    Oh, BTW, the BIC (Bournemouth) is one of the most soulless venues on Earth....

    Reading 2009
    Many times (about 6)...Milton Keynes two nights running
    Reading
    (PS Reading is the most souless dump of a festival...never going again)
    First group I ever saw with my Mum when I was about 9 or 10
    So it would be the Clash ....(so, so regret this)....although I have met someone called Mick in a pub in Shepherds Bush, and we have had a long conversation about Ollie and his tactics.
    It was later on that I was told it was Mick Jones...and I could have really embarassed my self in saying though I never saw you in the Clash, I did see you in Big Audio Dynamite.

    Take it away Big Dipper

    No. Saw the 1980s version at the Palais (0 points for asking me "which" Palais)... Flew to NYC for the reformed 8-piece in 2014 because they weren't (at the time) saying they'd do any European dates. Big fan.

    No. Saw them 3 years ago at the soulless BIC in Bournemouth.

    And the winner is...
    I never realised how good she was until it was too late to do anything about it.

    Mr Steelmonkey, it's your ball.

    Bournemouth and London sold out according to his website, which also urges you not to use secondary ticketing sources or touts. Still some tickets for Nottingham, but I am travelling at that time. Balls!

    Sorry Stan.
    Just been there...the Bmouth tickets have gone since this morning...perhaps there are a lot of Nick Cave fans on Not606

    Didn't you take your wife to the states to see Fleetwood Mac...perhaps ....?????

    I've looked at the US dates! All sold out on the east coast.....looking at the European ones though, could tie in with some footy.....

    Cheers BD.....I've compiled a few lists, but as everyone is going for oldie classics, I'll bring it up to the 21st century with my first list!

    Arctic Monkeys
    Kasabian
    Muse
    Oasis
    Blur
    Pulp
    The Verve
    Stereophonics
    Franz Ferdinand
    Radiohead
    The Killers

    As a bonus guess, out of the 9 bands that I have seen, there's one of them I've only seen once, the rest I've seen multiple times - freebee guess for that one!!

    By the way Beth/Stan, Nick Cave is amazing live - saw him at T in the Park a few years ago! And there's tickets available for his Glasgow gig!!

    Nobody needs to see Muse more than once, and The Killers would be my guess for not at all.
