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!!! :eek:

Happy Days. :cool:

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?
 
1----Bruce Springsteen Slane Castle 1985.
2----Niall Diamond Croke Park, Dublin around 1984.
3----Michael Jackson Pairc Ui Choimh, Cork around 1988.

Honourable mention to Peter Frampton, Barry Manilow and Diana Ross.
