I used to go to the Marquee Club in London so too many to mention who were popular in the 60s but after that:
Joe Brown
Bee Gees at Batley Social Club whilst everyone was munching their fish and chips...lol
Elton John in Germany
The Beatles in 1964 ticket cost 7/6d
The Stones during 'the bigger bang' tour and they were FANTASTIC
Rod Stewart
The Kooks (crap)
The Pretenders
David Essex

I had tickets for the Who in Germany but had to fly home and missed them which I really regret.

Going to show my age here - and I wish I'd kept my membership card of The Cavern Club, it could've been worth something now.

I can recall seeing

The Quarrymen in Liverpool - the forerunner of the Beatles
The Beatles (as they became - I could hardly hear them above screams)
The Swinging Blue Jeans
Gerry & the Pacemakers
Dave Berry
The Dave Clark Five
The Kinks
Gene Pitney
Marianne Faithfull
The Supremes
Status Quo (superb)
Tina Turner
Bryan Adams
Black-eyed Peas

I'm pretty sure I caught other groups in Liverpool but my mind's gone blank - it's the age, you know.

Well as it was me mentioning my first concert on the Welsh thread then I think I'd better add my concerts.

My first was with my granddaughter when she was 8yrs old and that is when I took her to see Gareth gates with Will Young and Zoe Birkett at Sheffield 2002.

My only other concert was Russell Watson last year at LLangollen Eisteddfod.

Diane

Hello Diane & Joy:))

Yep it was you Diane....well done, this has been interesting:))

Joy....wow....the Beatles before they were the Beatles and The Beatles:)))
