Seeing Madness this weekend at their House of Fun weekender in Minehead. Been for the last 5 years so it's standard fare, we used to go for them but now it's just an excuse for a weekend away. To be honest they look bored with it all now and they are not the same since Chaz upped and left. Still, Craig Charles is always good to dance to.

Was it a good weekend Bimbo ?

Twisted Wheel, The Enemy, Kasabian, Oasis at Heaton Park 2009 was the first gig I went to involving famous bands.

Had to discharge myself out of hospital with a fractured eye socket to go to that gig! Cant remember much of it so it must of been worth it

I'm sure it was worth it, I had a great day and my first experience of a mass outside gig was amazing to a 17 year old.

My big regret was not sneaking alcohol in and not getting pissed enough throughout the whole day.

I was sober and slightly hungover by the time Oasis came on.

first outdoor gig was Bowie at Murrayfield ... pissed down all day and he was minuscule from our view

Sex Pistols Christmas Day 1977 and I am 41! So I was....... 1.

Never got to see the full live gig they played in the evening nor obviously have any memory of the day. They played a Firemens benefit for the strike. During the day They held a party for the kids then full gig at night. I attended the party no not a gig as such but seemingly Jon Lydon came out of a giant cake singing God Save the Queen.

Last Sex Pistols ever gig.

After that it was
