Mine was "The Farm" @ Manchester Academy in 1990, closely followed by "James" at the GMex in 1991.

Happy Madchester days

Saw "The Prodigy" when they supported "Oasis" at Knebworth in 96, I agree they are absolutely tremendous live.

It was a brilliant brilliant gig (well, apart from "The Manics", who were toilet), you really felt like you were part of something special. The weather was glorious, 250000 people were there which just blew your mind, and when "Oasis" took to the stage the place was absolutely rockin. Yeah, Liam was off his head (a lot) - as were most of us in the crowd - and kept babbling drivel inbetween songs, but for pure tribal singalong tunes - they cannot be bettered. Loved it.

Adam and the Ants - The Prince Charming Review at the Birmingham Odeon during the early eighties. I'm pretty sure it was that although at about the same time I went to see Toyah.

[city fan]

Frankie Goes to Hollywood- Apollo Theatre not sure of year around 1985

Last gig was the Prodigy at the Manchester Arena last year- fantastic : amazing

I was there on the Sunday

My first gig though was Iron Maiden at Wembley Arena, Dec '88 ... only four rows from the front, and could feel the heat from the pyrotechnics

[daveleeuk]

Because of all this prodigy talk, I'd like to point out (Incase you don't know) The Prodigy are rleasing their next album next year WOOOOOOOOO you can hear a bit of a taster on youtube, look for the trailer for PGR4

sorry to be But the Prodigy are just so amazingly amazing

[Accylad]

Rolling Stones - Nelson Imperial Ballroom 1960 something

[Maniac618]

The first gig I chose to go to myself (not chosen by either of my parents) was Kula Shaker at the Brixton Academy in 1997 when I was 12 .

The security let me stand on the Mixing desk barrier so I was tall enough to see

Good to know. Just for you Dave I've edited my post above


FantasticAmazing group live. Good to crank them up at home too. Neighbours don't seem to appreciate it though

[daveleeuk]

I think the Prodigy sparked my love of music, since then I've been mental about music, mainly of the electronic kind. I can honestly say if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have the love I have now for D'n'B, I wouldnt be able to play any of the instruments I can now, I would be able to produce my own music. I dont know where id be!

Inspirational, and totally original.

The Strawbs in 1973. I was 14 and I was told all their music was like Part of the Union, which was a single then.

It was so loud it hurt, i thought i was going to be deaf forever.

I still play the Bursting at the Seams album.

[Mr Incredible]

Although the first official gig I went to at Uni was to see Camel, I think my first "proper" gig was to see The Who in Glasgow (1978) when Moon the Loon was on drums! Awesome live band!

If only you had gone on the Saturday, we could have met up. I was dead easy to spot, as even back then I was exhibiting the first signs of becoming a bit of an anorak with regard to movies and music.

How I laughed when a load of scousers stole my sony walkman, my packed lunch, and my binoculars.

The Prodigy are awsome and i still think The Fat of the Land stands up today as a great album, Didnt know they were making a new ablum

I don't really do the 'gig' thing but i did see my boyhood heros Madness in Finsbury park supported by the great Ian Dury, Good memories indeed

My first gig was Suzie Quattro in Edinburgh with my parents (I guess I was about 10 ?) all I remember was it was very very loud and I thought she was a man and her music was rubbish

First gig on my own was Eurythmics when I was about 15 or 16

Last year I took my neice (for her birthday) and 2 of her friends to see Black eyed peas at NIA - they were 11yrs and it was their first concert - you should have seen their faces - worth every penny Hopefully she will always remember that night I certainly will, I came away their biggest fan, couldn't stop talking about it for weeks !! Fergie's version of 'Sweet child o mine' was amazing !

We had the "first gig" conversation a couple of years ago at work and one of the lads said "Gloria Estefan and The Miami Sound Machine" We mercilessly ripped him to bits for days afterwards, every time he walked past all you could hear was one of us singing this

[Kieron]

Soul 2 Soul at the MEN circa 1990.

Unless I can count the Radio 1 roadshow in Morecombe in the 70's!
