[grumpyhack]

Hahahaha! I'm chuckling away at the 'old money' You'll have to translate for me! How much was that in todays cash?!?

Hahahaha! I'm chuckling away at the 'old money' You'll have to translate for me! How much was that in todays cash?!?

[Digi]

18'6 (18 shillings and sixpence for the youngsters!) would be roughly 92p in todays money as we no longer have the half pence.

14'6 = 72p

16'6 = 82p

22'6 = £1.12

Someone else can hopefully work out how much this would today taking into account inflation.

Joe strummer and mick jones 2002 at Acton town hall.

[denwyn]

Saw pretty well all of these as it was in the days of a single stage.

Deep Purple at Knebworth Fayre in 1985, this was good training for me when I eventually went to Glastonbury as it rained non stop! Can't believe it was only £12.50!

AC/DC on For Those tour

Stone Roses at Leeds Met

Pixies at Leeds Met ( prob the maddest gig I have ever been to )

The Smiths on the Queen is Dead Tour

The Cribs - playing to 5 people literraly

I never got to see Husker Du thos cos I was grounded when they played Leeds Warehouse !

[grumpyhack]

Ah... the days you could buy a house for 42p, or near enough according to my Ma who is either very blinkered for the good old days, or took way too much stuff shes not admitting to!

[StoneCircle]

I went to that !

I have a recording of the Blackfoot set on my i-tunes !!

U2 played Milton Keynes that day and I only when I looked around the coach and saw no

metal fans did I realise I was on the wrong bus. Luckily this was before either coach had

set off

I will still have my ticket somewhere I reckon !!!

Whilst the very large majority of people would think the following bands are no big deal, I kind of see them as modern legends, so it kind of blows me away that I've seen Taking Back Sunday, Alexisonfire and Jimmy Eat World.

[mandypants]

Pixies and Pearl Jam - saw both at Leeds fest a few years back and they were awesome.

Them Crooked Vultures secret gig at Leeds last year, and Faith No More last year - amazing!

Eagles of Death Metal at the Empire in Boro, simply because there's rarely any good bands on round here and I love those guys

[Scotrsman]

Dire Straits - first ever gig

The Rolling Stones - Voodoo Lounge tour

Santana

Neil Young

Rage Against the Machine

Alice in Chains

Mr Bungle x2

Sonic Youth

The Cure

David Bowie

The Police

Aphex Twin

Nine Inch Nails x7 (best live band i've ever seen)

Iggy Pop and the Stooges

Kiss

New Order

Kraftwerk

The Tea Party

Bjork

Not a bad list when i think about it. :-)

[bulb]

I don't think anyone really.

None I can consider legends cos most are recent musicians. Have to think about it.

WARNING TO ALL:If Ralph buys a ticket for your gig get ready for a funeral.

[Bugle]

Rolf Harris at Glasto last year was awsome and Tom Jones! Pretty chuffed about seeing them.

Blur too that was good and The Verve caught them both during their brief reformations.

Spinal Tap haha, Manic Street Preachers, Paul Weller, The Specials, Madness, Oasis (one of their last gigs).

Lenny Kravitz too that was a wierd one but still kind of cool....

Ive probably seen bigger bands than the ones mentioned but there the ones I feel really lucky to have gotten a chance to see especially as Im only 19 and there are lots of bands Ive seen that my parents missed the chance to see.

[jamseyboy]

A few of many......

Worst (bad beyond belief): Paul Young, Simply Red , Diana Ross.

Allright but dont say too loud: Madonna, Michael Jackson.

In their heyday and brilliant: Jam, Clash, Squeeze,GunsnRoses,Genesis,Fleetwood Mac, Elton John,Specials,Paul Simon,Queen, Clapton,Elvis Costello,

Enjoyable Singalongs: Madness,Tom Jones

Beyond belief: Peter Gabriel, Arcade Fire, Springsteen,Blur(Last Year), Pink Floyd, Led Zep,The Who

But cant believe I saw: Sex Pistols.

Off now to find my old ticket stubs going back to 1978!.........age shall not weary us.

[Ricochet]

Not so much "who" but "where"

U2 - Manchester Poly

The Cure - Northwich Memorial Hall

Flock of Seagulls - Winsford Youth Centre
