Your 1st "real" concert...

[screenexile]

First big concert I was hoping to go to was Michael Jackson in Pairc ui Caoimh iin 1988 . . . but my Dad couldn't get me tickets for that!

I ended up going to see Chris de Burgh at the King's Hall and I f**king loved it! I was 7 at the time.

Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood at the Kings Hall, Belfast in 1998.

I was at that too....it was surprisingly good!

Big Country - RDS 1985

Those amazing colossal men, hot house flowers, Big Country and Meatloaf - The Friday night at Feile 90.

I was 16 and it was one the greatest weekends of my life - hard to believe it was 21 years ago.....

Big Country were brilliant...

Oasis at the Limelight in Belfast in September 1994. The night that they went to Number 1 with Definitely Maybe Everyone says that they were there that night.

Slane 2003 with RHCP, Foo Fighters, QOTSA, PJ Harvey and Feeder.

Same here. Great concert.

Always wished i had been at slane the year they showed the ireland match when they qualified for the world cup. 2001??

[Croí na hÉireann]

First was REM in Slane in '95.

Snap. I haven't been back to Slane since as nothing will beat that night for me.

Those amazing colossal men

As far as I can recall they were called Thee Amazing Colossal Men...

[Harold Disgracey]

The Housemartins Ulster Hall 1987. Had a couple of pints with them in the Linenhall bar beforehand. IIRC the Farm supported them.

[seafoid]

Prince at Wemberlee 93. I think I saw Smashing Pumpkins at the RDS the same year.

What's the best concert you were ever at? 

[AQMP]

Elvis Costello - Ulster Hall.  Think it was March 1978..either a few days before or after Patrick's Day, IIRC.

[glens abu]

Seen Amen Corner at Dunmore stadium 1967,also grops like Taste in Ulster hall,but 1st really big one was Led Zeppelin in Ulster hall 1969.

U2 at RDS in 1993 for Zoo TV concert, was there for Friday and Saturday night.

Memories was the scale of the stage - massive. Also walking from RDS to Drumcondra after it, to the flat we were staying in. I was 17, on my own and had no idea of Dublin at all.

The main memory though is Saturday night, we got into the pit and Bono took Naomi Campbell up onto stage about 10 feet from my spec. I'll never forget that arse in a long tight red dress

My last concert was at the Odyssey in Belfast to see Dolly Parton's puppies. They were "real" good.

What was Bono doing wearing a dress

What was Bono doing wearing a dress

Was the only way he could hide his high heels on stage.

[Don Johnson]

Not a big concert fan. Only been to a handful in my life.

The first I went to though was Scooter, back in 96 or 97.

They came out and were obviously baked off their faces, did about three songs and left. Money well spent.
