Off to see Tom Jones in Hong Kong in March, with my wife and my son. It'll be a far cry from pogoing around the room to Carter USM, I can tell ya!Head Hands Heart Lungs Legs0 -
Los del Rio - never heard of them? No loss, but you will know one of their songs:
The Macarena.
And they played it THREE times.
In my defence, it was a free concert during some fiestas in Spain. On the other hand, I could have left and didn't...0 -
hhmm...good thread.
I can add:
saw Wham twice (including driving a car full of girls to the farewell gig at Wembley)
Banarama (surprisingly good live, just did dance routines from the videos which a high percentage of the male audience seemed to knew step by step)
King (anyone else remember them - did one tour sponsored by Boots, and did their only number one three times during the evening!)

Johnny and the Self Abusers at the Doune Castle in Glasgow. They went on to become Simple Minds.

they were sh*t then too
Sorry - but your head needs a good shake if you think U2 is a crap band.
I'm no fan of theirs, but seriously.
Technically speaking I'm sure U2 are very good it's just the noise that they produce that is crap and it always has been.
most embarassing gig A-Ha probably.
I dozed through Kasabian recently - quite liked em when we got the tickets, the allure had worn off by the time the gig came round, coupled with a long day, big tea and few beers zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz0 -
