"My chemical romance.....FANTASTIC !!! Or (not a big name or anything....) the bogus brothers....." I saw My Chemical Romance when they were supporting Thursday. They hadn’t even released their first album in the UK, yet. They were flogging copies of it at the back of the hall, and I was impressed enough to buy it. | |||
"The Flaming Lips. Every single time I've seen them " I was thinking this. I saw them in a tiny tent at Glastonbury when they were largely unknown. I liked the one song I knew, but remember after 30 seconds going “holy s**t” .
Seen them many times too. | |||
"Sugarbabes (Heidi Range era) live were surprising. I wasn’t expecting much but they were good live and really could sing." and they were hot as ffk to I met them briefly with some colleagues in the lounge in Dublin Airport, Keisha was well sound, | |||
"Might sound strange but I didn't expect the prodigy to be so damn good live....just after fat of the land came out" At the Manchester Academy? I was at that gig. Got fireworks shot into us by some scrotes on push bikes, from the housing estate opposite, while we waited outside. We thought it was part of the show until they started firing directly at us. One banged right next to a guy’s head and singed all his hair. Dangerous! The Prodigy were awesome, though! | |||

"I have seen hundreds of bands and artists in my time. From Billy Bragg to Botch, Robyn to Raging Speedhorn, Modest Mouse to Morrissey. Some one-hit-wonders to some seminal and incredibly important artists. Pop acts, punk acts, pink acts, and some of the heaviest mathcore going. I’ve been to quiet gigs that could have done with a good cushioned seating arrangement, to hardcore punk gigs where, if you didn’t leave with a bloody nose, a black eye, and a few broken ribs, you weren’t trying hard enough. But, for me, the most mind blowing gig wasn’t having my face melted off at a Sunn o))) gig, or watching the singer from Taproot climb up to the stalls of the Manchester Academy, and throw himself off into the crowd, below. Nor was it watching the singer from Raging Speedhorn pull a guy’s shoes off and throw him into the incredibly violent mosh pit to get stamped on because he kept getting up on stage and getting in the way (it was a tiny stage). While all of these gigs were incredibly noteworthy, it was a gig for a couple of indie bands in the 90’s that I always look back on with fondness. I had tickets to see Shed Seven with Puressence as the supporting act at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, in Oldham, yeeeeeeears ago... like, 1998/9. I must have been about 19. I knew and liked both bands but, I had never seen either of them live. Puressence came on and the place erupted. They were absolutely spectacular! I was right down at the front, in the pit, and the whole crowd were going crazy... all for a support band! At one point, the singer stood at the front of the stage and said, “I never thought I’d say this but, COME ON, OLDHAM!” He must have appreciated how hyped up the crowd were too. It was just a happy, energetic riot, and it was mind-blowing! They finished their set, and I said to my mate, “Bloody hell, Shed Seven have some big shoes to fill, now!” And then Shed Seven came on and performed one of the best gigs I’ve ever been lucky enough to see. Front to the back, heads were bouncing up and down as the entire crown were jumping. The whole night was so full of energy. I was soaked through by the end of it. If that night didn’t cause some structural damage to the Queen Elizabeth Hall, I’d be very surprised. Well done to everyone who were in attendance - you made a nerdy teenager very happy." I really enjoyed reading that | |||

"For me it was Rammstein, I had heard their music for a long time. Seeing them in concert took it to another level, pyrotechnics, flame throwers and a foam machine. See how how the germans crowd surf, in an inflatable!" Lethal bizzle - not a band but ended up going to see him live with a mate and he was incredible | |||
