Which bands have you seen play live? and where and when?

Question

I have seen " Big Country" in Aberdeen in the late 80's early 90's

"Erasure" at around the same time and same place.

I saw "Genesis" at Hampden Park around 1990 and again at Roundhay park in Leeds in August '92

Last but not least, I saw "REM "at Loch Lomomd in 2005 (fantastic)

Genesis sold out for this summer in Manchester or I would see that.!!

I laugh at the comment "how much time do I have"
Thats five concerts in 20 years, not much at all ,by some standards.
Plus the fact I work full time ,have three kids and I'm studying as well!

I'm feeling very inadequat at some of the great bands people have seen

Answer 5

Well, only one band and two solo artists. I've seen Bob Dylan (2001, Knoxville TN), Foghat (2003 Nibroc Festival), and Percy Sledge (2005 Nibroc Festival). This summer I'm going to go see Roger Waters in Chicago.

Edit: The Stones are playing in Rome this summer (July). I've got a decision to make....either go to Rome on vacation and see the Stones (which would be the time of my life), or buy a car with my money instead...if I was the least bit sensible, I would buy the car...however :-)
