What's the greatest gig you have been to?

[kinboshi]

oh and Rammstein at Brixton was f'kin amazing too   Even if you don't like the music, if you ever get the chance to see them, you must go.

Great venue, and I've heard that Rammstein are good live.

[action man]

And...you've got me started now, there was always something good about seeing the Stone Roses live too, really good live band.

never saw the roses live but ive seen brown live and a wouldnt watch him again if i was in jail. Crowd full of hooligans horrid live voice and seems to want to preach instead of sing thsese days.

Sure you didn't go to see Ian Paisley by mistake?

[Graham C]

He was great in the Stone Roses, still couldn't sing, but the whole band were amazing, John Squire is just inspired and there was a great feel to them.

Brixton is ftw, the best venue bar none imo.

Not very PC these days,  but Gary Gltter's Xmas Eve gig in 1979 at Rock City Nottingham was a truly stupendous gig.

I believe it was a comeback tour, and I will always cherish that evening sitting on the shelf in front of the balcony. He was one hell of a performer and the place really rocked that night.

However, showing my age here, I did live in Toronto for a few years during the 1970's, and during my sojourn attended many great gigs including Lou Reed, JJ Cale, Muddy Waters, The Sweet (don't ask), The Ramones, John Martyn and a few that I can't remember  

The one that sticks out in my mind is The Rolling Stones playing Maple Leaf Gardens in either 1972 or 1973 with Bobby Keys playing horns and various other glitterati supporting, but the opening act was Stevie Wonder.

Hi Ralph, I am hoping you might be able to help me here. I have heard Life on Mars by Bowie down the uyears and never really liked it much but I bought the soundtrack to the TV show Life on Mars the other week and now I have heard it a few times I think it is a superb song. Ny question is wtf is it about?

Seen the Stereophonics around 7 times, but best gig was at the scala - 700ish capacity.  Shepherd's Bush Empire a close second.  

Also saw the Killers last year in Paris in a relatively small venue - was awesome.

Cheers Kin, I did find that write up but it only kinda skirts around the background of it(strange fact that it has the same chords as My Way tho). The first verse seems to be about a grl getting pregnant and having an abortion, the rest of the song sounds/could be about a string of things the girl see/remembers whilst under the in fuence of the drugs but maybe thts just how I see it and Im not really sure.

[Snatiramas]

Siouxsie and the banshees with the cure as support!!!!! 1978 DeMontfort Hall Leicester
Killing Joke at the Ajanta Cinema Derby
Blancmange at Jokers in Leicester

[ifm]

In my heavy metal days, Donnington Monsters of rock festival.
Iron Maiden headlining, Metallica, Poison, Guns N Roses, Megadeth.
Awesome, awesome gig

Also in Sydney I saw Crowded House' farewell concert on the steps of the opera house. It was a free concert and an unbelievable occasion.

Saw Maiden a few times best was at Birmingham odeon supported by metallica i think or Anthrax circa 1986?
Awesome in a smaller venue
