Queen at Elland Road - was there too. Teardrop Explodes was a strange choice to say the least......The other support band was INXS i recall, so not bad.

An iconic concert for me - Freddie Mercury tribute at Wembley.

The Prodigy at Manchester Academy circa 92

Remember being at that one. Saw them a few years earlier do a PA at Hippos in Middleton aswell.
Three that stick in my mind are
AC/DC Apollo in 1982
Sister Sledge at the Davenport must of been mid 80s
Oasis at Roseland ballroom New York 1995

oh and Spike Island not that memorable really but glad i was there

Had to check, but Bowie played 4 days later. Wasn't a great venue if I recall, a bit like a large warehouse!

Saw Bowie there , your right , terrible venue miles from anywhere, it was Bowie so it didn’t really matter then

Dire straits at Maine rd 1992 I think, top day.

 

[WestGorton]

Spike Island and Led Zeppelin at Knebworth. I thought both were shit days but at least I can say I was there. The Smiths at Salford University in 1986 however was the greatest.
