My first concert was A-ha and my first albums were Madonna, The First Album and Like a Virgin. Even as a youngster I was too tight to buy singles. Albums offered more value for money!
The worst concert I ever went to was Elton John. It was the early 90’s and he was doing his ‘The One’ tour. He’d just started wearing a wig and, as I think most people know, Elton can be rather touchy about his hair, amongst many things. Anyway, he comes on stage and does the first couple of songs, then has a chat with the audience, seemingly in good spirits. Then he announces what song he is going to do next and, in that very short space of silence while everyone gets ready to play somebody in the audience bellowed ‘GET THAT FUCKING WIG OFF!’ There was a sharp intake of breath by the entire audience, it was so loud and he obviously heard it because, even though it was in an arena, you could feel the atmosphere shift and Elton changed. He didn’t kick off, but he went through all his set list one after the other, no more chat to the audience, just very business like, banged them all out and then at the end jumped off his piano stool, straight off stage and onto his waiting helicopter and buggered off. No encore, nothing. And the moral of this story is, don’t mention Elton’s syrup at a concert.

. And it actually turned out he was the nutter as he used to drive round in a taxi pretending he was out doing jobs, when in fact he was driving up to dogging sites in it shagging about and just generally being a massive wanker. Glad she got rid of him. Sorry for de railing the thread
