Ive only been to two live acts, one being awesome the other being very disapointing

Awesome = Bruce Springsteen 2008 - Old Trafford
Ive seen some old dvds (and old school vhs) of his, and always wanted to see him live - tbh i dont think there will be a better performer in my life time. He seems to make every concert special for his fans.

Disapointing  = Bob Dylan 2006 (?) - Nottingham arena
He seemed as tho he was there for the money only - turned up, did his bit and nuffiin else - a complete oposite to the boss who tried to interact with the audience. Also i think he has lost his voice a little from the 'old' days!.

bruce springsteen .. i would recommend n e one to go see - i think him with the e-steet band is best tho

Was at the Proclaimers gig tonite at Edinburgh Castle, very good as usual.

Best gig for me was Morrissey at Glasgow last year, whilst not everyone's cup of tea, he's a great performer.
