Best Gig

[Basher]

Bon Jovi at the Mc alpine was great too

I was there too. Not all that impressed tbh.

Saw Rush at the NEC (1983 Moving Pictures Tour) Top gig I ever saw.

2nd has to be Monsters of Rock at Donnington in 82. Quo headlined and were superb! (Original lineup of Rossi,Parfitt,Lancaster and Coghlan. Deaf for a week.

Saw Iron Maiden at Bradford City Hall, Piece of Mind Tour. My God it was LOUD!!!

Happy Days.

Strange that the vast majority of gigs mentioned are all rock bands. Well, not all that strange as rock music......well, it rocks doesn't it?
