what was your first ever gig you went to and the worst. and your overall favourite gig.
Worst ever is a toss between. Either queen live at elland road in 1982 or a UFO gig at the apollo utter crap.
Best was ever is a toss up to either here and now or deeply vale festival..
Oh i seem to recall watching bon jovi in the 80' just before they released their album ans they where excellent, watched them again 6months later touring the album and they where crap walked out after 30mins..
Any one rememember Saxon always blowing their sound system at the apollo when they performed 20,000ft year after year. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Where's me jumper came on random play on my phone yesterday. Truly was an awful song.
Got all nostalgic at all the mentions of International and International 2. Drove past what I thought was the International last Autumn, and it looked to be just another fruit and veg shop these days. |  | | |
