Venues like the Marquee, the Astoria, and a few places in Camden were good places to see big artists in comfort. 100 Club of course as well. I saw Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Mötley Crue and many others in small venues, so much better. OK, Marquee got a bit squishy but better than a Wembley Arena or stadium.

I’ve been to many great concerts but the very best was R.E.M at Lancashire County Cricket Club quite a few years ago.

The Happy Mondays at the Hacienda around 87 or 88 was mindblowing.

ETA
I'd seen them twice before that year , Leicester Poly and Finsbury Park, where the sounds a lot like other indy bands but by the time I saw them at the Hacienda they'd met Oakenfold etc and become part of that Manchester dance scene.

Abba in Stafford round about 1977 (unsure of year but before I got married in 78 and after they won Eurovision in 74) and The Who in about 75, also in Stafford. Both brilliant and surprisingly affordable in those days.
