What's the greatest gig you have been to?

[Pelham Boy]

Last night i went to see the late 80's early 90's indie guitar heroes My Bloody Valentine at The Camden Roundhouse.
 It was without a doubt the loudest gig i have been to. They were giving out ear-plugs as you walked in!!!!! The vocals are fairly low in the mix on their records,buit last night they were virtually inaudible over the noise of the guitars. They closed the set with a 20 minute version of their smash hit (lol) 'You Made Me Realise',of which the final 15 minutes were the loudest,most amazing wall of noise. There were people all around me standing with their fingers in their ears! It felt as if i had been hit by a train.

A stunning night.

Kings of Leon @ Doncaster Dome.

amazing night.

also, went to see Placebo @ Blackpool ballroom? or something, which was also incred.

Smaller venues always seem to make it better, more die hard fans usually.

I've only ever been to one gig in my life, it was this week and it was awful..

[kinboshi]

New Model Army are my favourite band and favourite live act.  Can't pick one particular gig as being the best though.  Going to see them again in December at the Astoria, so hopefully that'll be the best one.

Best stadium gig I've been to was U2 in 1993 at Wembley.  Brilliant show.

[TightEnd]

The Waterboys at Rock City Nottingham, 1989 ish

Stadium wise U2 at Elland Road around Joshua Tree album time, just before he got very pretentious, rather than allowably pretentious


recently enjoyed Maximo Park at Cambridge, Foo Fighters in Birmingham

Madness, Peterborough Wirrina   late 70's early 80's.   Although top of the bill,i was more impressed by the talent of the support act , The Go Go's.

If Carlsberg did concerts........................

Blur 1994 - Leeds Town And Country Club - small venue great atmosphere, live on mtv aswell.

Blur 1999 - Wembley Arena - big venue still brilliant!

Great venue The Rock City,i had a mate who went to the Poly in Nottingham so i used to go regularly.

A couple of other memorable gigs were,Oasis playing in the bar to about 100 people at The Roadmender in Northampton just before Supersonic was released.And REM at the De Montfort hall on the 'Green' toure.

I only saw late vintage REM, all big stadia

would have liked to ahve seen then 87-91ish

[ChipRich]

Blink 182 were pretty good when they were on their last tour of England before they split up.

Then loads of others in small venues have been incred. Wont bore you with all them details though.

Also,
Even though im not a big fan of them, i thought The Streets at Leeds Festival in 06 were incred, put on a great show.

I saw Oasis at Sheffield Uni for about a fiver in 1993 before they released Definitely Maybe.  It was a good gig but a mate of mine said that we wouldn't hear from them again ...

[sledge13]

Oasis at Knebworth was another of my faves, but because of The Prodigy mainly, great show and blew us away!
