most awesome moments at a gig, ever?

[HseagullsH]

Who are your favourite actors?

Probably be done before but who are yours?

Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Bruce Willis, Joe Pesci and Samuel L Jackson for me.
Done some brilliant films between them too

2. Blur at Sussex Uni

3. Ocean Colour Scene at the Electric Ballroom with the Gallagher brothers supporting

[1234andcounting]

Hyde Park this year. Neil Young encoring with A Day In The Life and being joined on stage by co-composer of this wonderful toon and sometime favourite of many NSC posters, only Paul f...ing McCartnery, that's who.

The Who coming on stage at Charlton 1976 after it had been pissing down all day, with Daltrey falling over and sliding across the stage on his arse, for sheer comic delight.

 

[rcf0712]

mmmm, I forgot (shoot me now) about Neil, the godhead, Young and Crazyhorse at Sidney Myer Music Bowl doing the Greendale extravaganza plus pure a Crazyhorsetastic encore on the night England beat Australia in that stupid rugby world cup....
The only time I've ever flown across a continent for a gig, and then flew back the other way the next morning to see another one (Rock-It festival featuring Jack Johnson, Donavan Frankenreiter, the awe inspiring Living End and the shitehouse over rated Powederfinger (how dare they use that name)).

[Gwylan]

As mentioned, Pete Townshend with the Clash
David Bowie on stage with Iggy Pop at the Rainbow
The Buzzcocks (with Howard Devoto) in that crypt in North Road - where it was almost hard to tell audience and band apart
The Jam playing "There's a riot going on" as fights break out during a gig at the old Embassy cinema
Not really a gig moment, but gatecrashing post-gig party after The Clash Sussex Uni gig in May 1977.

 

[Spun Cuppa]

John Weller coming on stage at The Dome/Centre (x6) and saying, 'Put your hands together for the best f***ing band in the land, 'The Jam!!'...'

 

[Return of the Rev]

[Withdean Wanderer]

Bon Scott walking through the audience with Angus Young on his shoulders, Brighton Centre 1979.

*Jealous*

Seeing Angus at Wembley this year was good though, as was McCartney at the Albert Hall.

 

[User removed 4]

The time down the place which was Coasters ( Cant think of the name now !!)

Anyway, Peter Gabriel was there and he says to the crowd, "Im going to do a song about a man called Steve Biko, anyone out there know who he is ?"
and my mate shouts out "He is a dead wog !!!"

Immediate Chaos and a mass ruck starts all around us and Peter Gabriel walks off stage

 

[WhingForPresident]

Chemical Brothers at Olympia last Summer was just incredible.
If you haven't seen them live, you simply have to do it.

 

[Pat McCrotch]

New Order at the Hacienda, 1985

Stone Roses at Spike Island, May 1990.

 

[Gordon the Gopher]

The Ruts at the Marquee doing their encore of human punk and then being told it had just been recorded for their debut album.

Have seen on YouTube Animal joining Metallica at some point. Seems weird to see Metallica singing 'I've been to Hastings and I've been to Brighton. I've been to Eastbourne too!

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Last night of The Rising Tour 2003, Shea Stadium New York, home to the Mets.
Born to Run was playing and we were in the Gods, third tier, in an old concrete stadium.
So much bouncing up and down by the crowd during this, I swear that the floor was bouncing,it was quite was scarey, I had visions of the concrete collapsing and the stand falling down like a pack of cards.
Unforgettable.
One of the greatest songs of all time.
