Great question if you’re out for Sinner with a group of people…

Mine was a band called Carter USM, not many people remember them.

What was yours?

Probably one of the Proms at the Albert Hall in the 1960s.

Since then, the word 'concert' got hijacked by the rock/pop industry.

Still, anything is better than that ghastly word 'gig'

I went to his show with my Nan when I was 30 and she was 70. We were both too old for him so we were safe to go. Got dressed up though and wore a silver suit and wig. It was a terrific show.

Ah, they weren't good. Poppy middle of the road stuff that appealed to normies. I went because it was in freshers week and it was a party.

We didn't get any international bands worth spit in SA because of the cultural boycott for being the Bad Guys.

Ooh. Another one, but isn't that technically a ballet unless they only had the tunes and not the dancing?

Technically correct but there was a shortish intro by the pit orchestra. I can't remember what they played. We were right in the gods and could barely see a thing.

I remember going to that one.

I don't remember any of the music because I, as well as many others, fell asleep a number of times during the performance!

First real heavy band I saw was Black Sabbath supported by Budgie at the old Liverpool Stadium 1972-ish. It usually held boxing/wresting contests, so the was a boxing ring in the middle.
