I love going to concerts as many of you know!

So I was wondering who you have seen in concert and if they were any good?

My most recent one was the Pretenders with Midge Ure supporting and it was ace, it was one of those outside concerts.

Also, Rolling Stones, Stereo MC's and in my youth Terence Trent Darby:blush:

Simply Red, Elton John, Bryan Adams, Michael Jackson, Genesis. :)

Ive only been to two concerts.

One was an HSBC 'doo' which starred Robbie Williams, All Saints, Five and many others when they had just started to become famous.

The other was Bon Jovi :wub:

Yonks ago I went to see Spandau Ballet, but only cos my friend loved them, and also Imagination for the same reason.

I must admit to being a bit of an old misery guts when it comes to that sort of thing as I just hate to be surrounded by loads of people clapping and jigging about and generally enjoying themselves!

I have never been to one.

I have never been to one either, but I aim to remedy that in NZ. It's easier there as you just buy tickets in a normal music store, none of this booking months in advance via a huge agency or venue :)

This year has been a little barren for me as I have only been to a few. 2 outside concerts, the 1st one was Donny Osmond & the 2nd was Will Young (I'm seeing him again in 3 weeks). I also saw David Cassidy earlier in the year.

Billy,
Seen Durple Purple twice, had few beers with Ian Gillan well got drunk with him actually a nice bloke. :drinking: :drinking: :drinking:

Hey Taffy.
If you got drunk with Ian Gillan, that must have cost you a fortune :ohmy: That gut can sure hold is Booze. I have met him myself and like you say, hes a nice guy. I wouldn,t like to be on the wrong side of him though. Last week at a gig in Plymouth, he hit one of the bouncers over the head due to the guy getting heavy handed with some of the audience. :)

He is a great guy he thinks the world of his fans.
I've meet him three times. Twice in Rio (Brazil) back stage after a Gillan band gig we left with the cleaners a 3AM.
I invited him onboard the following nite, we exchanged postcards for a while and I meet him again in Plymouth (1996 tour) after he sent us comp tickets with a back stage pass :drinking:

I love Blink 182 Kelly, so does my step daughter who is 16, her Dad calls them a "boyband" to wind me up - and unfortunately I bite everytime :rolleyes: Miss Q has got the Evanescence CD, so we play that quite loud when her Dads out :laugh:

I was a bit bemused by the Papa Roach fans in their boiler suits and gas masks when I saw them at Reading, but when they came on stage I realised I knew and liked their music!!

My problem is, I love the music but half the time I dont have a clue who it is - I nearly missed out on Mercury Rev at Glastonbury for the same reason - but stumbled across them by chance!

Pardon !!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheeky Sod ! I am not 40 ish thank you very much, i am not even 40! i am a very trendy 36 year old. :angry:

GEEZ !!!
Ohhhhh I m sorry Bridge, but I did chuckle when I read that.......

I categorise people into music, rightly or wrongly, and it reminded me of what I said to Mr Q when our new neighbours moved in, he asked me what they were like and I said "well he looks like a Status Quo fan" and funnily enough, Mr Q knew where I was coming from......then back in the summer, they had a BBQ and so the music could be heard...I was a little disappointed as I was a little off mark in the band name, but I wasnt far off - he is in fact a SLADE fan :laugh:

Im sure sheoque meant no offense though :wink2:

Greenday
Blink 182
Papa Roach

Kelly, it's Green Day, Green Day not Greenday... :closedeye

It's o.k. i sent her an e-mail she is a very nice lady, a great laugh! i forgive her, i am not that shallow :)

I bet you really thought you had me there didn't you, but no I just quoted someone else but couldn't be arsed to use the quote tags where as if you read it, you may have worked that out, but just for you:


Greenday
Blink 182
Papa Roach

Woo yeah I'm going to see Blink in a week!

And yeah they are kinda pop-ish. They're not as punk as some of their fans think they are but hell I still like them and I don't have to justify my opinion.

And Haydon if you're around check your ****ing email. I did a design for RGT in .CSS. I was going to do it in .PHP but thought i'd try something different for a change. Had to use a javascript to get the navigation working in ie but at least it works.

Haha god that is lame, f00k is a banned word.

Yes but for someone so fastidious about band names (as you appear to be) I would've thought that it would have annoyed you to type "Greenday". Oh well.

That's the problem with appearances, they can be deceptive.

Besides pointing it out twice in one day would just be lame :blink:

Oh Kelly let's just stop all this agro and try and get on with eachother! :sleep:

I've never been that great a music fan but I have been to a few concerts in my time:

Cliff Richard - twice (my mums a fan and dragged me along as a child...no really she did have to drag me!)

Delirious? - very, very good Christian band who out sell Robbie 2 to 1 in the US!

Maroon 5 - freebie...and very good!

Generally I go to local pubs and see my friends bands or local groups perform, as quite frankly they are better than half the bands in the charts at the moment and I don't have to pay to see them!

