That’s about all I can remember of the gigs I’ve been to but there’s definitely more.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's a good list of music.

you not seen the Cure live P?

No mate

Have you?

I’d like to have seen them at Glasto but other than that they never seem to play. Plus I wouldn’t say I’m a massive fan and my mates like them but not enough to go and see them.

Iron Maiden in Manchester, Killswitch Engage supporting act
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Killswitch were everywhere for a while there. Big following over here in MA. Seen them quite a few times over the years here

I miss live music more than anything else during this pandemic. Live stream shows are good, but not a patch on alive show.

Anyway, my first show was Bob Jovi, Belfast Kings Hall, 1990.

Last show I got to see was Melvins and Red Kross earlier this year.

Favorite show was Fear Factory in the Limelight, Belfast, Halloween 2001.

Special mentions to Sleep in Portland ME about 18 months ago, Slayer/Lamb of God/Anthrax/Testament/Napalm Death in some mountain top cow shed up in NH and a gig featuring The Wildhearts and The Almighty back in Belfast in the mid 90s

Ain’t Cure gigs about 4 hours long

Their Glastonbury appearance certainly felt like it.

I didn't include artists I've seen at festivals.
