Best band you ever seen live.

[m20gull]

seeing them again at dowload festival on the friday 14th June

I'm going to the Odeon in November, again.

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

I've had great nights watching the Undertones, Fratelllis, Stranglers, Bowie and many others.

I've had fantastic nights watching Arcade Fire, U2, Queen, the Killers

but my vote has to go to Muse. They blew me (and 150,000 others) away at Wembley and to prove it isn't all just technology and video screens, they did it again in April at the Royal Albert Hall - just the three guys and their kit. Two nights I'll truly never forget.

[The Merry Prankster]

Currently I would give a shout for Gogol Bordello. Catch them if you can.

 

[Superphil]

Springsteen 2 consecutive nights at The Brighton Centre, May 1981.

Was that the show when he was completely pissed and couldn't string a sentance together? I saw him there around then, and it was pretty shoddy really.

 

[Icy Gull]

Quite a few but for suprise excellence

Al Stewart in Eastbourne circa 1988 around the release of Last Days of the Century album

and

Southside Johnny in a London venue who's name escapes me. How much energy did that guy have!!

 

[Trufflehound]

Currently I would give a shout for Gogol Bordello. Catch them if you can.

I would agree with that. The Polyphonic Spree and !!! are both amazing live too.





But best live band ever would have to be Gang of Four.

Please send me evenings and weekends...

The Neville Brothers -1988 (?) ,Town and Country Club
Youssou N'Dour - 1987, Same venue
Wilco - 2007, Berlin

Fairport Convention - 1974, Fairfield Halls
Stiff Little Fingers - 1979, Top Rank (?), Bristol

 

[Trufflehound]

Any of you other oldies remember a band from about 1981 or so called Furious Pig? Saw them supporting the Monochrome Set once, and their live show consisted of (I think) three blokes making farting noises into long cardboard tubes for half an hour. Marvellous scenes.
