Your best gig ever...
Jump to: Newest in thread
Following on from the album theme... Glad to find so many music loving soul mates...
And in the absence of any live music for so long... Gigs are things I miss the most in all of this.
So what was your best ever gig (OK top 5) and why?
Mine...
Wycombe Town Hall... The jam 1977...my first ever gig... I was underage, excited beyond reason, 1st in the queue and they blew my socks off supported by the new hearts and the jolt.
A close second was miles kane at the institute in Birmingham a few seasons ago... The atmosphere was electric, energetic, great tunes, great venue
Any memories folks? |

"May 19 ..1973 .... earl's court...pink Floyd playing the dark side of the moon ...live for the first time including the plane crashing into the stage  "
OK so you might know the answer to the year on this... Motorhead at Wycombe Town Hall again... Took my first ever girl hoping for a kiss or whatever I did as a teen... Tried to impress her by sticking my head in the bass bin.... (you can guess the rest). I'm pretty sure they were borrowing pink Floyd's tour PA as they were supporting them.... Probably 77 maybe 78? |

Madness - Finsbury Park 8th August 1992 - their first gig in 6 years, everything about that day was special, you could cut the atmosphere with a knife when they hit the stage and proceeded to literally cause an earthquake which registered on the Richter scale
The Beat - Hammersmith Palais - October 1982 - The Alarm and Aztec Camera were support, the latter walked off as they didn't go down well so the headline act played longer and blew the roof off.
Green Day - Hyde Park - July 2017 - absolutely superb gig, had the audience in the palm of their hand from start to finish, made all the more special by it being my daughters favourite band and first time of seeing them.
Muse - Etihad and Emirates - 2014 - amazing show, the sound, the stage set, the theatrics - any Muse gig is so much more than just a gig, it's an experience.
Biffy Clyro - Dublin and Belfast - November 2016 - wasn't a fan before the first gig in Dublin, but they blew me away so much, got tickets for Belfast the next night where ended up on the barrier and got blown away again.
Madness - Light Bar, London - May 2009 - was the launch party for their new album, in a small intimate venue for invited guests only and such a special experience to be privileged to be there. |

I only do comedy gigs, not music, but one of the best I've been to featured Ian D Montfort, Tom Binns and Ivan Brackenbury. It was a triple headliner and I was laughing so hard my ribs hurt. The best part is, that all 3 acts are the same person.  |

Paul Weller in Leicester. PA broke down and everyone sang broken stones with Steve white drumming. Amazing atmosphere. Then coming out into a summer thunder storm and driving home with lightening going off all the way.  |

"Green Day at Milton Keynes in 2005 was my personal favourite, over 60,000 there - the atmosphere was amazing"
So jealous! We actually got the DVD!
Personally Frank Turner, at a small gig of around 50 people in Kendal.
Also, The Long Road Fest was pretty awesome, full weekend of family friendly entertainment, food and fun! |

The Specials in 2009 at Brixton Academy...I still get goosebumps thinking about the opening of that show. I ended up being shoved right into the mosh pit, lost a shoe, and literally had to wring my shirt out when we got out

The Wildhearts, Therapy? and The Glitterati at Rock City in 2004.
I was initially saddened when I heard Backyard Babies had dropped out, but then Therapy? were added
Such a great night. Almost died from dancing (aka jumping about like a nutter) through the entire thing.
Looking forward to future nights like that. |

The curtain dropping almost in synch with JB's drum opening
Neville giving it large and the whole band really tight and up for it - certainly a night I never thought I'd witness |

Was a blistering night for sure although bizarrely one I always forget when I make my gig lists for threads like this - can't decide if I want to see them again now it's just the three of them though |

"Hmmm, I think I'm in the no camp for that - it's not right without Neville "
That's mostly where I'm leaning and not just because of Neville - even without JD it wasn't quite right although the keyboardist was pretty good as it turned out |

"Bob Marley Exodus tour, Ninian Park Cardiff.
I've seen Damien Marley several times I'd have loved to have seen his dad!
Fleetwood Mac, U2, Oasis, Jimmy Cliff were all incredible gigs.. "
I was working in the music business at the time, building huge PA systems. Bob played the entire Exodus set, then played it all again because he reckoned we hadn't listened properly the first time. |

Korn - 20th Anniversary show in Brixton - they played their debut album only
The Orb - Reading late 90’s off my tits on acid
Twelve Foot Ninja - Camden 2018? Got to meet the band and be backstage with them during the show
Osdorp Posse - Pinkpop 1995/6 - Amazing crowd interaction, very atmospheric show
Metalica - Summer sanitarium show in 2000. James Herfield couldn’t make it so all the other line up singers took turns taking his place. Once in a lifetime show.

U2 elevation tour 2001, Earls Court.
I don’t do concerts very often at all and this was my first big one. Went with a friend who was a big U2 fan and we camped out to get places inside “the heart” walkway.
Was truly awesome |

Foo fighters at the O2 in 2007. Couldn't hear anything properly for two days afterwards! Serj Tankian of System of a Down fame was the supporting act and Queen were the special guests. Unbelievable gig!

The Allman Bros band, the beacon theatre, no1 jammed like they did,
The black crows in Dublin, just because it was my first ever gig,
Sasha + Dig Twilo NYC, last Friday of every month back in the day, seriously great gigs,
I'm sure I'll say later I forgot such and such but for now they spring to mind. |
