philjay Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Just having a laugh here. Years ago we decided to make a list of all the bands we have seen over the years, then we lost it. I was just looking for something in a drawer that's not been opened for yonks and whehey our list was in the bottom. Ive just typed it out on the pc and added a few that weve seen since but its not complete by any means, we have seen loads of tribute bands but these haven't been included as that's cheating Its no wonder my hearing is shot AC/DC Hawkwind Blue Oyster Cult Budgie Gillan Quartz Rainbow Motorhead Man Police Babe Ruth Genesis Refuge (from The Nice) Saxon Thin Lizzy Tigers of Pantang Strider Molly Hatchett Climax Blues Band Steve Hackett Wild Hosrses Peter Gabriel G Force Nils Lofgren Scorpions Riot Touch Broken House April Wine Samson Judas Priest Grand Prix John Miles Angel City Stackridge Pat Travers Band Chas & Dave (yes really) Fischer Z Iron Maiden O Band UFO Krokus Magnum Rory Gallagher Def Leppard Cheap Trick Slade Sassafrass Terra Nova Zaine Griff Nine Below Zero Wilko Johnson Band Bram Tchaikovsky Michael Schecter Band Jethro Tull Led Zeppelin The Tourists Gary Moore Marillion Rammsteain New Barbarians (Stones) The Pogues Mammas Boys Hammsters This doesn't include any classical stuff, I used to have a season ticket for symphony hall and have seen loads of big orchestras and performers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cazz Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I've seen the bootleg Beatles, and they don't count. :-/ Does a solid silver sixties night count? It was the original members from various groups, but in the late 90's. I still have my hearing. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Has anyone else seen Barclay James Harvest ?? My favourite 70's band! Seen Pink Floyd at Earl's Court, Cream at the Albert Hall and lately Whitesnake, Thunder and Journey at Nottingham Arena. Saw the Who, Animals and Yardbirds in the 60's as well!
