  1. Half Man Half Biscuit - Exeter Uni (cannot remember when)
    U2 - Cardiff Arms Park 1987 - Joshua Tree tour
    The Mission - Exeter St Georges Hall 1986
     
  2. A spaceship did land at Glastonbury in 94 and i got abducted and given the ride of my life O0


    I was the pilot!!!
     
  3. Seen an awful lot of music so it's hard to pick the best ones:

    Basement jaxx - stood in for kylie at glasto and absolutely rocked it, (it helped that I'd had more than my fair share of brothers cider)

    George Michael - first and only time I've seen a gay mosh pit. Not usually my music but he has probably the best male voice I've heard live.

    Seen foo's about 7 times, all are immense but the best bit was at wembly when half of led zepp came on and played with them for the encore

    Seen rhcp 5 times - Hyde park just shades it as we were 3 rows from the front and flee pointed to me and gave me the thumbs up for my loud singing of suck my kiss, (I was the only in the area who know all the words)

    Saw prince at wembly - had seats stage level and actually 2 rows in front of Brian may. The single most impressive showman I've seen

    Jay Z at glasto was absolutely awesome, the way he mixed his songs and got the crowd jumping was great

    Green day - t in the park, was a great gig and one of my childhood favourite bands

    Sure there are more...

    i forgot about seeing the Cure support siouxie n the banshees at malvern in 1978 , the banshee's were too out of it to perform so the cure became siouxies backing band for the night ad blew the place away - i learned later they they were her band before forming the cure .
