Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room First gig

First gig should have been Classix Nouveaux at the Portsmouth Locarno in '82, but it was cancelled. Instead had to put up with Ultravox later that year, Poole Arts Centre (I think - might have been Colston Hall, Bristol!).

Cerise, I too was at the Set Movements gig, Bristol Hippodrome '84! In between I had had my first taste of Mr Numan live, Warriors tour, Poole in '83.

No Alex it wasn't me I was upstairs to the right overlooking the stage.We had our tickets moved by the venue because of the originals restricted view.

Coooool!

Wonder if it was the same night? They played 3 dates at the Hippodrome, I can't believe I only saw one. Damn my 14-year-old self!!

I can't remember which night it was - I will have to extract my 1984 diary from the garage - I expect the ticket stub is in there somewhere, too!

the boomtowm rats in sept 1979 on the fine art of surfacing tour.
my second was hazel o'connor on october 1980, which featured a little band called duran duran as support!!

The Orb in Brighton just prior to the release of "UFOrb". Those were the days ...

My first ever live gig was,belive it or not,Ultravox,on the Vienna tour,about a month before Numans Teletour.
Now the gig was great!!,I even got to meet the band after,at 15 this was a superb thing!!,pity Midge totaly spoiled it!!.(another story and one that most of the Numos on here know already,so I wont rant on again )
I did get a few things signed(mainly tickets,done like the Vienna album),Warren was an absolute star!!

please tell it, i haven't heard it.

Quite simply,I managed to get to stay behind after the gig and meet the band,I was also given a small pile of tickets to get the band to sign(ticks had the Vienna album pic on them)I had one for the whole band to sign on the back and when Warren was asked he duely signed,then continued and sighne the rest(4 more) above his head on the front pic) the rest of the band happily signed too untill,one to get!!,I asked Midge...."Can you sign this please?"(I was 15 at the time remember)..his reply??..."Well!..If I f*****g have too!!",signed it and just about threw it back at me!!
sorta put me off them,HIM,since!! :rolleyes:

my first? Gary numan at deeside leisure centre september 24th 1980. I'll never forget being dumbstruck watching nash the slash in his bandages lol
