Best Band you've seen live

[Marc]

Started on the best Singer thread so though it deserved its own place here.

For me, has to be AC/DC - Wembley Arena 1996.

For entertainment value KISS a close 2nd (Donnington Monsters Of Rock 1996 I think)

Metallica 3rd (Donnington Monsters Of Rock 1995

 

[Northstander]

U2 - Achtung baby tour!!

 

[Cian]

Orbital at Oxegen 2004

Last show ever in Ireland, right up the front, tent packed well beyond capacity. Excelent.

 

[Virgo's Haircut]

Queen - Wembley 1986

Radiohead - Glastonbury 97 (Athough everytime I've seen them they are amazing)
Manic Street Preachers - London Town and Country club 94, When They were a rebelious four piece. Awesome, Gone a bit week since.
U2 - Wembley Stadium 1993 I think Zoo TV

 

[Scarface]

Feeder and Prodigy at Reading festival.

 

[The Great Cornholio]

The Lightning Seeds at the Dome about 5-6 years ago. But then I've never really been a big music lover and have been to very few concerts. Showaddywaddy are always good value for a good beer festival.

The Streets - Brixton Academy May 2004.
Super Furry Animals (supp0rt from Urusei Yatsura) - Brighton East Wing approx 1997/8.

I was at at both the Prodigy and Super Furrys. Both excellent gigs.

I remember the prodigy one cos I was right at the front and it was really f***ing hot cos there was about double the amount of people in the tent as there should have been.

 

[CHAPPERS]

I got kicked really hard in the knee a while into that Prodigy gig, it took me about 20 minutes to get out of the tent because I kept stopping and trying to dance through the pain, in the end I gave up and watched from outside, it looked proper messy up front.

 

[pasty]

Queen, Knebworth 1986. Their last live gig.

 

[Albion Dan]

I was at that Prodigy gig, it was way to busy in the tent and i just got pissed of with getting pushed about so went across teh way and saw Carl Cox in the techno tent.

Prodigy at V97 was pretty special though!

 

[Meade's Ball]

I couldn't choose between the following bands:
Public Enemy
Super Furries
Faith No More
Fiery Furnaces
The Strokes
Eric B and Rakim
Radiohead
Flaming Lips
Yeah Yeah Yeahs

etc etc