Might be going to a Stanglers gig next month but not sure yet.

steps twice (went with mum who was a big fan)
Enrique Iglesias ( 2002 can't remember the month)
Darius (may 2003 i think)
Darren Hayes ( 15th november 2004)

dave gorman (comedian) (may 26th 2004)

Catrina and the Waves - at RAF Ruislip, I just happend to be drunk at a the bar when they were on!!

The Real Thing - ditto Catrina

The Who - who were so f....king brilliant that they have spoilt me for everyone ever! I could have cried when they came on stage - absolutely fantastic.

I went to see Electric Six last night, it was great! I only knew two songs, but hey... it was fun all the same...

Heya Dol. Where abouts do you live? Im really close to Ruislip.

Im a deprived child and have seen nobody in concert lol! However, have been in a few but never actually been in the audience :(

They are awesome - and Hughey Morgan is sooooooooooo sexy!!! Whenever I think of them I have a mental picture of me and the girls "congo-ing" round the main stage at Reading in 2001 :blush: :D

The Quo - loads of times - always great
The Moody Blues - Heck, I was a groupie for them! LOL -more times than I can recall
The Beatles - way back
The Rolling Stones

I could go on and on, mostly from back in time, but you know, the best of them all is one many will never have heard of these days, a Danish guy called Victor Borge, he had the whole audience in tears of laughter, he was a one off, and utterly brilliant!

My sister has bought all my family tickets to go and see Elton John tonight in Glasgow. Im not a big fan but I still think his songs are good and would like to see him. However, I have just heard on the news that he has cancelled the concert due to a throat infection. Checked his website and its true. So the concert isn't until Sunday 12th June 2005 :glare:

I've only been to two myself... 10 years ago I went to see Phil Collins in the Point. I was 15 at the time and the ticket cost IR£27.50... i remember my friends mum bought us the tickets and we had to pay her back 50p a week!! It was the best concert. I don't know how being 15 but we were huge fans and stood open mouthed for about 20 mintues when he came on stage! we were front row center, and I dare say we stood out being kids and everyone else was middle aged! Phil talked to us throughout the concert and gave me his drumstick in the middle of 'take me home'... after much persuasion we got him to give my friend the other one!

the other one was last year i think... went to see eminem, big fan but it was a freebee. it was a bit **** as there were thousands there!

:( He was rather polite tho.

musically I would have to a agree Marms, but a big fat PWOAAAAR at Brucie Babes - specially when he has his fencing gear on :devil:

Joni Mitchell (with The Beach Boys and others)
Neil Young
Mpeople
ABC

I was also surprised at enjoying last year's Mccartney concert

I got lost in Brighton after the last fatboy slim free concert:unsure:

The last concert I went to was Tony Hadley and Martin Fry.

I was surprised at the range of ages there (I thought they'd be mostly 30something 80s throwbacks like me :D), and it was a pretty good gig.

Oh, and Tony is still lush...:wub:

never seen anyone in concert - not a sausage. Had a chance back in school to go and watch Bez & Co. when the Happy Monday's were "performing" at the G-Mex. I'm of the old-fashioned belief that music should be heard and not seen.....I'd have gone to Woodstock though - without a doubt.....without a moment's hesitation.

I'd consider Alice Cooper and Kiss, but i can't think of anyone beyond those who I'd oblige by paying through my teeth to go and watch them......oh and Tom Petty - i'd go and see him.

Went to see Feeder last night, truly amazing. Played a few off Echo Park, which is the only Feeder album I have, and I don't know any of their other songs well, but I liked the others they played!

Isotope - Irish based jazz band. Superb. Going to see the very individual Willie Nelson this week. What a voice!

The Dave Matthews Band were in town last weekend, in Sydney Australia and I went to both concerts.

Was totally awesome and hopefully they will be back soon.

when i was much younger i went to loads of concerts including REM, Beautiful South, Levellers, Mission, the Cult, NMA, and Supergrass. I also went to Glastonbury in '94 which was amazing. Most concerts i've been to where pretty good

Had the chance to go see Hot House Flowers in the late 80's when they were big, but sadly it clashed with my trip abroad. :sad: but the guy has a great voice and i agree with you about the Micaheal Hutchence charisma.

I often see the lovely Liam cycling around dear old Dublin on his bike.
He is so yummy!
I last saw the HHF's in concert two years ago..they were mighty.
Liam is also excellent when he guests on CD's as well.
He is a really talented musician......
:whistling

and a lovely guy too !:wub:

Well I was just going off the impression you made at the Feb meet....


You didn't seem THAT old :whistling

I can now add The Bay City Rollers & David Essex to my list. I have already seen The Osmonds and David Cassidy before!

What did you think of the Bay City Rollers? Do they still wear their tartan outfits with cutoff trousers?

I thought they ok SF, I didn't actually like them back in the olden days but they certainly got the crowd going last night. It was really only Les McKeowen (the lead singer) and a backing group not the original Rollers and no they didn't wear the tartan cut off trousers!

The HHFlowers are playing one of those 'Make Poverty History' gigs tonite...
outside Leinster House.
Yay...
I am soooooooooooo going along for a gawp and a drool.
:D

Yes he must have done, as he just looked what he was like in their heyday, but older!
