I think i just stood there with my mouth wide open the entire time. they were so good. i heart them. <BR/><BR/>ABC - Phoenix Underground, Seattle, WA<BR/><BR/>--Martin Fry is amazing showman. He is stylish, suave, sexy, and full of soul. ABC is so underrated. their music is complex, diverse and a heck of a lot of fun.<BR/><BR/>Pet Shop Boys - Trafalgar Square, London, UK<BR/><BR/>--This was the debut performance of their soundtrack to the silent film 'battleship potemkin' and i was lucky enough to see this on my first trip to london. i had chills throughout the entire show it was so good. that was really a special moment in my life and i will never forget it.Tadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00941877800379933601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137921139872983132.post-76475234586868507302008-04-25T15:16:00.000+01:002008-04-25T15:16:00.000+01:00been racking my brain for the past few days to rem...been racking my brain for the past few days to remember who I've seen.

The concerts that we see in our life are so significant; There was a particular Wonderstuff concert that I went to (Bescott Stadium, 91) that I learned both my future best friend and future (ex) fiance attended, along with other key people I met later in life. Love the synchronicity...SarahNKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09014175883654841485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137921139872983132.post-77490360427244849332008-04-24T12:16:00.000+01:002008-04-24T12:16:00.000+01:00I always wished I had seen Howard Jones.A guy I kn...I always wished I had seen Howard Jones.<BR/><BR/>A guy I know who had a studio in Leicester had seen the Computer World tour at De Montfort Hall. He said it had changed his life. Sold his guitars and bought synths and got into electronic music. He also said it was the best sounding concert he had ever heard, just like a really loud Hi-Fi.<BR/><BR/>I would have loved to have seen that, shame it's not on DVDNorthern Kindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012480715369543122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137921139872983132.post-5379804582132098542008-04-24T12:10:00.000+01:002008-04-24T12:10:00.000+01:00Forgot Howard Jones in 1985 (Dream Into Action Tou...Forgot Howard Jones in 1985 (Dream Into Action Tour)Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746059509290153843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137921139872983132.post-68715101360826899532008-04-24T12:09:00.000+01:002008-04-24T12:09:00.000+01:00I thought I would add my list1980 - OMD (Organisat...I thought I would add my list<BR/><BR/>1980 - OMD (Organisation Tour)<BR/>1980 - Gary Numan - (Teletour)<BR/>1981 - OMD (Architecture & Morality Tour)<BR/>1981 - Ultravox (Rage In Eden Tour)<BR/>1981 - Toyah (Anthem Tour)<BR/>1981 - Kraftwerk (Computer World Tour)<BR/>1982 - Depeche Mode (A Broken Frame Tour) <BR/>1983 - OMD (Dazzle Ships Tour)<BR/>1983 - Gary Numan (Warriors Tour)<BR/>1989 - Erasure (Wild Tour)<BR/>1984 - OMD (Junk Culture Tour)<BR/>1991 - Jommy Sommerville (Dance & Desire Tour)<BR/>1991 - Pet Shop Boys<BR/>1991 - Kraftwerk (The Mix Tour)<BR/>1991 - OMD (Sugar Tax Tour)<BR/>1993 - OMD (Liberator Tour)<BR/>1996 - Pulp (Arena Tour)<BR/>1996 - Human league (Greatest Hits Tour)<BR/>1996 - Lightning Seeds <BR/><BR/>Best 3 would have to be<BR/><BR/>1980 OMD Organisation tour because every single person at the Manchester Apollo was dancing - the atmosphere was unbelievable<BR/><BR/>1980 Gary Numan Teletour - brillian concert, superb songs and stage set<BR/><BR/>1981/2 Kraftwerk at the Manchester Free Trade Hall, I was on the 3rd row and I was blown away with there stage set (The whole studio shipped over from Germany)<BR/><BR/>GaryGaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746059509290153843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137921139872983132.post-68475675242673965692008-04-23T20:33:00.000+01:002008-04-23T20:33:00.000+01:00Interesting reading, so interesting that I couldn'...Interesting reading, so interesting that I couldn't sleep last night as my brain decided it was really important to come up with my list -<BR/><BR/>1985 Howard Jones (best bit - mad jan hammer guitar synth freak out)<BR/>1987 The Mission <BR/>1989 Front 242 (like seeing 3 Terminators on stage pointing at you)<BR/>1990 Nitzer Ebb (PA blew up after one song - Douglas McCarthy not a happy bunny).<BR/>1990 Depeche Mode<BR/>1990 Blur <BR/>1990 The Shamen (at The Anti Poll Tax Rave complete with Crusties!)<BR/>1991 Jesus Jones (x 2 @ Rock City)<BR/>1991 Kylie<BR/>1991 The Shamen <BR/>1991 Kraftwerk (@ Leicester Uni) <BR/>1992 U-U-Utah Saints!<BR/>1992?
