[Razzoo]

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

 

[The Clamp]

Rollins Band (Brixton Acadamy I think, the 1997 Get Some Go Again tour with Mother Superior replacing the previous Rollins Band. Mind blowing)

The Flaming Lips - Brighton Centre 2002. Just a great night out.

Giant Sand - The Old Market. Tremendous musicians. Tremendous frontman.


Honourable mentions for Tom Waits, Blondie, Gorillaz, Black Flag, LCD Soundsystem, Jane’s Addiction, and AC/DC

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Queen Wembley 86 i think
Quireboys - some club in london about 88
David Byrnie - American Utopia tour

A lot of the best gigs ive been to are not by the best artists with the best songs, but bands and performers who know how to structure a set, have frontmen who know how to work the crowd and have a connection between the artist and audience.

Energy Orchard
Bruce Springsteen and the E St Band
