Not been to many, well, one - so it was the best I've been to. Aerosmith with Shed 7 supporting at the NEC. Rick Whitter put me and a chick form my local on the guest list - pretty cool rocking up and passing the long queues to walk straight through, rock and roll baby
Midnight Oil at the Town and Country club, I think in Kentish town? On my wishlist? Where do you start? LZ, SRV? Too hard...
Ah yes Motörhead b’ham odeon saw them I recall they played 3 nights on the bounce great band live. Stafford Bingley hall aka ‘the cowshed’ saw Whitesnake there epic.
Too many to mention from Hawkwind when I was 12yo, through to bands more recently like Vintage Trouble, Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Blockheads, Shed 7, Mike & The Mechanics etc. All fantastic in their own way. The only one I’d say was shit was Roy Wood & Wizzard. Utter shite. Oh and Elbow last year when every song sounded the same.
The Jam Bingley Hall Birmingham circa 1980. Energy at a gig the like of which i have never seen since. Neil Young at Manchester Apollo - sat right on the front row and he did half the gig as solo acoustic and half proper rocking band. A truly memorable night. Oasis- Loch Lomond. Roger McGuinn of the Byrds, in a tiny old church in Worcester. Played many Byrds hits solo on his Rickenbacker. Paul Weller - Royal Festival Hall just 18 months ago. Lots of others i could mention too.
I saw U2 in 1983 at a small theatre in Liverpool, before they got BIG, not stop pogoing, superb. Then there was John Lydon 6 years ago, again superb. For pure emotion it has to be Kate Bush 2014, for me, pure magic.
You are sooo lucky to have gotten tickets for Kate Bush. They sold out in less than 90 seconds of going on sale, according to my bro'law.
it was in Kentish Town, then became The Forum, not sure what it’s called now but still going, great venue.
Seen many good gigs , but the one that stands out for me was Simple Minds at Milton Keynes bowl in June 1986, backing from the Cult and the Waterboys...awesome for the impressionable young(ish) man that i was at the time.
Saw Elvis Costello a few years in Sligo, boy you really get your monies worth, it was encore after encore after encore It was a good gig but I was glad when he finally finished.
Tune yards in a dirty little sweaty underground venue in Mcr I don’t know how she. Merrill Garbus the lead singer, managed to carry on when people were passing out and being carried out due to the heat! Good gig.
I think I was there. Saw the Minds at MK bowl but can’t remember the year. Big Audio Dynamite also we’re on the bill?
Yes possibly...its a long time ago , the Cult stuck in my mind cos Ian Astbury tripped over his mike stand and went arse over tit!
Guns n Roses at Wembley 1992 with Soundgarden and possibly Faith no More was another superb concert. We were right at the front, brilliant. I also saw them at the Milton Keynes Bowl with The Cult, god knows when that was..
Rammstein. AC/DC. Airbourne All at Download different years. Joel climbing the stage was unreal to watch bearing in mind it was pouring with rain.
Had to Google it. 2 consecutive days. You saw (21 June): Simple Minds Bangles The Cult The Waterboys In Tua Nua I saw (22 June): Simple Minds Big Audio Dynamite Dr and the Medics Lloyd Cole and the Commotions The Waterboys
