Undoubtedly forgotten - and deffoi not in order of preference...
1. ANTI-NOWHERE LEAGUE - Colwyn Bay Pier (Nov 1981) - life changing experience 2. DAMNED - Chester Northgate Arena (Summer 1984 or 85) - sold my ghetto blaster to get there and seen them maybe 8 or 9 times since. 3. CLASH - Deeside Leisure Centre (1979) - got to meet them afterwards on my Dad's press-pass 4. BAUHAUS - Manchester Academy (Resurrection Tour 2001) - I was too punk to see them 1st time round 5. MUSE - MEN 2003 - awesome 6. KILLING JOKE - Liverpool Acedemy - ditto 7. SUEDE - V99 (I think) - never thought much of 'em beforehand - great performance 8. THE COX - Dudley Arms (their final gig - everyone in the crowd singing the songs) 9. JARCREW - Hendre Hall 2003 - mental..! 10. THE CRAMPS - Liverpool Royal Court 1986 - not punk enough for me beforehand - a convert after this gig...

ahhh shit yea... after seeing ure list Dave i feel like makin a new one, cus i was at most of them with ya...although i would replace The Filaments at the Sheffield uni aldayer gig with Agnostic Front cus when they played "crucified" it was fuckin ace. And Neville Staples, on the last day of Wasted last year, we were nearly too fucked too walk and then they came on and the adrenalin kicked in and we were all skanking like twats!! ACE! Dead Pets, im gonna say Thatched House in Stockport the year before last, cus it was the first time id seen them sober (after seeing them around 10 times already and breaking my foot at one gig!) and realised how fucking good they were!

Cheers for reminding me about Ministry - Altzeimers is a problem now I'm in my 30s.
I saw the Clash of the Titans tour at Birmingham NEC.
At the end of Slayer's set they had this massive inverted cross lowered onto the stage. The lights on the cross fizzled out and Jeff Hanneman's wireless system cut out. He threw his guitar on the floor and stormed off stage in a mood, whilst the band played 'At Dawn they Sleep'. It seemed less evil than usual - very Spinal Tap.
Great days though - I think Jack Sharp was at that gig too.
