First gig I ever went to was Queen at the Free Trade Hall Manchester (26th November 1975). The ticket was a 13th birthday present.
They did two concerts that night - one at 6pm and one at 9pm. My mum would only let me go (with my older cousin and a few of his mates) if we went to the early one so we could get home on the train easily.

I really can't remember my first gig - it might have been The Farmer's Boys at St Andrew's Hall who were a moderately successful local band where I grew up in Norwich.
First single was the 1980 re-release of Imagine after John Lennon was murdered.

First live concert at the Weston Super Mare Winter Gardens, Rory Gallacher. I went straight out and bought Live in Europe!

Hi Will - there were getting far too many stickies in the music room, so a decision was made to amalgamate a few and get rid of some others (as stickies) - so First Concert/Last Concert have been merged - if there is any major objection to this we can of course have another look at the situation. And sorry - we probably should have made this clear to people.

Hi Alex, given that the thread is still called...
First Live Gig & First Record Bought
...this is indeed confusing.
One was a sticky about current live gigs and peoples reviews & tips thereof, the other is a wander down memory lane, which is nice but not really the same thing
Cheers, Will
