    I'd love to know this myself but there's no way I could remember.

    First was Dire Straits in The Point in 1991 and the last was The Charlatans in May, and the next will be Ac/Dc on Wednesday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 205 ✭✭ts_editor


    I like lists.
    This is pretty solid (I'd probably have taken that FOB ticket from you), but you just know you'll be blown away by a metalhead that's been gigging since the 70s, or some hipster with 100 bands you never heard of and their mate's coffee shop sets. Not to mention the pill poppin' nightclubbers who try to count 'Special Guest w/ MacBook' as a gig.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,007 ✭✭✭✭hynesie08


    There was a thread like this a few years ago, but it disappeared, shame cause i always wanted to go back and edit it as I'd be really struggling to remember.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,959 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    Impossible for me, been going to gigs since 1985, at one point i was hitting 2 a week, seen Metallica around 25 times alone.

    One of the most interesting/infuriating things (delete as appropriate) about going through old tickets is seeing the prices.
    Page and Plant, 1995, £27.50, and that was kind of "expensive" at the time. Bearing in mind that your average chart CD then was £14.99, that puts it in some perspective.
    Smashing Pumpkins, SFX, 1995, £12.75! And this wasn't when they were an obscure cult band: this was post-Siamese Dream, with Mellon Collie just about to be released.
    Pearl Jam, Point, 1996, £17.00.
    David Bowie, Olympia, 1997, £24.50. (The idea of paying that little for a venue that small is just extraordinary).
    Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band, RDS, 1999, £35.00.
    Numerous other examples, but they sort of stood out. :)

    Waaayy yoo many to remember. REM 95 to Jape 15 ( can't remember the last one I've been at think it was these


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 191 ✭✭DaveyCakes


    ^^^ I remember being horrified the first time I paid £10 for a concert. When I started around 1990 most McGonagles/SFX gigs were around £7


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 350 ✭✭wtlltw


    Smashing Pumpkins, SFX, 1995, £12.75! And this wasn't when they were an obscure cult band: this was post-Siamese Dream, with Mellon Collie just about to be released.

    My mate didn't want to go as he didn't like Smashing Pumpkins, so he sold his ticket outside for £32 and sat himself down in the Big Tree for a few pints while the rest of us went. That was a great week for gigs in Dublin, NOFX, Smashing Pumpkins and Sound Garden at the RDS

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,328 ✭✭✭karaokeman


    I could honestly go on all day about what gigs I've attended, but most recently was Fleetwood Mac.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,677 ✭✭✭Zwillinge


    I was only putting Fridays Mastodon ticket into my 200 photograph album and was all "Eek, only 12 slots left, will I feel them by the end of the year??"

    I hope they still sell photograph albums, since everything has gone digital over the last while.

    But I also add musical/theater ticket stubs into that :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 393 ✭✭Rainbow_brite


    I could be here all day writing a list as well, my first out door gig was The Day Trip to Tipp (Foos, Manics) back sometime in the mid- late 90's I was about 14/15, also went to the SFX caught Greenday there. Did the whole Witness/Oxegen thing.

    Bands that I went to see and actually surprised me and I really enjoyed live were Juliette Lewis and the Licks and Basement Jaxx.

    One of my fave outdoor gigs was last year Pearl Jam at the MK Bowl. Last gig I attended was Beck in Cork and most recent tickets I bought are for EODM. Have also kept a lot of my ticket stubs down through the years early ones are very faded as I had them stuck on my wall!

    To borrow RayCon's graphic, here's my comparison:
    First : AC/DC , RDS October 1982, ticket price £8.50

    Electric picnic '04,'05,'06, '08,'10, '11,'12, '14

    There's no way I could remember all the gigs I have been to. First was smashing pumpkins at the point in '96. There was a fatality at that but it didn't put me off evidently.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,238 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    - Alestorm/Sabaton - Vicar Street

    Sabaton will be excellent. Their gig at the Academy last year was fantastic, one of the best frontman performances I've ever seen.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,686 Mod ✭✭✭✭melekalikimaka


    About eight festivals a year for last 10 years and probably about 70 gigs a year for six... Working. Going to boomtown fair end of summer first gig as punter in 13 years


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,855 ✭✭✭The Wild Bunch


    Impossible to remember.

    At this stage I've seen Muse over 20 times - Manic Street Preachers must be close to 30 I'd say.

    Then there's the 'local' bands like Turn and 'Future Kings of Spain' that I'd have seen in the Button Factory or Whelans every other week
