    following KH's admission of the drifters, what was your first ever gig?

    mine was placebo at leeds t&c when i was 14.

    should've been the levellers but i had to have my tonsils out so couldn't go, i was gutted!

    Yeah probably seen him a couple of dozen times over the years, he always puts on a good show but I don't think anything can beat that 1st experience of a live gig

    Was that in response to me saying Iron Maiden? If so, yes, Paul DiAnno, also saw them the year after with him.

    Suzi Quatro at Barnsley Civic in 1973 (I think!). Watching Suzi strutting her stuff on stage, wearing her tight, black leather gear, made this particular teenage boy a VERY happy lad!!:D
