Very jealous... mine was Floyd at the old Wembley, delicate sound of thunder tour"
I'm envious that you saw Pink Floyd.

"Thin lizzy at Hammersmith odeon 1978.
Never forgotten. "
I have to say thin Lizzy are awesome live. I saw them a couple of years ago. They were the support act to guns n roses, who were ok but nothing special. |

Motorhead merry bastard Xmas tour in hamerstead.. sat reading karrang on Friday night in pub in Wales, then suddenly in a car heading to the gig.
Got kicked out of my house and life changed lots.
Wiggles was a concert in communist Poland she tried to sneak into, via a military base, where she got caught by the guard's as she hung on the fence because her jumper was caught on barn wire. |

There and to the left a bit |
There are a few that I couldn't separate:
Madness - Hemel Hempstead Pavillions - Nov 81 - my first gig never forgotten it.
The Beat - Hammersmith Palais - Oct 82 - They blew the roof off that night and played an extra long set as Roddy Frame of Aztec Camera (one of the supports, the other was The Alarm) stomped off stage in a huff half way through his set.
Madness - Madstock - Finsbury Park - Aug 92 - Their first gig back after 6 years - the atmosphere was electric and grown men were moved to tears. There was also an earthquake due to all the moonstomping!!
Muse - The O2 - April 16 - Just bloody brilliant - amazing set, amazing stage - we were one off the barrier.
Biffy Clyro - Belfast SSE Arena - Nov 16 - Second time seeing them in two days after Dublin the night before - we were on the barrier centre stage and they were awesome. |

"MSP millennium concert, and holy bible tour.
And Michael Jackson. Many many years ago. "
Saw manics at Glastonbury '94 about 2 months before THB came out, they had all the military gear on and played all the singles from it. That gig made me a fan, thought they were a bit Bon jovi before that.
Saw them couple of years ago on THB anniversary tour, they were even better than the Glastonbury gig. |

Red Hot Chilli's in Manchester supported by James Brown was pretty good.
The Levellers at a family wedding were pretty good too.
And Linkin Park at Download about 10 years ago ish. Watched that from the side of the stage |

Muse - always guaranteed a good night.
Guess the best night was a Rolling Stones tribute called 'The Stones'
I'd like to say seeing Nirvana in the early 90's at the Hummingbird in Brum was a highlight but I hated it.
James were cool though.

Any time I've seen Five Finger Death Punch
Or, surprisingly, Scissor Sisters. Amazing live. |

Couldn't agree more always put on a fantastic show - we've seen them four times now all great, although the first time we saw them (Wembley 2010 - I think - with Lily Allen as support) was ruined by a bunch of twentysomethings right in front of our, very good, position, who decided they wanted their very own slamming mosh pit that got so violent we had to move!! |

Ian Dury & The Blockheads @ The Town & Country Club 1988ish.
Van Morrison @ Nells Jazz Club 2015.

I can't decide which was best. |

No never got to see Nirvana. Had tickets for them at reading but gave them to my brother instead as he was a massive fan. I thought they'd be plenty of other opportunities to see them. |

Rammstein, at various venues, each and every time they are fantastic.
Maybe the time at Nottingham was my fave and that was because I decided to wear a Lolita style satin dress with lots of frilly underskirts and rather bizarre makeup. Everyone else was wearing the regulation "heavy rock" uniform of black, band t-shirts and jeans. People kept asking me to pose for pictures with them and when I actually got to sit down in my seat, my dress and underskirts were so big they rested on the top of the man in fronts head |

Seen quite few decent (and some shite) bands in my time...
Oasis was the best atmosphere
Paul McCartney was a 2 hour sing along which was amazing
Cast always put on a good show and ocean colour scene were great
But probably my personal favourite would be fleetwood mac
By far the worst gig I've ever seen was kanye West at Glastonbury |

We talking about U2?
It doesn't matter. Stone roses/U2 might be shite, there still some of the best most popular bands out there, voted some of the best contcerys ever.
The spike island I would have loved to have gone (I wasn't into them at the time) as most fans say how good it was.
I'm not the biggest U2 fan, I think they're over rated for what they do musically. But, their concerts are pretty awesome. The pop mart tour and ZooTv were quite successful.  |

Carter were fucking brilliant live, other than festivals I only missed 1 gig after they got back together in 2007 and everyone of them was brilliant. My favourite was the secret gig they did in King Tuts, that was fucking mental |

The best gig I have ever seen by far was Billy Bragg, Mick Jones (The Clash), Wayne Kramer (MC5) and one of the Foo Fighters playing Jail guitar doors, kick out the jamms and a handful of other songs in a pub in Camden. |

Was never much of a Bruce Springsteen fan but I was invited to a gig at Hyde Park in 2012. He was amazeballs and that changed how I seen him. Great to see Paul McCartney come out and join him cause I'm a big Beatles fan too. |

David gray in tilburg, circa2003, was brilliant, on a par with take that,with a relatively then unknown Lady Gaga at Wembley 2008 for my daughters birthday present in my mates private box, what a day. If it is just music,then Dance Valley near Haarlem tops everything. |
