax on Motts Ian Hunters "All the young Dudes" May did what he does best.. and Bowie again with Annie Lennox for " Under Pressure" simply sensational. The place hadn't rocked so much since 66. Saw the Foos and The RHCP's too, Bad Company, Dianna Ross, Blur, Nirvana, Wings, XTC, Tears for Fears, Santana, Genesis, Mike and The Mechanics ( Paul Young era) Alice Cooper, Bowie again, Paul Simon, Jackson Brown and Robert Cray, Bowie again.. Also Glastonbury ....6 times on the trot when I was young and foolish and a few others including I hate to admit......Michael Jackson ( Manchester), Elton Bog (Watford), Steps, Girls Aloud and Garry Glitter...

Jammy ***. The best concert I saw, for sheer musical talent, was Bert Weedon live a few years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feaks Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Bowie at MK 1990(?). Excellent. Until a few years ago I always said Gary Glitter was the best for the way the crowd was bouncing and for value. Oh well best keep that quiet.
