Man I used to listen to Fugazi and the Melvins constantly. Still and always will love them.
Think it, be it.

I still can't believe Fugazi haven't reunited, frankly when we need them most.

@IrishHeart that’s awesome! I only got to see him that one time. Wish it had been more
One of my first gigs was Bowie on the Aladdin Sane/Ziggy Stardust tour in 1973. A mate and I caught the train into Birmingham and as we made our way to the venue, more and more Ziggy Stardust lookalikes joined the madding throng. As a couple of gauche 15-year-olds it was all a bit overwhelming and we wished we too had dressed up. Then, when Bowie came onto the stage as Alladin Sane, all the Ziggy's looked a bit outdated, and we felt a little less gauche.....

My mind went straight to Christian Bale first attending the Bowie show in Velvet Goldmine

I sadly never got to see Bowie. If I could pick an era it'd probably be 77-80ish. Scary Monsters would've been an epic tour but as far as I know, he opted out from touring it after John Lennon was killed.

@Giles I’m envious. I think we’re of a similar vintage but I didn’t get to see him until 78 at Bingley Hall in Stafford.
Birmingham Town Hall FTW

@Giles great venue, and I was down there just a few weeks ago to see a comedian.
We probably attended some of the same gigs at the New St Odeon! -
@endo outstanding line up
-
One of my most memorable shows was Bad Religion in front of probably 100 people, a special show for a german radio station.
I have the recording of it somewhere, you can hear me requesting a song they couldn't play. Good fun... -
@mclaincausey yeah dude! We should catch one of these old school bands next time a cool one comes through.
