when i was in my teens which was a very long time ago.....i went to see numerous bands back in the 80's.saw depeche mode three times in the guildhall in portsmouth hampshire.i saw kajagogoo in the same place.saw new order there as well and saw paul king in southampton.can you remember any rock bands you saw when you were a teenager?xx

My son is mad on Ozzie Osbourne... he won't believe me that I saw him when he was in Black Sabbath...Also went to Hyde Park to see the Rolling Stones,.... and a few more.. Oh the memories of happy carefree days. Pat

pat i absolutely love the osbournes and watch it every friday night.some people think that it is the family from hell but i think there greatxxx

Lisa You must be just a bit younger than me. I went to see Haircut 100, Stray Cats, Showaddywaddy (LOL!), Skids, Spandau Ballet and Squeeze that I can remember Jeanette

Forgot I also went to see David Essex with the Real Thing supporting him

loved spandau ballet.still listen to alot of the old 80's music now.was a good era for mexxx

I went to see David Essex too. My friends sister was mad about him. I went to see Gilbert O'Sullivan when I was 13. George Benson several times. I was into Barry Manilow (did I really admit to that) saw him about 4 times. Got to be the same all the time at the end though. Went to see the Osmonds in the 70's. Simply Red early 90's, they were brilliant. My husband likes the Shadows I took him to see Hank Marvin on his birthday in Colchester about three years ago, and in June this year to the Hammersmith Apollo on the Shadows farewell tour. Not my sort of thing but he enjoyed it. In February we went to see Merrill Osmond in Cambridge, brilliant bit of nostalgia. Don't really get the chance much nowadays everything is usually such a long journey. Those were the days though. Diane

I saw Led Zeppelin, Genesis, David Bowie,Queen,Whitesnake,Rush,Van Halen and quite a few others. That was in the days when I was a free spirited Rock Chic with no kids and more money than I have these days (not to mention more energy). Sheila x

of course now he's a naughty man and we dont like him but back in the 80s i saw gary glitter at portsmouth guild hall. it was really good, unbelievable that he's an evil person. also saw the alarm there and level 42 on the isle of wight before they were famous! they're from there dont you know!

sheila am still a huge genisis fan and love phil collins.nearly got to see him in concert.xxxxxi think now i would really love to see robbie williams in concert and coldplay as i think their greatxx

Now I feel old! I remember seeing the following at least twice at Guildford Guildhall: Paul Young, Howard Jones and Big Country and then saw these at London and Brighton: Depeche Mode, Crowded House, A-ha, Duran Duran, OMD, ABC, Human League, The Cult, The Stranglers...... Best concerts where always Big Country. Sometimes they had 4 encores. Crista

Lisa i saw Genesis in 1978 at Knebworth when i was 16. It was the first time i had seen a laser light show (it was quite new then) and i was blown away. They were fantastic. Most recently i went to see Blondie at Newcastle City Hall and even though she's getting on a bit she put on a very energetic show lol.

Not sure about old bands when I was a teenager - I've seena few in more recent years! Only because we've all aged. David Essex - drool drool!! Seen him a few times. In the last year at senior school the drama teacher asked who would like to go and Godspell. Imagine the hands that went up for that one. Sadly she could only get us tickets for Jesus Christ Superstar so it was Paul Nicholas we saw. Not long a go I went along to the local theatre to see Alexandra O'Neal. He can still sing but not sure he was sober. He was reeling all over the place. Jane

Oh dear i must be old remember seeing Adam Faith ,Tommy Steele ,Gerry and the pacemakers and i also saw the BEATLES. Happy Days Val PS i am young at heart onestttttt.!!!!!!!

Lisa, i saw duran duran a couple of times(i was a big duranie) and saw them again in april.saw aha at portsmouth guildhall

seen loads of groups moslty rock also went to lots of festivals my fav was the elephant fair in cornwall love live music now too

yes paul i know there from the isle of wight.as for gary glitter he was an idol of mine back from the age of four when i used to have all his records and posters.glad it's not now as i would be worried for my safety.his brother used to be a band that used to play in my fathers pub.did actually look alike.

i was just pointing out that the island does have famous people! we got david ike as well! x

How about these for starters - mostly in the 70's Brinsley Schwarz Dave Edmunds Dr Feelgood Ducks Deluxe Emerson Lake & Palmer Genesis Graham Parker and the Rumour Grateful Dead Hawkwind Jack Bruce King Crimson Kinks Lindisfarne New Riders of the Purple Sage Roxy Music Thin Lizzy T.Rex Peter & Pam

i love level 42.but david ike is a little strange don't you think?x
