Bloody hell, there's some great bands in the lists. If i dig deep, i can counter with 'The Highwaymen' and i had dinner with Waylon Jennings that night...but that's the end of my claims to fame.

If its Rockwiz then my first album was Chicago '17' and it was ground breaking new technology...it was a compact disc.

[Big Rob]

Too many to remember in one session at the computer, but the standouts were;

Kiss (many times including the 1st concert in 1980)
Bruce Springsteen
Billy Joel
Queen
Fleetwood Mac (and Stevie Nicks solo)
Huey Lewis and The News
Chicago
America
And probably the best was Paul McCartney and Wings at Parramatta Stadium

Unfortunately my memory is not what it was, but there were some good ones.....

And Blocker, one of the Chilli Peppers (don't know which one) has a beach house at Congo which is a few kms south of me. One of my mates works at the airport and sees him all the time when he flies in and out. His house is pretty impressive too for a "beach house".

Some good bands listed fellas.

No doubt left some out, but off the top of my head, I've seen:

Slayer
Bullet For My Valentine
Bring Me The Horizon
Amity Affliction
Metallica
Linkin Park
A Perfect Circle
Tomahawk
Kyuss
Anthrax
Superheist
Cog
The Butterfly Effect

Various unknown pub/mates bands etc.

First album I remember owning was Midnight Oil-Diesel and Dust. Would have been about 8 or so, think my old man who was a mechanic/wrecker found the tape in a car and gave it to me. Still got it somewhere.

First album I can remember asking for when I was 10 or so was AC/DC-The Razor's Edge. Got it for xmas that year. Still got that tape as well.

Big Rob my guess at the Chilli Peppers house owner would be Flea as he is Australian.
My first album was The Steve Miller Band, The Joker. Good old tape.
When Triple J came to regional Australia it was unreal. I loved it through the mid 90's. Can't stand it now though. Listened to triple m in the 80's when I was at school though.
Human Nature..... That's my only "famous" connection sadly. Went to school with them.

Highlight for me is Dwight Yoakam at the Palais in 2012 (a real bucket list item), followed by a Painters and Dockers pub gig

Apart from that - Garth Brooks, Robbie Williams, Hoodoo Gurus, Cheap Trick, the Angels, Charley Pride

Amazing the different tastes in music here.
As I'm not a big fan of crowds I don't do many concerts.
I have seen Kiss,Bruce Springteen (thrice) I got to shake his hand!,Pink,Mental as Anything,Chain,Spectrum,The living End,AC/DC(All from Bon's Death.)
Cold Chisel in London when I was there in 1983, Madder Lake,Chivalry and Shannon Noll.
My first album? That's hard, my first Record was The pretenders, Brass in Pocket.
I think my first album was Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. On a cassette that a mate recorded for me.

This is a great thread. Plenty of nostalgia. I collect vinyl and have heaps of these bands. My first real concert was Railroad Gin with Carol Lloyd, followed by Slade at Lang Park in Brisbane. Status Quo and Lindisfarne were the support bands- about 1973.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that collects Vinyl.

Might be getting slightly off thread....but thought i'd share my 80's compilation vinyl. May as well share the embarrassment.



Tada!
