Used to go to many many live gigs and festivals, put perimenopause has put paid to that, my anxiety in big crowds now spoils it for me (plus these days all the vaping)

We went so often that I've seen most heavy rock and metal, been lucky enough to see a big proportion of 80s big names over the years,  ACDC, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Kiss, Bon Jovi, Saxon, Helloween, Poison, Judas Preist, Black Sabbath, too many to name.
Lots of festivals including Download, many other smaller festivals. Loved them.
Also seen a few of the New Country stars in America.

Last gig was Bruce Springsteen last year saw him twice - in London and Sunderland,

I won't ever go to a big venue again sadly.

Funny Bruce was the last big gig I went to.

Although do go to local stuff....saw Paddy McGuinness last year.

Never heard Bon Jovi live....but have seen him in person.  Stayed in the same hotel on my honeymoon.  Could not understand why there were always girls outside hotel and we stayed on top floor and a guard was outside lift.  Seem he was in the suite lower down.....just remember a wave and a smile, and that he was not very tall :)

But in the past Chicago, Carpenters. The Bee Gees, Hollies, The Who Status Quo Kinks and David Bowie. Meatloaf and James I think old timers is kicking because I have gone black...then of course Brucie a few times.

Wow that's AMAZING!!!  You must have been in fabulous hotel!  :D And YOU were in the better suite too! Cool!!!  :D

Tempted by Bruce on his new tour but nah, cannot face it.
These days happy watching a full concert at home with a little drinkie. Last one we saw was Kenny Chesney at the Sphere in Las Vegas!  (Kenny Chesney = huge huge huge country music star in America, apologies if you HAVE heard of him :)

Yep I have heard of Kenny Chesney....just remembered I saw Reba McEntire in Manchester - what a voice country gal who's Great Grand dad was from Macclesfield.

I enjoy watching the festivals on the TV but I'm not a fan of crowds and when I see 100,000 + people lumped together my first thought is .....where are the loos and will I ever find my husband again when I go  :-\. I would just panic in the middle of all those people - wish it wasn't the case.

Have seen ABC with orchestra several times (Lexicon of Love) and it gives me goosebumps. Love it. Prefer a smaller indoor concert to the stadiums.
