best live concert you've attended?

[Deantdi]

ok folks,who in your opinion gives the best live performances .

I've been to a few in my time,really rated Neil Diamond at the O2 earlier this year was good.

Also am seeing some former members of ELO tomorrow at a smaller venue,which i'm looking forward to. anyone else seen them?

Who would you rate as a good experience?

[Jasandjules]

Bryan Adams.

[Gentleman Geoff]

Muse. No other band I've seen has come close.

[lord summerisle]

Blaze - Sheffield Corporation, back in 2000 - tiny gig, but the band on their first tour after Blaze left maiden, first time i saw them. cracking gig!
Saw Blaze many times after that - but the first gig was special.

[RDM]

Currently I would say Rammstein give one of the best live performances, although I doubt
if a Neil Diamond/ ELO fan would agree!

Possibly Roy Harper at Fibbers in York, stunning gig marred only by some scrote breaking into the car via the drivers side window and having to drive 200 miles back home when it was -2C outside.

Maybe Michelle shocked at Oxford Zodiac.

Possibly the Pogues at Brixton academy about four years back.

If you can narrow it down to just one then you've not been to enough gigs

[crofty1984]

Muse at Leeds festival
Guns n Roses at hammersmith Apollo
Rage against the machine at leeds
Reef in Doncaster dome
Presidents of the USA in Leeds met
Placebo at Sheffield uni

Musician wise, Kings of Leon are phenomenal, but fairly boring to watch

[fathomfive]

The Charlatans - Middlesbrough Town Hall a couple of years back. Awesome.

Hmmm, guns n roses at milton keynes bowl, iron maiden just after nico mcbrain joined rate fairly high, but for me it has to be blackfoot at the demontfort about 25 years ago!

[Ferg]

Thin Lizzy - Ipswich Gaumont
Hanoi Rocks - Cambridge Sea Cadets Hall
Eddie and The Hot Rods - The Oysterfleet Hotel, Canvey Island
New Town Kings - Colchester Arts Centre
The Ramones - Essex SU Dancehall
U2 - Ipswich Gaumont

Koopa - The Twist, Colchester

Anyone live, anywhere small.

[Steamer]

Nickelback - just last month... Awesome!!

[s2art]

Queen, Brussels.
Pink Floyd, the Wall, Earls court.

[wargriff]

had the luck to see U2 in concert in cardiff..they were supported by Star Sailor and The Killers...was a good evening and all 3 bands were excellent.

would also say Pet Shop Boys and Erasure..both very good live. (and no im not gay) (and no im not in denial )

But for a dance fan must recommend Faithless.

D'oh, just forgot, i was at possibly the greatest music event in history!!!! This happens when you get old, you forget stuff. I'm talking about queen at knebworth!

[LittleBro]

Oasis at Knebworth in 96/97...whenever it was. Went to the Sunday night one. Was the first gig I ever went to...not what you'd call intimate, but very very special. Great support to, including the Manic's.

[DIW35]

Queen at Wembley Arena, supported by Status Quo and INXS.

Magic.

[Ozone]

Queen - Knebworth '82

[E31Shrew]

Queen at Wembley Arena
U2 at the NEC
But to top both of those Bruce Springsteen at Wembley Stadium, the week before Live Aid in 1985 and a couple of years ago at Crystal Palace..Awesome.

Crappiest was Manic Street Disinterested Preachers. Total waste of an hour of my life.
