Also a massive Gary Numan fan from Tubeway Army still to today
First gig was U2 very early days, Boy album was a small room, don't remember much lol
ABC in Leicester De Mont I guess though, they were actually really good and the gold lamay suit
Last gig was Gary Numan on the Savage tour at Roadmender in Northampton
We were quite close but a small venue anyway, absolutely brilliant and loud , was deaf for a few days, but his new music Mixed with some older stuff was excellent
How he's not been invited to play Glasto I don't know
Saw him during the Metal Rythm album tour in Milton Keynes, The Woughton Centre again brilliant
I met Gary Numan a couple of times as he was a private pilot and part of my job at the airport was dealing with them. The first time we met was at the start of an attempt to fly around the world solo. Can't remember if it was the first (failed) or 2nd successful attempt. He is an amazing Pilot and a qualified aerobatics instructor and flew with an aerobatics team for a while.
Anyway, I can confirm that he is one of the nicest people in the pop world, a real gentleman.

Best is a tough one, I have seen the likes of meat loaf, pink, bon jovi a few times and a few more but would say Michael Buble was the best both times we have seen him.
Stayed in the same hotel as some of his crew and got talking to one of them and they said he is a genuine guy and is the same in real life as he comes across on stage.

First gig - depeche mode 1983 Brighton
Best gig - agree with Sanny Michael Jackson history tour 1997 - amazing. Tina turner with belinda carlisle similar year also superb.

Fantastic Red Puma ST-Line X 155bhp, automatic, full options except full leather interior, massage seats and tow-bar, but who caresβ¦
Lots of great posts mentioning many fantastic artists so I thought I'd ask a related supplementary question.
Which artist, who is no longer with us, do you now wish you had seen live in concert but you never got round to it?
For me it was between Donna Summer and David Bowie..... with Bowie getting my vote. I've got his last Glastonbury set recorded and I watch it back thinking..... I wish I'd been there.
Having said that, someone is bound to mention an artist and I'll want to change my mind
This thread is quite revealing about everyone's age lol. My first proper gig was to see The Darkness in around 2006. I've been to quite a few gigs since then but I'm a big Bryan Adams fan, so I've seen him 5 times. I've enjoyed every one of his gigs and even met him after one of them. They say don't meet your heroes but he was really nice.
I wish I could've seen Queen and Michael Jackson.

I seen The Darkness in 2004 I think it was in Glasgow...they were still riding high after the success of their first album and biggest hit single.
Bryan Adams is good...I first got into him in 1984 after hearing the single Run To You which made me buy the album Reckless, then the previous Cuts Like A Knife.
When Into The Fire came out in 87 I bought that right away, so when the tour was announced I got tickets for Glasgow SECC. Support band was T'Pau who were great and were actually enjoying much bigger success in the UK at that time than Bryan Adams.

Who do I wish I had seen ?
Easy - Otis Redding, ideally with the Bar Kays backing him.
I saw him on the Stax Volt Tour in 67 which was in the April and he died in December.....Unforgettable experience.

First Gig not sure but last gig was Elton John on his farewell yellow brick road. Best gig is harder but Rolling Stones in Poland was a stand out and for a more upto date band an early Killers gig at the Astoria as part of the NME tour, most of my favourite nights out were at the Astoria which is now sadly demolished to make way for the Elizabeth line.. progress??? Bowie or Led Zeppelin would be the ones Iβd see if I had a Time Machine
