Was at that Who gig....but me ticket stub says King's Hall. And it was £1.00!

 

[DruntBlunt]

Oh, and Led Zeppelin ....knebworth Park 79

Was there as well. One of the last gigs with Bonham and something I'll remember for life. Yes in Oslo some 8-9 years ago, and Iggy sometime back in the eighties. And of course all the Roskilde festivals I've been to - great fun, cant remember much though.

[beatmiester]

Too many to list but if I had to pick just one then The Smiths at Maxwell Hall Salford in '86 would have to be it.

Meatloaf. Outstanding .

Jacko incredible

Madonna awesome.

 

[peoffrey]

Meatloaf. Outstanding .

Has Meatloaf been put in the "celebs you recognise by one name" thread yet?!

This morning I remembered The Courteeners at Brixton Academy. Liam Fray did a short solo set in the middle and had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand. It's a shame I'm going to miss their big gig at The MuEN Arena on the derby weekend.
