What's the gig you mention you went to if you are showing off (in a nice way)

I'd say mine would be either

Judas Priest supported by iron maiden

Police on synchronicity tour

Kinks at brum odeon

Opening gig for Stone Roses in Manchester. Always been a massive fan and being surrounded by all those Indie boys was great. Sigh.

Tom Jones. I managed to successfully dodge all the flying underwear, which is pretty remarkable given I was the tallest person in the first four rows!

Yes indeedy...happened at the beginning of the show...in the first two groups..but we were unaware until the end of the day...was a bit unfortunate that Iron Maiden traditionally end their set with "Always look on the bright side of life" which was playing as we walked away.

Was quite scary actually in the crowd that day....and I was tall enough to be head and shoulders above it....the crowd would move en mass for maybe fifty feet at a time each way.

Many years ago I used to frequent a club in Soho, working in the area I was in the club Mondays Tuesdays etc. when nobody else was. I was tipped of by security that I should attend a gig by an "unknown band". Turned out to be a warm up gig for a rolling stones tour, literally feet away from the band with an audience of about 50 people.

Maybe Yes in 78 as it was my first proper gig,or Johnny Clegg & Savuka @ Town and Country Club,Kentish Town,Or Sonic Youth/Pavement at Brixton Academy Or Inner City Unit in Stevenage...I don't know,really too many to pick a "best" but maybe Patti Smith,if only because it took 30 years to actually get to see her,and Yes,she was brilliant.
