1st gig I drove to myself was Status Quo at the coliseum in 1982 ..... :shock:

I can't believe what's been allowed to happen to it :(

Bleedy 'ell - remember goin' up Crinnis.

Meatloaf, Bryan Adams - supported by T'pau who were No1 at the time, never seen so many people trying to buy tickets, Suzanne Vega plus the Custom Car shows. Not forgetting the nudist beach and Gossips nightclub with the beach being so very handy for a romantic night time walk - ahem :wink: .

I fitted a rack and top box to my GPZ750 just so I didn't have to take my helmet into the gigs with me!

Saw Status Quo, Toyah, Level 42, Tears for Fears and The Police to name the ones I can remember!!
