bin 2 a few, the best one is always the next,went 2c the white stripes in blackpool a couple of weeks back which was fantastic how they get that sound with just the two of them is beyond me.
just got in after a night out at a faithless concert. It was fab, brilliant atmosphere!
My fav has to be Radiohead at Oxford. Seen some great festivals over recent years, Kings of Leon were great.
The Macc Ladds.. they played at the Tower in Hull....and it was fecking great :happy:
Having been to concerts both big (knebworth & wembley stadium to name a couple) and small (marquee club) I have to admit to preferring the smaller, more intimate venue when going to a concert - 3000 or less seems ideal!!
I have seen numerous bands live, but as far as favourite concerts go, has to be one of the may times (and the current count is on 40!!) that I have seen my fav band - Marillion (Britains best kept secret to quote a music journalist or two!!).
Marillion are one of those bands that actually sound far better live than on a "studio" album. For anyone that likes U2 or Radiohead or stuff like that I would recommed a listen to Marillons latest album that was out last year called Marbles.
Discover a lost art - play Marbles!
Deep Purple........Smoke on the water concert.....The Dome, Brighton.............july 1972 i think. It was fabulous!!!
Roxy Music - Athens September 1980 - I think.
Faithless, last night at the Manchester Evening News Arena
1. Queen, Birmingham NEC 2nd September 1984..... It was my first gig, and i have been to hunderds since i never quite been beaten!...
2. Type O Negative, Nottingham Rock City, 97....that was just mind blowing!....
3. Tea Party, Leeds Duchess 92, They should have been huge!.... but as i was there with only about 10 other people...it was not meant to be.
4. Primus, Nottingham Rock City, 96,...weird!....
5. Love/Hate Bradford Queens Hall '91, Kinda like a Gun's N' Roses meets Janes Addiction thing...The first time i ever saw the walls sweat!....
