Gary numan is on at the Brighton dome tomorrow, oh i cant wait to see him, it's really going to take me back to my early teens. All in black, but going to give the black hair and lipstick a miss ;-) . Any other Gary Numan fans out there? if not who were you into and what was your favourite track of the artist.
Mine was Gary Numan - are friends electric......

Saw Adam and the Ants at the Brighton centre circa 1981...they were superb.
Saw Spandau (3 times), Depeche mode, Dexy's, Meatloaf, Levellers, ELO, Austrailian pink floyd (best tribute band ever) Deacon Blue, Belinda Carlisle, and probably a lot more....all at Brighton

Wow thats impresive but what was your favourite track ? I bet Adam and the ants were brilliant live. Spandau, i would have loved to see. I saw Human League and they were awesome.

Favourite track....only one ever worth talking about....comfortably numb by (Aussie) pink floyd. Every other song in history doesn't come close....FACT

I saw Madness in 1980, but have had the good fortune to see many bands including The Psychedelic Furs, David Bowie, Deborah Harry, Iggy Pop, The Stranglers and many more which I would need to go and look at my record/CD collection to jog my memory. I have also seen Madonna who was rubbish. I wish I could have seen Adam and the Ants though. FA, you are so lucky.

Saw Adam and the Ants too - brilliant, also the Stranglers, Clash, Elvis Costello, Who, Jam, Police, Bob Marley, Stray Cats, Killing Joke, Psychedelic Furs, Damned, XTC, Madness, Specials, Selecter, Beat, Ian Dury, Boomtown Rats (when they were good!), REM, etc....etc... those were the days when there were decent bands to see in Brighton and it only cost about the same to see a band as it did to buy an album (also in those days you could get into the Brighton Centre for free if you knew how !).

Saw Dr Feelgood a few weeks ago and they were brilliant. My body took a few days to fully recover, damned aging. They may not be the original members anymore but the Dr Feelgood attitude is still there. The best rock n roll band in the world?

The two best concerts I saw in Brighton were
(1) Rainbow in 1980 at the Brighton Centre. (No, not Zippy and Bungle!) But Ritchie Blackmore, Cozy Powell, Roger Glover, Graham Bonnett and Don Airey.
(2) A few years later it was the legendary Deep Purple.
Yes, I like ROCK

You didn't mention Karen D'ache, Bimbo. You must have seen them, presumably.

Hi Lopster, I was at the gary numan gig last night and was'nt he brilliant. Have been a fan since 14 and always wanted to see him live. Got 2 tickets from my husband for christmas and took my best friend with me. Was really surprised just how short he is, always thought he was a 6 footer. He looked good and sounded just like the old days. Now able to put a tick to his name on my wish list. Thanks hubby xx
