What is the best concert you have been to?
« on: February 22, 2018, 19:56:14 PM »
For me.....

Wings.

Hammersmith Odeon, September 1975.

I've been lucky enough to see some big bands and stars in concert; Michael Jackson, David Bowie; Elton John, BB King - even Gary Glitter but none comes close to the atmosphere and audience participation of the Wings concert.

Everybody in the audience was up and dancing and Paul McCartney was the definitive showman - it was like a private set.

Joy - just sheer joy.

Runrig when Donnie Munro was their frontman many moons ago at Loch Lomond. 
A close second was Kings of Leon at Bellahouston Park here in Glasgow

Bill Haley and the Comets at Manchester in the mid 1950's.  The early years of Rock and Roll.  Those were the days!  We were bopping in the aisles that night and singing until we were hoarse but we were so, so happy.  Memories are made of this!   ;D

Queen, Glasgow Apollo, December 1979.  Thing was, it was so mind blowing, that every gig I’ve been to since them has seemed crap.
