I see your eighties abominations and raise you a Cradle of Filth c 1993. I should state, though, that I had an absolute ball, along with a couple of hundred other sex-starved, gangly teenage boys.
It may be the somewhat Nordic weather we've been having but I've been dusting off numerous Black Metal albums over the past few weeks - Hail Satan etc...0 -

Personally, saw Shampoo (Uh oh, we're in trouble) at The Venue, New Cross in 1995. They mimed 3 numbers, were rubbish, had stuff thrown at them. Brilliant blues band supporting though.0 -
I saw 'By Jovi' in Morecambe - well we never got many bands over there and it was pretty good to be honest....'Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible' Marcel Proust.0

On the same weekender, went to see the Levellers in Edinburgh then the following night Kylie in Aberdeen; to say there was a contrast in audience cleanliness is an understatement......0

Time for my confession. My sins consist of Steps and All Saints, both in Birmingham NIA or NEC. The All Saints gig didn't cost me anything in effect as I bought 4 tickets for Bristol and sold them all making enough profit to pay for the ticket and coach travel to B'Ham. At the Steps concert I felt very old as the crowd consisted of sub 15 year old girls with embarrased parents.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0
