Title says it all really, was at the Killers gig in Newcastle before Christmas, which was simply incredible, and now just watching Pulse by the Floyd on youtube, got me wondering. If you could go back to any gig to be there, which one would you choose, and why??

I would go back to the Black Sabbath concert in The Cosmo, Carlisle in 1974. East of Eden were also on the bill. It was the most momentous moment of my life.
It was at that concert that a fresh-faced beautiful girl came over and chatted me up. Still together!

Not exactly a gig but

Opening night of Cosi Fan Tutte at La Scala, Milan, November 2007.
We were there on honeymoon and we found out Mrs H was pregnant the next morning.

I o W 1970.
Age 14, two of us played the old 'staying at mates house' routine on each others parents and wnt to the I o W Festival, where a certain Mr J Hendrix, among others was appearing.

I was in my thirties before I owned up to me Mam!

Better in hindsight: a bit scary at age 14!

I can't decide..it's one of either -

'The Who & Friends Put The Boot In' at Charlton Athletic in the 1976. Amazing concert with a full day line up. Can't remember exactly who was on the bill, but I do remember Little Feat, Sensational Alex Harvey Band & The Who including Loonie Moon. Drove down from Cheshire in my Mother's Spitfire.

or..........

Bowie - Serious Moonlight Tour in Paris with the lady who is now my wife. That would have been in June 83. Coach from Victoria to Paris, night in Paris hotel, concert next day them long trek back.

Queen at Knebworth in around 85-86. The last time the band played a major UK venue with Freddie.

either...
Emerson Lake & Palmer at the Hammersmith Odeon (Tarkus on stage!!)
or
Led Zep at the Ally Pally

both around 1975

Monsters of Rock at Donnington 1983 - Whitesnake using closed East Midlands Airport so they could use 4 helicopters to do the light show, we also had Cozy Powell doing the 1812 overture on drums, it was my first festival.

Any David Bowie anywhere but especially during Ziggy era when I just used to stand in awe.

Muse at Nimes amphitheatre 2008.

Springsteen at Wembley.......1986 (?)
