came close to bagging a ticket for the Stevie Wonder/Songs in the Key gig yesterday, but didnt, and am feeling really sad about it still today...wasnt expecting to feel that but its now become a bucket list thing to see him....really gutted not to have been there. Kill All Touts.

Apart from a couple of interruptions (Covid and a few years of mental illness) I usually see 2-4 gigs a month plus festivals (I’d do more than that if anyone decent’s in town). So I’m 53 and started going to gigs in my teen years. Ball park? 400-500. Mainly punk and metal/hard rock.

Most memorable for me was the first gig Black Crowes played in the UK on the Shake Your Money Maker tour at the old Marquee club on Wardour Street. Actually now i think about it i was actually at GnR’s first gig at the same venue.

 

[William of Walworth]

As an early post went in this thread, far too many seen-live bandnames to list, or even remember ....

I blame so many years living in London, and even more years festographising!

I'm contemplating some sort of an attempt though .... give me a few weeks .....

Madness
The Specials
The Belle Stars
