Last: Manic Street Preachers, around 1997 I think, in the Riviera Madrid. So long ago!
Best: Pulp at Glasto 95. "COMMON! PEOPLE! COMMON! PEOPLE! COMMON! PEOPLE!" etc.
Loudest: Half Man Half Biscuit. I had my head stuck in one of the PA speakers for some of the night.
Worst: Menswe@r, Brighton around 1994/5. They got rightly barracked by the crowd, they were already unravelling.
Most fun: Half Man Half Biscuit, Stow Hill Labour Club, Newport. 86 I think.
Most surprising: The Janitors, Sugarhouse Lancaster in 88 or 89. I wasn't sure what to expect and loved it.
Most seen: Gene, 3 times.
Next: Not sure.
Wish I had Seen: David Byrne on his latest tour.
Craziest: Half Man Half Biscuit.
My feedback thread is here.
First concert - Whitesnake, Glasgow Apollo 1980, Gary Moore supporting. Three Bursts!!!
Last concert- Paul McCartney.
Best concert - Rolling Stones, Glasgow Apollo 1982
Loudest concert - Rainbow, Edinburgh Playhouse 1984, was directly in front of PA on RB's side of the stage, absolutely deafening.
Worst concert - Bruce Hornsby & The Range, Glasgow Barrowlands. Dull beyond belief. Extreme Pornograffiti tour at the Edinburgh Playhouse, Gary Cherone's outfit, stage moves and patter were beyond cringeworthy. UFO at Glasgow Barrowlands on Michael Schenker's last tour. MS had been battered by Spike at a previous gig & was sporting a black eye. He was totally wasted and barely interested in playing, total shambles.
Seen the most - Whitesnake
Most fun concert - Deep Purple, Knebworth 1985. Camping in torrential rain.
Most Surprising concert - Barry Manilow, not my cup of tea at all but went along with the Mrs. Was cheesy as expected but I couldn't help being impressed by him as a performer, a total pro, had all the old biddies totally spellbound and can't half belt out a tune.
Next concert - Ozzy Osbourne / Judas Priest, already been cancelled twice, first time was the day after I bought the tickets as a present for my Mrs.
Wish I had seen - Led Zeppelin, just a bit too young to have seen them, caught Page & Plant a couple of times and saw Plant's first solo tour and JP with Aerosmith at Donington.
Craziest concert - The Damned in the club above Glasgow Apollo, Captain Sensible caught a full pint in the face before a note was played. To his credit he just plugged in and battered on with the gig. whole night was pint tumblers and gob flying everywhere.
Saw PIL at the Barrowlands, they walked off when John Lydon was hit in the face with a quarter bottle of whisky. Was during the encore so evening wasn't a total waste. John McGeoch was outstanding on guitar.
Angelic Upstarts at Newcastle Academy 30th Anniversary of Punk gig, Mensi ranting he was the hardest guy in the building, 48 and he could take any one of us, cue the inevitable full pint square in the face. He was helped off stage by a roadie and never seen again, set over after one song, which was a real shame as it was excellent.
First concert - Hawkwind, mid 70s
Last concert- Yazz Ahmed, Guild Hall School of music venue near Barbican
Best concert - really don't know
Loudest concert - probably Stiff Little Fingers, Edinburgh Playhouse 1981ish
Worst concert - hard to say, maybe last time I saw Hawkwind very early 80s, they just weren't bothered, Calexico & Iron & Wine last year, too much middle of the road harmonies stuff, Calexico better on their own with big band.
Seen the most - Hawkwind, Hamish Moore, Chuck Prophet?
Most fun concert - I'm not really a fun person
Most Surprising concert - Maybe Black Diamond Heavies (Mark Holder the Guitarist was still with them) utterly excellent. Maybe re-formed Green on Red at Astoria, I thought I'd be disappointed, but they were great. First Aid Kit, thought they'd be good, they were way better & the two backing musicians were brilliant- I even enjoyed the drum solo.
Next concert - Nothing booked
Wish I had seen - Too many to list probably, wish I'd been to the Neil Young gig ICBM went to
First concert - Status Quo, 1984 End Of The Road Tour, Dundee Caird Hall. I was 9 at the time!
Last concert- Alice Cooper/Stranglers/MC50 - Aberdeen P&J last year
Best concert - Status Quo - Frantic Four Reunion Glasgow 2013. Any Dan Baird & Homemade Sin gig comes in a close second
Loudest concert - Groundhogs circa 2003 in a Dundee pub. They thought they'd booked Tony for a solo acoustic gig, but he showed up with a full band. Crazy loud, but great at the same time!
Worst concert - Transglobal Underground supporting Jimmy Page & Robert Plant in 1998. 1 hour of my life I'm never getting back. I was driving so couldn't even have a drink to take the sting off it!
Seen the most - Status Quo or the 90's-2000's Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Most fun concert - Slade 2018, we took my daughter there as a surprise as she really likes their music (not just the xmas song btw!). A massive sing-along from start to finish
Most Surprising concert - Peter Frampton supporting Deep Purple around 2004. He was fantastic.
Next concert - Mick Fleetwood's Tribute to Peter Green concert in London
Wish I had seen - Rory Gallagher
Most Disappointing Band - Sorry, added this category. This goes to Thunder, they've got a fair reputation as a live act. I however found them exceptionally dull to the point of average.

Now, every time PG tours I just live in fear of catching ebola or something!
