Dave E's Concert Archive

A passionate music fan for over 40 years, I've been to 170 concerts and festivals... and my hearing's still good! Memories might be hazy e.g. I saw Prince at Earls Court in June '92 - but which night?

This festival was the best. It had some of my favourite bands at the time. Spear of Destiny was supposed to be on but they never turned up and The Fall came back on. Brilliant time
