It's 26 years ago that the Stone Roses did the Spike Island gig.
We're any of you there?
What's the best festival / gig you have been to?

Myself was the Oasis gig at Knebworth 1996.

Easy, Glastonbury is best festival. I still go to numerous gigs each and every year (40 plus last year) and have loads of favourites. Queen at Wembley was a real highlight though.

Think that was 83. Sabbath's farewell concert. Got vague memories of it.

I'm sure I went to some great Glastonbury's, after Battle of the Beanfield and before gentrification, but:-



instantly came to mind with some great memories.

Never done a big festival, and aside from individual gigs the highlight has to be Sleeper, Radiohead, Cranberries and REM on a stinking hot day at MK Bowl in '95.

Best festival/gig is two different things. Not a big festival fan - too much dross to listen to.

Reading 75 was good though:

I was there. Comsats supported

Isle of Wight, 1970. An incredible line-up and one of the main reasons I'm happy today to be an old man.

Reading in 1978 was quite an eye-opener for a 15 year old.

The Butthole Surfers, wwhhhhooooooo, kept swapping their 'good' guitars for their 'smash this one' then reach for their good ones again.

I was there too, a long, but enjoyable day, ended up sleeping in car after breaking down.

Took an age to navigate those roundabouts afterwards. Will not forget Dolores in resplendent pink all over!

Hendrix any good

Glasto 1992 - Tom Jones was the special guest and he was probably the very best live show I've ever seen:-




Carter absolutely smashed it as well.

A lot of money in those days, I think I got about a fiver for 8 hours shelf stacking at Hangleton Co-op.
