Good thread Nines - I think we may have had this conversation. I have several all from around the same time (the summer of 1969) and I'm really not sure which would have come first. The Stones at Hyde Park I've described elsewhere, but the others from around that time were all at the Albert Hall - Led Zeppelin at the 'pop proms', Moody Blues supported by Elton John and Ten Years After supported by Jethro Tull. The best of those would have been Led Zep though.

James Brown is a pretty cool first gig though Norway. I saw him in an awful barn venue in Milan, a few years earlier than you, and he still filled the space.
I would have loved to have seen Led Zep live. I only recognised that they were simply a very loud very good blues band ages after they had gone.
Bob Marley and the Wailers, July 6th 1980, Dalymount Park Dublin. 10 months later he was dead.

O/T a bit, but - How about a worst gig anyone has ever been to?
Mine was Maroon 5 at Wembley Arena just last year. They seemed totally uninterested. (It would have helped if I was a fan of the band, I guess).

Thin Lizzy in the mid 80s at Cork County Hall. First and best!
Steel Pulse at an open air gig near Ladbroke Grove in 1979.
I think I was at that Pogues gig, Kiwi. Was it on St Patrick's day? They ran out of beer as I remember, which didn't go down well.
So was I. I was sitting next to the singer from the group Blancmange ( Neil Arthur. )
dont be too sure...ready...Kajagoogoo
in my defense i was 15 and my girlfriend loved them..honest
A little story. I sat beside Phil Lynott on a flight one Christmas Eve from Heathrow to Dublin when I was an air courier cerca mid 80's. I used to bring the British Airways ground staff in Heathrow duty free and they upgraded me to business as a return favour. He said to me on board, wait till you see the customs pull me for a drugs search when we arrive in Dublin. Sure enough, the customs pulled him for a search. Just like my Marley concert, a few months later Phil Lynott was dead.
so finglass as a fan your capable of killing just about anyone what a shame you didnt go to watch gary glitter
I'm pretty sure I saw them there too. I would often go there for gigs. I remember seeing Propoganda, Bronski Beat and Prefab Sprout playing at that venue.
Ok here goes ( to my utter shame)........
The Nolan Sisters at Slough........but to be fair I only went 'cos my cousin had a spare ticket and couldn't find anyone to go with her.
