Yeah, I've seen a few before they got big but before anyone knew them? They would have been in the NME or Melody Maker and on John Peel or the Evening Session.

I missed this as I was working a night shift at the time but my brother invited me out for a couple of drinks and to watch a singer. That singer had 12 people watching him in a little venue in Liverpool. Three weeks later he was played on radio and the rest is history.

One of my biggest regrets ever was turning down the chance to see an unknown female singer at my university students union. Tickets were only £4 and it was an acoustic guitar set. I said no to my mate because I’d never heard of her.

It was Amy Winehouse before her debut album came out.

"Cradle of Filth.....Before make up. They were only 17"

A long long time ago I was around several bands and their members, cradle of filth being one of them they drank in the same pub's as me and my friends I also worked with the (then) front man from my dying bride and I'm still mates with their drummer, I also knew evile before they made it well their original bassist before he sadly passed away on tour, their current bassist is also a very good acquaintance of mine, having said all of that I've never actually seen my dying bride or evile perform live as their complete band's and have only COF at download. Kinda madness when you think about it.

Mine also was Radiohead at the Fleece in Bristol . All I knew about them was the photo of the band that was in a local listings magazine.

When to see them purely on the strength of the photo and band name.

Also watched The Killers in a small tent at a festival. A couple of weeks or so later Mr Brightside was released….

Think I saw her even before that, when she was just starting out by herself she did a couple of guest vocals tracks with another band from the West Country called The Family Cat in the early 90’s and fairly sure she sang on their first tour with them

I remember The Family Cat but wasn't a fan. I didn't know of the PJ Harvey link. I've checked the date of the Hull gig and it was 27 October 1991 so before the release of the 1st single. I'm sure they'd done a Peel session and I think he'd possibly also played the single Dress presumably as a pre-release. It was a strange bill as Leatherface and P J Harvey were very different bands, but I enjoyed both.

I saw Kiss in their less popular period at the Manchester apollo, a very small venue for them.

The support band sounded quite melodic & rather loud, so I left the merchandise queue & joined the couple of hundred people in front of the stage. I wrote a review for my school magazine, saying they could be a popular singles band.

History wrote itself afterwards for Bon Jovi.

U2 was very well known in Irleand only as a gigging band in 1980 and their gigs were excellent.

What you saw in Lincoln was the start of their international breakout, and very rare.
