Surely that would be later. Transvision Vamp must have been 1989 or 1990. I remember thinking the support bands (and I think there may have been another) were awful. I'd have quite liked Daisy Chainsaw. Edit - a bit of google suggests it was October 23rd 1989. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Used to be known as Kilburn and the High roads. Brought back memories of the time i lived just of Kilburn High RD With er indoors. Even got married at the Church just round the corner. Was a late starter going to gigs. The first one was Meatloaf at the MEN. One of the best ones i saw was Daniel ODonnel, got dragged allong to it by er indoors and her sister. | ![](/images/avatars/1498.gif) |

I think Wigan is correct, I can't get the link as I'm in the pub though. Wonder if I've still got the ticket? | ![](/images/avatars/1142.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
First band you saw live on 23:08 - Jan 26 with 16203 views | Birchy915 | I'm not big on going to concerts, most of my favourite bands either done tour in the UK or their tickets sell out in about 10 minutes. But I did manage to get myself to see Blink 182 in June at the MEN, and AAR were supporting them, brilliant! | ![](/images/avatars/1586.gif) |
