How about yours?

Sad.

Ian.

why are you sad Ian?
I'm sure they have lovely venues near where they keep you

Show off.

------------------------------------------------------

I suggest you follow my example?

I couldn't possibly remember... I used to go to The Marquee at least twice a week when I was at school

How about my first:



My most recent:



With quite a few Bowies in between

Very cool

You're so bloomin organised Ardent!!!! I'm impressed, but ashamed that I've never been even nearly so good at keeping records!!

I can only tell you that my first gig was in 1978 and I've been to a lot since then




Spidey
=^..^=

'A real life adventure, worth more than pieces of Gold'

It was easy for me - all my tickets are framed (cheaply) and behind the montor on the wall I just had to look carefullt at some of the dates on the tickets!

"framed (cheaply)"

I could've done that for you... shells and all

LOL !! errrr these are cheap in that they are "frameless"

snazzy way to display your tickets Ardent, I like it

Me and Don do actually keep all our tickets, they're just not in one place :-/

BUT one day, I'll get organised and gather them all up, and then I'm gonna frame them like you have




Spidey
=^..^=

'A real life adventure, worth more than pieces of Gold'

It's cheap and cool Spidey I like looking at them

holy cow what a neat collection. now do you think you can maile them to me . lol never seen david in concert and im 52.. feel sorry for me will ya.. foxi

I do

Bowie Bash at the Roundhouse!

I'm working on a website for storing such details.. you can access it at http://www.mygighistory.com if you're interested in inputting. You'll need the full date though

Your site looks really interesting!!! I'll have a proper look when I get home from work.

Thanks for putting the link up



Spidey
=^..^=

'A real life adventure, worth more than pieces of Gold'

It does look good

Maybe i'll eneter all that stuff again but for now...

Too many to remember. My first was The Kinks at Newcastle City Hall, sometime during the autumn of 1973. The week after next I’m going to see Iggy & The Stooges, Beck, The White Stripes and Franz Ferdinand. Rock just keeps on rolling.

Some notable ones are:

The first (and only) time I saw The Fall:



The first time I saw Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson:



The first time I saw Microdisney (they were the support):



The first time I saw Bowie:

ah very cool, Stu ... especially that last one !! an arm and a leg as they say

I just downloaded the boot of that gig which means that I now have a recording of 7 of the 8 Bowie gigs that I was at (I don't think Tin Machine at the Newcastle Mayfair in 1991 is going to show up anytime soon).

According to Bassman, there should be an excellent (DAT) Audio tape (he rates it as quality 9+ ) floating around somwhere.... :)I hope you can track it down!

Date:05-11-91
Venue:Mayfair, Newcastle UK
Length: 95 minutes
Quality : 9+
Source: DAT/2
Tracks: 17


http://www.algonet.se/~bassman/audios/index.html

No fair,Ardent.I've only been to 2 concerts
ever in my whole life.

I think I'm gonna cry.

Now I know who to go visit.Can I crash at your place,Ardent?


-----------
You happy with your little freak show?

It would take me hours and hours to put my list together. Last time i counted my ticket stubs (3 years ago)...it was over 200 concerts. There were a few summers that i had free access to Riverbend, an outdoor venue. When i was single i would go to EVERYTHING i could. I have friends that are DJs, store owners and the sort that have always hooked me up. I've gotten spoiled over the years. When i do pay for a ticket, i'm shocked at some prices!

'A working class hero is somethin' to be.'

It would take Hours and Hours ......

But it'd be worth it !

I bet it would be cool to see

Ardent you are damn organized!

And can you believe it was a blind date?! A Bowie fan bought me the ticket and he sat in the row directly behind me. What a larf

Bowiefans are the Best

Bowie Bash at the Roundhouse!

You bumped a 2006 thread, which mentions that my STS was half-inched by one of The Godfathers... and tomorrow night I'm going to see them play and fully intend to ask for my vinyl back (albeit 30-something years later)

i saw him too...little robots & all!

mind you, OMD were the (at that stage 2 piece) support act & they were easily as entertaining as mr numan. it was a top nite out...so many years ago...

so...Paul saw the Touring Principle...which tour did Sweety see?
