Who was your first big live band/solo artist/concert that you ever went to see?


Mine was - *cough cough* Leo Sayer. Aaaaagh! He was fantastic. Just like his albums.


I went with a guy I worked with in a bar, it was his idea, and being young and naive I didn't realise he had a huge crush on me.


heart beating kiss love


Found out in the taxi on the way home when he suggested another 'date'. hmmm blues


I had no feelings for him whatsover, thought we were just mates. I bolted out of that cab like my pants were on fire. doh laugh dancing


Bit embarrassed about it nowadays, think I could have handled it a bit better. teddybear

No way. Ralf and I used to go to the Playpen all the time. Some good times had there. You'll have to ask Ralf about how she swept herself off her feet. rolling on the floor laughing

First concert I went to was John Farnham in Cairns. I think at the show grounds. Was about 14 or 15.
