Rage Against The Machine - Finsbury Park 2010, X factor victory gig

Sigur Rós - Brixton 2013, cracking atmosphere they build

The Darkness - Cardiff Uni 2013, they played all of the first album, really know how to put on a show

Steel Panther - Gramercy Theater, New York, 2015. My first gig abroad and it was absolutely hilarious

Coheed and Cambria - Download 06, Kerrang Tour 08, Cardiff Uni 13 and Hevy Fest 15 - never let me down

Walter Trout - Seen him in Cardiff (Coal Exchange, The Point, The Globe x2), Swansea (The Garage) and Pontardawe (Arts Centre) hope he is well enough to come local again soon

Black Peaks - Hevy 2015, I really think they are gonna be quite big soon. So intense.

Monuments - Hevy 2015, never been in so many pits, walls of death and had so many crowdsurfers in my life - and they were note perfect and intense.

I don't keep a list so this is what I can remember:

Green Day - 3 times
Biffy Clyro - 3 times
Muse
My Chemical Romance - 3 times (wife is/was a fan, she has seen them 15 times)
Bon-Jovi - old Wembley Stadium
Robbie Williams - Knebworth
Mike TV
Jamie Lenman

I also go to festivals so have seen many others, including:

Foo Fighters
Metallica
The Libertines
Florence and the Machine
Cold Play
Beyonce
U2
Fat Boy Slim
The Darkness
Limpbizkit
Mumford and Sons
Bombay Bicycle Club
Jessie J
Gorgon City
The Blackout
Bring me the Horizon
Bastille
Imagine Dragons
Royal Blood
Electric Six

The above is what I can remember off the top of my head.

[RVVUNM]

Just the big ones;

Queen
AC/DC
ELO
Genesis
Fleetwood Mac
Deep Purple

[droopsnoot]

I don't keep a list either, but off the top of my head:

The Stranglers
Wilko Johnson
Nine Below Zero (s)
The Membranes (s)
Thompson Twins
Shriekback (s)
Howard Jones
Strawberry Switchblade (s)
Big Country
Pallas
Pendragon
Max Raptor (s)
The Rezillos (s)
The Godfathers (s)
Three Men and Black
Glenn Tilbrook

(s) means they were support bands when I saw them. I like to think that if it wasn't such a palaver to get to a decent venue, I might go and see more bands and maybe more variety.

[Ste1987]

I must have seen in excess of 300 bands over 10 years

I've seen them three times, you'll love it, possibly the best live band I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot, far too many to start writing a list here!). DG is the consummate showman (how's his leg?).

As above, my list is extensive, I started trying to write a list a few years back but gave up, every so often I hear a band from the past and remember oh yes, I've seen them too.

[thismonkeyhere]

I haven't even seen that many (I think...) but I still have trouble remembering who, when and where. I guarantee I'll remember a couple as soon as I post.

Here are some:

Eric Clapton
Bob Dylan
The Who
Motorhead
Bellowhead
Jethro Tull
Saw Doctors
Fairport Convention
Steeleye Span
Queensryche
Joan Armatrading
Bad Manners
Nik Kershaw
Average White Band
Meatloaf

...and memory then fails...

Also, add in any number of amateur, unknown and long since 'disbanded' acts, which were awesome for enjoying some drunken live music at the time, but were probably ste.


ETA - Told you! Just remembered:

Big Country
Alanis Morrissette

Probably yet more...

Highlights were...

The Police at Wembley Arena in 1983. I was only 14 and it was the first rock concert I'd been to. The noise, lights and energy just blew me away. I still love the Police to this day and still think they're the best live band ever...not including the 2007 tour though.

Alanis Morrissette at Hammersmith Odeon. I liked her albums but wasn't expecting much but the band just had so much energy and ability...I really enjoyed it.

Stone Roses at Heaton Park....the whole crowd singing 'I wanna be adored' drowned out Ian Brown, which is no bad thing.

U2 at Wembley Stadium in 87. Just perfect stadium rock. Seeing a crowd of 1000s in front of me pogoing.

David Bowie, Simple Minds both at Wembley Arena. Both major dissappointments.

Cyndi Lauper at Hammersmith Odeon...surprisingly good.
