id like to add
The Libertines (secret gig) - The Arena, Middlesbrough 2004
grrrr i hate these kinda questions cos i go away and think bout em for ages
oh, thought of another awesome gig:
Pitchshifter supported by Sikth, last november at the astoria.
Had never got the chance to see Pitchshifter before their split, so was really happy to see them playing again.
I's actually seen the drummers from Sikth (Dan Foord) and Pitchshifter (Jason Bowld) at a drummers festival (drummerlive) in October, and they both blew me away. When I found out both their bands were playing the same gig a month later I just knew I had to be there. It was amazing!

Got REM booked for a couple of weeks time ....... recently seen Rufus Wainwright in Sheffield - he's going to be really big soon.... Best concert: Bob Dylan, Manchester 2002 & (ironically) worst concert Bob Dylan, Glasgow 1991!
I've got my tickets for the Isle of Wight festival and T in the Park booked - Green Day are on at the T so that means I don't really need the ticket I've got to see them at MK on 18th June - so if anyone is interested in buying it off me then get in touch.
Haven't seen that many and none recently. Aim to change that this year, especially if the white stripes come back and do the UK again.
Most memorable concerts would be
Red Noise, Lancaster University, 1979
Bob Marley, Crystal Palace Bowl, 1980 - perhaps his last concert in the UK (?)
and Al Green somewhere small in London around 1984 or so.
best would be psychic tv at the forum last summer... mind blowingly good, like seeing the velvet underground at the peak of their powers. the fall, dec 03 would be a close second.
as for the bad ones - i don't really remember 'em, but a david bowie tribute band i saw 3 or 4 years ago probably takes the prize...

Best - Madonna at the Paris Bercy, September 4th 2004.
Worst - David Essex - Llandudno North Wales Theatre - 1988
I could go on.......but not now eh?
hmmm, it has to be siouxsie and the banshee's...1983, royal albert hall.....those were the days
I have been to so many over the years, but four that stand out
Bruce Springsteen at Wembley
Zeppelin at Knebworth
Rush at Hammersmith
Stones at Wembley
Some of the worst really surprised me
Dire Straits at the NEC - everyone just sat there and watched Mark Knopfler do his stuff. Just no atmosphere.
Meat Loaf - The first hour was incredible, but after that he ran out of puff and just could not sing
Deep Purple at Knebworth - sat in a muddy field all day next to a Frenchman eating raw bacon. Once again Blackmore did his usual trick and made everyone wait until he could be bothered to turn up on stage
