First and last gig been to?

[soicowboy]

Was playing darts tonight and had a live DVD of many different artists-someone asked me the above



My first was either Madness- 1980 at the vic Hall was an afternooon gig and a pound to get in- or u2 at the Kings Hall- was 13 people there-was talking to a friend of mine who went with me -he claims the Comsat Angels were the support but am sure was the Toilets who later became the Alarm. Maybe getting mixed up with a later gig.




Last one- again 50/50 -either The Pogues in Wolverhampton or the Stones at the MEN







Please keep it an anwer only post and not the know it all music clique who insult other bands-



He knows who I'm getting at
