Stone Roses at Heaton Park. Them and The Wailers on the same bill, brilliant.

Rammstein were outstanding, always have been but the last tour was a step above anything.

My Dying Bride at Damnation was pretty special show too though,

The XX at Wolves, I really liked the support who were Mmoths who I'd not heard before. Beach House at Bristol was also pretty good.

Actually, I could add "The Answer", played same venue with support from "The Union". Both bands very good.

New Order at Brixton Academy.

I'd given up all hope of ever seeing them despite being a fan since the start, so it was a delight even if hooky was absent.

That said Macy Grey at the Jazz Cafe in London was pretty close and Heaven 17 at Bournemouth O2 proved they could still put on a highly enjoyable and energetic show.

Ummming and ahing about going to see hooky in Camden soon, but off to see Polica in March, so not all wallowing in nostalgia for me.
