Who have you actually paid to go and see in concert?

I went to see Five in December 2000, and am going to see Blue this December (not that I like them anymore but I did a few months ago when I booked the tickets :rolleyes: ) Ive been to see Wet Wet Wet as well but that was when I was about 10, and it was only to keep my mum company, honest! Ive seen more than that but only at free gigs like Radio 1 roadshow, and One Big Sunday etc.

    In no particular order (and not including festivals because that is cheating, lol):

    Bon Jovi (with support from Toploader and the Dum Dums)
    Reel Big Fish
    New Found Glory (support from Fenix TX and RX Bandits)
    Fenix TX (support from RX Bandits and some other shite band)
    Greenday (support from Pinhole (who?!))
    Save Ferris (support from Lightyear)

    Not many bands play in the north east, and if they do they're usually lesser known.

    I've seen 100s of lesser known bands whilst touring with my boyfriends band, including Gash (top blokes!) 4ft Fingers, Nerve, King Prawn, Da Skywalkers, Five Knuckle, Capdown, Consumed, Lubby Nugget and One Car Pile Up. Erm, anyone heard of these bands?
