Confession Time - First Live Gig & First Record Bought

[Barry]

To be perfectly honest I'm not sure what the first concert I went to see was. It might have been something classical with my parents. I'm pretty certain the first pop performance I saw was The Amen Corner, in around '64 (or was it '66?). Saw Pink Floyd in '67 and numerous pub blues bands, including Champion Jack Dupree at that time.

Again, the first record I bought? Probably the Shadows 'Frightened City'. First EP (two weeks pocket money at the time): With the Beatles.
First LP: Beatles for Sale.

Dan - you've snapped the thread!

First gig - Iron Maiden, Hammersmith Odeon. Prolly around 86. Loud, and very very drink on cider - but not as drunk as my mate Kevin who slept through most of it. I was desperately trying to impress a girl who'd come with us, though at the time I didn't realise how futile this was as she was a) 3 years older than me and b) gay. Ah well.

First record - can I discount 'Wombling Free' by The Wombles? I was only about 5 and my mum bought it, so I'm going to say Sparks - Number One Song in Heaven.
