Thought this would be an interesting thread, what and where was your first gig...
Mine was Thunder @ the Aston Villa Lesuire Centre in 1995 on the behind closed doors tour! support was from the amazing Skin (who blew me away!) also caught them on the Lucky tour at the Wulfrun in Wolverhampton!
Actually the band i've seen most times live is probably Thunder, remember getting very emotional when they played Love walked in on their final tour (giving the game away!) with support from the magnificent Kick!

My very first gig was in Belgium when I was 12 yrs old. I went with my bro' to see Gillan, with support coming from Tygers Of Pan Tang. They had a very young John Sykes on lead guitar at the time  |

I would have loved to see Thin Lizzy before Phil Lynott passed!
