who have you seen, who would you like to have seen, which are you embarrased to say you were there

i have seen, that i can remember,

oasis 3times
the verve
corrs 2 times
noel gallagher
elvis (not in the flesh)
the donnas
republica
st ettiene
within temptation
delaine
cameo
cast
bluetones
goo goo dolls

also used to be a pub in leicester called the charlotte that had live bands every week, saw some real shite in there!

and the most shameful of all i got dragged to an elton john gig years ago

loved republica, sinead was off her fucking tits crazy, oasis the crowd aside were brilliant.

would most loved to have seen elvis live and queen.

can anyone beat elton john for shame?

Seen so many acts in my time. From 15-22 I regularly took in between 15-20 gigs a year. This was in the day you could just wander up to a venue & as long as not sold out could pay £10 to get in.

Some of the "big acts" would include
Guns N' Roses twice
U2
REM
Oasis
Red Hot Chili Peppers five times
Rod Stewart twice
Billy Joel
Neil Diamond
The Stone Roses
The Who
The Killers 3 times
Foo Fighters
Iron Maiden
Kasabian

Would love to have seen the original Guns N Roses, Elvis, The Doors & The Smiths

I actually had tickets to go see Elton John but the girl I was taking gran died the morning of the concert so didn't go

so far i think my elton john is just trumping your rod stewart!

As a child I was taken to see Engleburt Humperdink and Max Bygraves by my mother!

I made up for it by seeing Motorhead at the Hammersmith Odeon but for some reason she didn't want to come with me. Dunno why I said I'd pay for the ticket.

we have a new leader, going to take something pretty shocking to top this abomination!

This could be embarrassing! In no particular order:

Transvision Vamp
Depeche Mode x 2
Sisters of Mercy x 2
Meat Loaf x 2
Bon Jovi x 4 (the wife's doing, honest)
Bryan Adams (the wife again)
Elton John (the wife again)
The Killers
Scissor Sisters
Take That (fucking hell)
Robbie Williams (double fucking hell)
U2
Heaven 17 / Bananarama / Culture Club / Belinda Carlisle
Paulo Ntini / Duran Duran / Stereophonics / Snow Patrol
Human League
Going to see Ultravox in a couple of weeks.

I'll get me coat.

take that and robbie fucking williams!!!

you didnt even blame that on the wife!

even more worryingly i seem to have lost the ability to quote anything

*runs away*

robbie williams v englebert humperdink
take that v max bygraves

have to get a judgement on that, hard to say which is worse!

a quiet evening with mr g

the institute in birmingham was a sweat box!

sadly no footage exists of the elton john gig

I'm still holding a trip to see the Black & White Minstrel show in reserve!

Been subjected to Elton too, but i think going to see Pink half a dozen times with the wife may trump that
