| your first ever gig 08:47 - May 3 with 6081 views | electricblue |
what was your first ever gig you went to and the worst. and your overall favourite gig.
Worst ever is a toss between. Either queen live at elland road in 1982 or a UFO gig at the apollo utter crap.
Best was ever is a toss up to either here and now or deeply vale festival..
Oh i seem to recall watching bon jovi in the 80' just before they released their album ans they where excellent, watched them again 6months later touring the album and they where crap walked out after 30mins..
Any one rememember Saxon always blowing their sound system at the apollo when they performed 20,000ft year after year. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Used to love Skid Row and 'rediscovered' them a few weeks ago. Still sound great, Slave to the Grind was a great album. As for GnR at Maine Road - they were massively disappointing but Faith No More were absolutely awesome - that stopped me from putting that down as my worst gig. |  |
