Great night, eh!

This is tricky but
Love Arthur Lee with Baby Lemonade backing him Irish Centre, Leeds
Mr Bungle Irish Centre, Leeds
Arcade Fire Leadmill

Can i ask what years at the Irish centre?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

It raises a good question as to what makes a fav gig. I go to loads of gigs, all different shapes and sizes, and the really special ones involve a good performance, good crowd, maybe a special venue and always a circumstance of some sort. Lots of stars need to align to elevate the show to truly special and above all the many others I have attended over the years.

Queen at Wembley
Radiohead at Treptower Park
LCD Soundsystem Ibiza.

Ask me tomorrow and it will be a different trio.

 

[Superphil]

Motörhead
Led Zeppelin
Blind River

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Great night, eh!

Yes - stunning

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

In no particular order:
The King Blues
Groove Armada
Pulp

As part of my job I’ve been to hundred of gigs/shows from The Stones, Guns n Roses to the Who, Take That and The Vamps, but the 3 above bring back great memories

Being nosey, what’s your job?

You’re not the first on this thread to say Big Country, I find it odd and if you were to start a thread on the 3 worst bands you’d seen live I’d chose Big Country on 2 separate occasions. I’m not having a dig at them or those who voted for them, and I wasn’t adverse to their records, but 2 of the 3 times I’ve seen them live they were diabolical. At one instance their drummer threw his sticks out into the crowd after the 3rd or 4th number, and the crowd promptly threw them back.

 

[studio150]

The Clash
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

Loads more I could have included as the line between being in or out of the top 3 is wafer thin

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The Fall
The Clash
Oasis

 

[BN9 BHA]

Dexys numerous times

Did you ever see The Bureau?

Purely based on The Crossing gig at The Suite in the early 80’s.

Incredible on the night, I recall other NSC’ers saying the same about it.


[Most bands/artists have stinkers, some repetitively. When not in the mood or just being an ********, too pissed or doped].

Being nosey, what’s your job?

I work in artist relations for a couple of large musical instrument/accessory brands. Chances are, that our gear is used at every gig you go

 

[Surf's Up]

Daryl Hall and John Oates at Hammersmith
Dexys at the Old Vic
Bruce Springsteen at Hammersmith

 

[sully]

Fleetwood Mac
Genesis
ABBA

Quite a lot so very close to the top 3. Really hard to narrow it down.

Hard to believe I can’t fit in Queen, Rush, Thin Lizzy to name a second 3!
