o/t best band

[nirvana]

A few come to mind:

Adam and the Ants 1979 to early 1980. Lyceum

Discharge - 100 Club

Killing Joke - Lyceum

Crass - Starlight Club, West Hampstead

Tuesdays at the 100 club, Sundays at the Lyceum - enjoyed those times.

Only ever saw one stadium type thing Guns n Roses supported by Soul Asylum, Blind Melon and the Cult at Milton Keynes - was a great event in many ways, not least for Blind Melon and Cult's one or two decent tunes. Guns n Roses were'nt too bad too.

A lot of bands I'd like to see today but of them only experiencing a big Korn concert is something I feel I have to do.

Bands you didn't see.... always wished I'd seen Nirvana and The Smiths in their pomp.

Blind Melon are a great band.  "I Wonder" has a cool guitar part in the intro.  Shannon Hoon was a good singer

[Eck]

Echo and the Bunnymen Edinburgh playhouse - 1984 simply brilliant!

[RED-DOG]

also, who would you like to see, living or dead.

I'd like to see Elvis, living, holding a copy of todays paper while I take a photograph.

Prince at Hammersmith Odeon was pretty awesome. Bowie at the NEC on his last tour about 3 years ago was more than a little special. David Lee Roth always very entertaining live.
As for shows I would have liked to see, I never forgave myself for not going to the first Live Aid when I could have had tickets at face value. I also would have loved to go to Donington Monsters of Rock 1984 to see AC/DC, The Mighty Van Halen, Motley Crue, Accept, Gary Moore, Ozzy Ozbourne and Y&T. Possibly the greatest rock line up ever assembled in the UK.

I wanted to go to that. Unfortunately I was only 12 at the time and couldn't get in.  My Sister went and I still have the ticket somewhere .

i washed a pair of trousers with my ticket in it for this gig, i went down to the barras  with some paper pulp in a matchbox, i showed it to  a bouncer at the door who laughed and let me in to see the ticket booth women inside the building, she also laughed and gave me a pass to go in, i didnt need to queue outside, result

Was that the gig with Tool as the support group?

[brad.strider]

yes, im beginning to think it was 93, ive got no ticket stub to make sure but 

[Sark79]

It was on  Mon 24th May 1993. Special Guest were Tool and Wool .  You paid £7.50 for the ticket and you were a lucky bugger for getting to see that gig
