That proves that Scotsboy is in no way a sectarian bigot if he went to a U2 & Waterboys Gig:Razz :Razz

I was at a pink Floyd concert at "sporting e Lisboa" stadium in Lisbon...God knows when.....over 10 years ago....and I almost got one drum stick, but was pushed and dropped/had it torn from my hand....... still, excellent concert. I miss those days.

[landmarker]

The 'Indigo Girls' - at Manchester Boardwalk c. 1993. Stood so close to the girls they shook our hands at the end and said 'thanks for comin' The 300 or so in the venue included many American fans , following the band on their UK tour - in the States they played mainly five and ten thousand seaters at that time.

Most intimate gig ever, save for a Kate Rusby concert atop a Tunstall pub in '99.

I wonder what the Indigo Girls are doing now?

Paul Weller in the Barrowlands he's brilliant Dont like the Secc its too big and impersonel:grin:

The barrowlands has the best atmosphere, all the gigs I've been to have been great there.

[brokencross]

Went to see Mike Oldfield at Wembly Arena. First half of show not very good, was promoting Hergest Ridge and didn't really know the stuff, however 2nd half of the show he performed Tubular Bells. Absolutely superb, he really does play all the instruments, had us all up in the aisles and as a little bonus the girl I was with knew his then girl friend and after the show we went backstage met Mike Oldfield and shared a drink with the band.

[alZir]

Gotta be Jerry Lee Lewis' last UK tour in '72. Saw him in Coventry on what must have been a 'good night; for the killer. He danced on his piano...we danced in the aisles.
Followed closely by The Who in a Mecca Ballroom in '65.

BTW.......I'm old enough, and lucky enough to have seen the Stones second on the bill.

Proclaimers had just released Sunshine on Leith,they started to do a tour of all the town halls around Scotland.Ayr Town Hall was the venue and the place was absolutely jumping.£5 for 2 and a half hours of pure enjoyment.Still to this day when I hear "..and I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more,just to be the man who'd walk a 1000miles to walk inside your door.......everybody...Daaaaa laaaa laaaa laaaaaaaaaaaa.....daaaa laaaaa laaaa laaaaaaaa....da la lum dil li lum di li la la laaaaaaaaa........".What a night it was and good memories.:lol:

[scotsboy]

That was the one Lensman, squad of us went down in a mini-bus from Thurso Youth Club. (actually think it may have been 1977, but could have been 78)

Thin Lizzy in Cornwall (St Austell, Cornwall Coliseum) were fantastic only disappointment was that Phil Lynott refused to play Whiskey in the Jar

[porshiepoo]

Roachford! Absolute tosh! :mad:

[tillygirl]

Saw Runrig and loads of other bands at their Midsummer gig at Balloch in the early 90s. Was absolutely brilliant. I think they were the first to do such a big outdoor music gig...

[jings00]

Seen Hawkwind a good few years ago, in Edinburgh, wis magic.
So was Fish and Dr Feelgood in Aberdeen, also a good few years ago.
