    I hear that was one of the roughest concerts ever seen in Ireland. I wish I was there. :(

    My first gig was Thin Lizzy, in Slane, in 1981. I was five, and all other gigs since have been found wanting. Oh, except Ozzfest, which I heartily enjoyed once I found out Ozzy was not actually playing.

    After another drunken night, my parental unita have reminded me I was at another gig prior to Thin Lizzy in Slane at 1981 (babysitter issues)

    Unfortunately they can't remember what it was it may have been Richard Clayderman (all the kids say Who?!?!) but may have have been more ...er.....'Rawk' than this...does this count??

    I was four, so would have been 1980?? Ha, I'm so older than all of you..!!:(

    I don't really like their sorta mad Anarchy thing. It just really annoys me. I'm more of a "get on with life" type of guy. I couldn't honestly give a fuck about what goes on in the World. The only thing I really care about is myself, my family and friends. I just find that whole, hatred of conformity thing a waste of time.

    I think all these 'Anarchists' would be the first to start moaning and whining if there ever was anarchy and their dole cheques stopped coming through.

    Horslips in St. Mary's Hall, Portlaoise, sometime in the late 70's.
    There's a gig listed here for 1st May 1976; maybe that was it, but I've a nagging feeling it was a year or two later:

    I didn't go to first concert until I was 19, Evanescence in Manchester, I didn't know what to expect with concerts, I was surprised at how loud it was, I don't understand why they need to be so loud in a small indoor venue.

    Me mother wouldn't let me go to that one.
    "Apparently" the leaving certificate is more important than some gig. Hon!

    My first gig was The Divine Comedy in Galway.
    Left after they did the Fr Ted theme tune.
    Hehe!
