    I am 50 years old. I blew my knees out years ago, walking through San Francisco. This year I did a big trip, I did Wacken Open Air, Brutal Assault and Sabaton Open Air. Afterwards, we rushed to Norway and saw Rammstein. I did all this thinking it's my last chance to physically be able to survive weeks in tents. Probably true. Rammstein in Oslo was far and away the best gig i have ever seen. Every 2 seconds something blew up, or there were lights or smoke. I can't imagine they'd ever bring all that gear to Australia if they tour, so I was very glad to get to see them in Europe What was your best gig ever?

          Never heard of Bucks Fizz either, but after searching for it, it may not have anything in common :) Buckshot LeFonque (band name) was an attempt by Branford Marsalis to mix jazz, soul, rock & hip-hop musics alltogether.

                I started out coding, eventually had juniors join me, but from scratch, in VB6 (C# was not yet released), on South Africa's first online mortgage origination and real estate listing system. It became so successful that it was investigate by our Competition Commission as the was possible collusion with all the big banks to use only my system. It was also my very first paid gig, and when I finished there, some two years later, I started work at bank, on their application that receives mortgage applications from my old system. Then I rewrote the app from VB6 into C#.

                    Even though I know I'm going to be flamed for this, one of the most memorable gigs was Nickelback, 2008 at RDS Simmonscourt, Dublin. Basically a mid-size tent on a parking lot, wonderful crowd, beer, and excellent rock.

                          Motorhead at the Odeon, Hammersmith, on the Bomber tour was pretty "Whoah!". The lighting rig, shaped like a WWII bomber, looked terrific. When they played Bomber and the rig started diving, banking and turning, you just thought, "oh, yes!". Then the rig's nose landed, Lemmy climbed into it, and it started climbing and flying again while Lemmy continued paying the bass, curly cable hanging down to his amps. Health and Safety? Ha!.

                              It reminds me of the definition of selfish: selfish: defines someone who does not think of me.

                                  1987. Rush at Birmingham NEC. They recorded that concert and released it as A Show of Hands.

                                  Awesome. Did a dozen Rush concerts. The one in the second row was the best just due to the perspective.

                                    ELO at LCA in Detroit 2018. Just sooo good. Went back for more in 2019 and took some young, impressionable, relatives for a rock and roll brain cleansing.
