    I forgot about Stuart Adamson of Big Country. I saw them in Slane in 1987 supporting David Bowie, who I had previously mentioned.

    David Bowie would be the big one. I had to check if Neil Diamond was still alive. Turns out he is alive and still touring.

    He's some man for one man, I was at one of his concerts in Dublin where I'd nearly swear that the tickets were paid for in punts and on the way back home we were delighted we had seen him as we thought there probably wasn't much more left in him.

    He had a pair of legs like two sewing needles but he was a fine chanter in fairness.

    Noone, I would have loved to see Chester Bennington live, I only really became a Linkin Park fan after he died, though his death made me realise that i shouldn't waste any opportunities in seeing musicians, for example I am seeing Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park this sunday and am also seeing Slipknot for the first time at Download Festival.

    what a weird coincidence-knew it was around the start of March but...

    https://pitchfork.com/features/article/9745-the-sad-and-beautiful-world-of-sparklehorses-mark-linkous/

    the above is a good article for those not familiar with Linkous and given the name dropping involved it shows how respected he was!

    Here are two names that I saw in Knebworth in 1986: Rick Parfitt of Status Quo, and Freddie Mercury of Queen. I had forgotten about those two because I had only thought of Irish venues!

    He played the Carlton Cinema in Dublin in the seventies, back when gigs there were fairly commonplace. He played the National Stadium, the Olympia and the Cork Opera House a few times in the late eighties/early nineties, and played the Point with the Highwaymen in (I think) 1992. So "yes" is the answer. :)

    The place was called the Crystal Ballroom back then. It was in 1963.
