Who headlined, where and when?
Mine was Quo at the Viccy Hall, sometime around 1973.
They'd just released Piledriver I think, which should date it but I've got a fit of the lazys and can't be bothered to Google it.

Doesn't really float my boat.
Edit* - i've never been interested enough in a band to go to one i suppose rather than not really floating my boat.

I've never been to a proper gig.
I did see snap and the nightcrawlers perform at a night club in turkey in 1996 whilst on holiday with my parents and a mate. It was on the same day I found out i'd failed all my gcses and mummy caught me smoking on the beach, but I wasn't to bothered as I was pissed on effes pills and got a hand job of a geordie lass.

With mates - it was the Clash at Wolverhampton Civic Hall - christmas - 1978 i think so I was 17.
I had seen the rich kids in stafford top of the world a while earlier, but I went with my older sister so that didnt count.

Toyah at the Viccy Hall in 1981.
There are some excellent bands on this thread that I missed out on live. I would have loved to have seen Crass and also had a ticket to see The Clash in Hanley but they cancelled.
