Well, I have seen Bauhaus live, in Brixton, London 1998. It was one of the best concerts I've been to. However, I am envious of a friend who saw them live in Athens in 1981!!! Meh, you can't have everything.

Another great show was, surprisingly, The Misison, again in London, I think it was 1999.

VNV Nation rawked in Athens a couple of years back, while their London concert in, I think, 1999 sucked. Apoptygma Berzerk on the other hand were great in London and sucked in Athens.

Depeche Mode in Wembley Arena, London 2001 were amazing. Fad Gadget who opened for them were awful.

Diary of Dreams. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G in both shows I've attended, both in Athens.

The Fun Lovin' Criminals. What can I say? I've seen them live 4 times, and they always RAWK. Multiple orgasms caused by watching Huey Morgan do his thang added an extra pleasure, of course.

The Cure, London Astoria 2000 if I remember correctly. Small venue, great show. They played 100 Years and it felt like we were in the 80s again. Also in Athens, 1996, but that concert was not that great.

Dead Can Dance in Athens, waaaay back. Dreamy.

The Smashing Pumpkins played very well in Athens 1997 (?) and the Cramps... oh The Cramps.... Poison Ivy rawks! (Athens 1997)

I've also seen Siouxsie and The Banshees in Athens 1998 but it was a terrible concert. She was bored to death and it was like she was doing us a favour and we should be so thankful that she was standing there.

Another disappointing concert was Death in June in London 1998. Too much percussion for my taste.

There were more but I can't remember them at the moment. I am not 100% sure for most of the dates I mention... sorry. I keep all the tickets though, so maybe I'll go check and list them properly.

Oh! my very first concert was... ta da! Simply Red in 1992 I believe...
I definately lose goth points for that. :oops:
