[Mike Saville]

Snuck into Donnington again later (can't remember what year, but we saw Steve Vai with Whitesnake, & Aerosmith with Jimmy Page guesting at the end.

That'd be 1990 Wayne. ****** Radio 1 were broadcasting it live, and because of the deaths 2 years earlier they cut the number of tickets allowed, hence it was a sellout and I couldn't get there. *******s.

That's a pretty varied list!
My Mum saw Cliff & the Shads back when they were all bambinos.

[WileyKat]

They were at Knebworth in 1990. I've probably forgotten several festival-type people/gigs, to be honest. And not just because of beer consumption, either.

[Dave Tudor]

I was lazy and copied my list, too.

I didn't go to a 'proper' gig until I was 19, but it was a pretty good one - in fact, everything since has been a bit of an anti-cliamx!

Pink Floyd (London Earl's Court, 1994)
The Who, with Dodgy (Manchester Nynex Arena, 1996)
Status Quo, with Steeleye Span (Birmingham NEC, 1996)

Sophie Ellis-Bextor (Wolverhampton Civic Hall, 2003)
Yes (B'ham NIA, 2003)
Bob Geldof (S'bury Music Hall, 2003)

Iron Maiden, with Funeral For A Friend (B'ham NEC, 2003)
Atomic Kitten (B'ham NEC, 2004)

Loudon Wainwright III, Eliza Carthy & The Ratcatchers, Seth Lakeman Band, Vin Garbutt and others (Shrewsbury Folk Festival, 2006)
Madness (B'ham NEC, 2006)

Of those concerts, Pink Floyd was undoubtedly the best, though The Who (1996), Manics (1998), Roxy Music, Roger Waters, Bowie, Iron Maiden, Rush, the Finn Brothers and Brian Wilson were also particularly amazing.
