Metallica back in 2000

Alan Jackson 98

first was the best

Saw Stevie Wonder in Louisville, KY when I was a kid. I don't know how they talked my Momma in to letting me go. Everyone around me was high. And I suppose by the end of it, I was too. Can't remember but I was like 10 or 12.

Johnny Cash used to sing at our Church in Kentucky when I was a kid. I got to meet him once or twice.

that's just a small selection from a longer list; have not included any gigs I was working at, as invariably I would never catch a full show.

Impossible to choose just one favourite, or even a short list of 3, but these are ones that really stand out. Have also only gone for 'live' gigs, as if I included DJ's the list would be endless!!

btw, Neo; you have just linked straight to this one rather than old one...

Fairport Convention festival in cropredy (oxfordshire)..

every year in my teens.... It was a few miles from my home. Pitch the tent, get drunk and listen to dodgy folk music for 2 days straight.. Lots of piercings, dodgy hippies and gorgeous drunk gothic girls with purple lipstick.. A little scary you wake up with a purple todger and forget why.

I've not been there in over 15 years, but it's still going strong
