    The Boomtown Rats in a big top near Newcastle in about 1981. All I really remember was the fact that the seating collapsed and my Dad somehow managing to hit the deck first and breaking my fall! I was about 7.

    Shaun Cassidy at the Nassau Coliseum, 1977 or '78. He jumped through a big paper hoop singing "Da Do Run Run". I was in ecstasy :oops:

    1994 just turned 17, Bon Jovi at Milton Keynes Bowl. As much as I can't stand them now and haven't listened to them in 15 years it was honestly very enjoyable.
    All my favourite singers have stolen all of my best lines.

    Ted Nugent with Donnie Iris around 1980... I didn't like Nugent at all, I only went because a guy I liked asked me out to the show.

    Nope... the concert sucked & so did the date. Seeing Nugent swinging on a rope across the stage, wearing only a loincloth didn't impress me either. I was into groups like Journey, Kansas & Boston back then, Rush was probably the 'heaviest' band that I liked at that time.
