Napalm Death when I was about 14.
It was certainly an eye opening experience.
Plastic bottles of piss flying being thrown around in the crowd drenching everyone, stage diving aplenty, fights breaking out and the band played on indifferently.

First gigs were college do's in wxm around 76 77 , one hit wonders Edison Lighthouse and a new wave group from London called Bethnal who I think were popular on the circuit at the time..
First concert was an all day concert at the old Veitch stadium at Swansea around the same time featuring The Who, who were brilliant...
Best moment was earlier, it had been peeing down all morning can't remember the group but they played "here comes the sun" as the clouds parted and the crowd erupted.. |

Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.
Back in the mid to late 1960s I was a student at Goldsmiths' in New Cross London and Neill Innes was one of the most recognisable characters around the place.
The band appeared regularly in College 'Ball' events.
I also (later) saw Cream there at a Summer Ball. They were my introduction to supergroups of the time. |

"The Jam very early 1980s at Bingly Hall in Birmingham."
If there's 1 band I wish i could've seen in their peak it would be the jam. At the same time I'm glad they didn't do a cheesy reform and ruin it all.

Saw them about 12 times during the late 70s and early 80s, brilliant band live. |
