Great tv. I love Danny. His defence of Black Sabbath was cracking. Come on then. First gig? I reckon mine was the Cockney Rejects, an afternoon job at Brannigans and I don't remember what it cost. I'll guess 50p.

I wish I could say my first gig was Robert Rental and the Normal, they were the first band I saw but they were on the same bill as Essential Logic and Stiff Little Fingers, and it was Stiff Little Fingers I'd gone to see.Robert Rental and the Normal

It's probably not the best timing for you but there is some sort of Punk thing on at Arden Road in Halifax this Saturday, about 8 bands on GBH, Pete Carter and others, I spotted the poster today.

One gig I always remember was by a band called The 52 Americans. They played some church hall near Blenheim Square. It'll have a benefit for Chilean seals or something and there were about 10 of us but it was a great night. We were only about 11. They were probably shocking but it's just stuck with me.

The Foundations, Top Rank Doncaster in about 1972, followed by several other such groups (Drifters, Limmie and the family Cookin', Edwin Starr etc) over the next couple of years. Only really started going to other kind of gigs when I went to Pompey in 1975, Thin Lizzy as above, Queen at the Southampton Gaumont on the Night At The Opera tour.

I cant get on with him. Whilst he knows his stuff I cant be doing with his cockney geezer music hall schtick.

First gig I can remember i.e. not drunk, might have been Buzzcocks at St George's Hall, Bradford, in 77 or 78.

Catch it on i-player, thoroughly enjoyed it. Not seen the 80s one yet.

The jam Queens hall leeds September 82, solid bond tour. I was 15 yr's old and about 3 weeks. Absolutely fuckin brilliant, everything and more I hoped it would be. It made me so passionate about live music that it's something I can't do without and hope I never will. In 2012 I decided I should do 30 gigs in the year to mark the anniversary. I pissed it. Sex and drugs and rock n roll is very good indeed

Been right enjoying this, particularly the one on the 70's on Monday. I can take or leave Baker but think he comes across really well on this. Who was that nobber with the beard on the 80's one last night? Pauline Black was good though. Wonder if Baker will mention his 'legendary' nights out in the 90s with Chris Evans and Gazza tonight?

Quite. Although his Glass Spider rant was spot on.

Stevie Wonder, 1980, my old man took me with his mates down that there. Soon followed by going with my mates to see Iron Maiden at Boro Town Hall, even got backstage to see Steve Harris and Paul DiAnno in action with assorted groupies - rock n roll baby
