    First ever gig was a small local band, at a pub, cos a mate was singing with them. They were called Norfolk & Goode, say it fast a few times out loud and you'll get the general standard of the performance. Good fun though :)

    First gig was Slade in the National Stadium in Dublin around 1972/73. It was great.

    The most recent was The Fall in The Pavilion in Cork in July 2012. It too was great.

    Don McLean in the National Stadium around 1972. "Bye bye Miss American Pie" was his big hit at the time. Happy memories:).

    Phil Lynott in about 1982. It was a solo gig but he had all the members of Thin Lizzy playing with him and they played a lot of Lizzy songs.

    Great thread ;)

    Had been to a lot of music festivals etc in the 70`s 80's but i think the first major concert was to see B.B. KING at the Neptune Stadium here in Cork.

    Cant for the life of me remember what year that was lol , but i guessing mid 80`s .

    The cure disintegration tour ....1990 I think...

    Saw them at Electric Picnic last year....they're ass good as ever....

    Love the fact that these older acts still remain relevant...

    Leonard Cohen in Kilmainham a few years ago is still one of my favourite concerts and that guy is no spring chicken
