Oasis at Loch Lomond '96 at the tender age of 13 under the care of my big sister who went on to lose me and miss the bus home but it was all good fun!

I would like to see the Rolling Stones again but I refuse to pay what they are asking for tickets now. I say them in 99 and it was about £50 which you can justify but now it's £150 + it's just crazy.

Led Zepplin would be a must see for me and Guns n Roses but 15 years ago if that's possible!

AC/DC best rock and roll band ever.

Have seen most of the big bands in my bucket list.

However Pink FLoyd with Roger Waters would be a dream come true.

Best live band probably either Queen or AC/DC

Aerosmith were not bad

Bon Jovi 6 times get worse as they get older

Deep Purple in the 70/s and then again in the 2000's 2 good gigs.

U2 a couple of times

The list goes on

Bowie Ziggy Stardust farewell tour in Greens Playhouse a hundred yrs before it was the Apollo and Led Zeppelin a while later.

Fish was well named.

Anyone know his real name.

Derek William Dick

With a name like that I would drink like a Fish too.

Seen him a few times.

Someone said Slik. Took drumming lessons from their drumer Kenny Hyslop, who went on to play for Simple Minds and back again with Midge Ure,
