Sooo who's been to see what?
Got me thinking as I'm off to see Madonna tonight. Not sure how much I'm going to enjoy it as to me Madonna peaked in the 90's and hasn't really recovered any ground since then.
What's the furthest you've travelled to see someone?
I went to Amsterdam to see Mika.... he was worth the trip, I got to almost the front and came back with some excellent pictures.

Smallest Venue?
Has to be the O2 Academy in Birmingham
Went with a friend and my daughter to see Adam Ant, having grown up listening to him this was fantastic. Girlchild also likes him so was fab to see her really enjoying music from the 80's

Largest Venue ?
This was probably Take That last year at Villa park.

So what have been yours?

I caught a plectrum, thrown by the guitarist too, that earned me some "favors" from the girlfriend ;))
Then I saw Elton John at his last gig on the UK tour a few years ago (bloody expensive tickets)
I was in row 13 - bottom left hand corner of the screen, next to the bloke in the purple jumper, as the vid starts...

Most recently, I saw Kevin Bloody Wilson (I won't post any of those vids, but feel free to search youtube for songs like "hey santa claus" and "Festival of farts")
Feel free to delete if required ;)

I have fond memories of waking up one night close to Christmas, a living room full of naval folk from Australia and hearing Kevin Bloody Wilson singing a not suitable for children song lol.
I was sent back to bed rather quickly lol.

I`ve seen Iron Maiden at the "monsters of rock" at Donnington race circuit in the early 80`s then saw them again in Cardiff and London a few years ago.
Looking forward to seeing Rammstein in Germany when they tour later this year :)

The first concert I went to was the biggest, Genesis at Wembley Stadium July 1987. Smallest was Bad Manners and The Quireboys at Guildford Civic Hall. I just to go all the time, but haven't been to a concert for years, though went to the Rewind Festival a couple of years ago.

Bit of a sheltered life - Simply Red at Blickling hall (in Norfolk) in 2008 i think
then i saw Meatloaf at Blickling as well - think that was 2010 but he was shocking - I was gutted that he cant sing like he used to.
Also seen a Bad Manners play a couple of gigs, once at Fat Pauly's in Norwich and once at Great Yarmouth.
