They were my fav band at the time and had a reputation for being great live, they were!

Best gig I ever went to was The Ramones in Cabra grand hall around '84 and most recent best gig would have to be Last Resort at Wasted last year.

[nofunchee]

Cliff Richard in the point for my 8th birthday.
Savage.

Edit-it was my tenth birthday actually.

Definitely the Smashing Pumpkins gig where the bird died. Think about it. Any time in the future you're having a conversation which just goes silent you could just bring it up. BAM you're back in business.

"Did you actually see her?"
"Yeh it was horrible"
"That reminds me...etc"

That was the first "concert" I was at. I didn't like them, I just had to chaperone my sister.

I can't remember the first gig I was ever at but it was no doubt some awful shite such as Revelino/Whipping Boy (Yes, I know some people like them)/Big Bag 'O Sticks/Australian Nirvana in the Theatre Royal in Limerick.

First gig: In Tua Nua - Portumna, Galway 84

First Metal: Faith no More & Prong - Top hat 90. Faith no more were recording for top of the pops and didn't get there 10.30 so Prong got to play for an hour and half(if memory serves me)

First Punk: Fugazi, Rythm-ites(i think) & Therapy - McGonagles 90. Therapy we're good back then
