MiniMoon - that's sad. I lived in Essex so it was easy to get up to London. Sometimes a friend's older boyfriend was persuaded to drive us if I organised a ticket for him too. I worked in Woolies on Saturdays and also during the school holidays which is how I was able to buy tickets.

I never had the opportunity to go to a concert when I was young. We lived in rural Cumbria and no good shows or artistes ever came near.

Since the records thread brought back many happy memories I started to think about concerts that you may have liked/loved/loathed when you were young.

I'm starting off with some I saw when still at school:

Bob Dylan, solo at the Albert Hall - we sat right at the top and he looked so small
Tamla Motown Road Show (with Stevie Wonder when he was little)
Manfred Man
Beatles Christmas Show - that was the worst because I couldn't hear anything. Too much screaming
