[Oraisteach]

This thread has me banjaxed because of my porous memory.  You'd think you'd remember your first, wouldn't you.

Apart from the usual Irish fare—Horslips, Thin Lizzy, Rory and Planxty—I can't recall my first, but I'd have to say the most significant, though not necessarily the best, was Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon at the Liverpool Empire in the early 70's.

Saw Lou Reed there too about the same time. Maybe Bob Marley.  But have to say that I'm still annoyed that I couldn't be arsed going to see Queen, even though I worked the concert.  Because my friend liked them, a lad whose taste was crap, I decided to head off to a nearby pub during the show after the set-up.

Not completely un-related - but Thin Lizzy (whats left of them) are playing here in Reno on Wednesday. I've never seen them in action - is what's left of them now worth a ticket?

[Maguire01]

Therapy? / Ash / Joyrider - The Point - 1995

[laoislad]

Oasis 1996 Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

[ross4life]

AC/DC Point Theatre, Dublin, 1991. I wonder was any of our older members at Woodstock 69?

[mountainboii]

Foo Fighters at the Point in 2002. Great night, looks a bit shit here though.

[sans pessimism]

Dylan-Slane 1984

Puck, haven't seen them live myself, but they were on the late late show and if you Google thin lizzy late show you can watch them, might give you a notion whether you go or not.

[Ulick]

Everly Brothers, Grosvenor Hall, Belfast. '83 or '84.

[westmayo]

Foo Fighters at the Point in 2002. Great night, looks a bit shit here though.

That doesn't look like The Point in that video

First stadium concert was The Joshua Tree concert at Croke Park.

My dad brought me and the brother down and dropped us off outside Quinn's, my dad then headed of to relatives for the day. We headed straight into an offy and bought two 2 litres of cider and as i was standing there hold the bottles my dad drove past me  shaking his fist wound down the window and said he'll sort me out later FFS. I was 16

Had been to a clatter of concerts at the Kings hall previously, T'pau, Five star, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode (top concert) And then went to Erasure in the Ulster Hall (crazy concert)

Most of the concerts at the Kings Hall were free ones, we knew the door men (La Salle Teachers)

Been to the rest of the U2 concerts though, but don't think I'll head to any more, can't be arsed paying the big money for them

[Myles Na G.]

The Radiators From Space, circa about 1976.

Would like to have seen Depeche Mode in the day.
