[Trigger]

[BobbySmith]

That Who gig was the loudest ever concert i believe.

Yes I think it was in the Guiness Book of Records as the loudest outside concert. I heard their encore from Greenwich Hospital...long story. It was bloody hot that day as well, poeple fainting all over the Place

Think the 79 Knebworth Zep concert was at one stage the biggest ever outside concert 250,000 ? and I can tell you that was bloody loud as well, the ground shook when they did Kashmir, still the loudest thing and probably the best song I have ever seen live.

 

[Icy Gull]

Pink Floyd at the Marlowe Theatre Canterbury circa 1968. My 1st ever gig and given the type of music being played at that time, the most memorable. Saucerful of Secrets was their new album at the time, real eye opener to the music I came to love.

 

[Beach Hut]

was that the glass spider tour?

No, it was his alleged last tour but he still carried on

 

[The French Mistress]

I'm always sceptical of these threads, as it depends on mood, venue, band, etc. etc.


But for what it's worth - john butler trio in toulouse, 2004ish

The Stranglers

Brighton Dome

What!!
without the original lead singer?

Brighton Centre, '79 ish was pretty good apart from the really rough strippers they brought on for Nice'n'Sleazy

 

[dougdeep]

Streetwalkers at Sussex Uni. Amazing.

 

[aberllefenni]

Led Zep Knebworth 79 too. My first ever proper gig aged 16 and one week and still up there as one of the best. On the other end of the scale Geno Washington at Llanidloes Community Centre 81.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Bruce Springsteen, San Siro Milan 2003 and also the last night of the Rising tour, Shea Stadium Oct 2003, with Dylan on stage too.

 

[Bob!]

Queen, Earls Court '77

The Crown stage, Freddie in his Nureyev era, Brian with his flowing sleeves. Classic!

 

[pasty]

Queen, Knebworth August 1986. Their last ever gig.

 

[BensGrandad]

Ask my wife and she will say The Event at Wembley with Cliff Richard.

 

[vegster]

can't remember the exact dates but, Thin Lizzie at the Centre , 2 gigs in the late 70's or early 80's .... awsome performance both times. Which may have something to do with Live and Dangerous being voted top live album ever.

 

[medicine man]

Prince 88 Lovesexy Tour.

Arrives in A cadilac, drives around the stage, gets out, adjusts cuff, looks cool as f***
"Snare drum pounds on the 2 and 4"
and we're in to 'Erotic city'

just fantastic...

 

[The Modfather]

stone roses spike island

Spike Island was a great day out but the performance by the Roses was iffy to say the least.

Much better a year earlier at the Ally Pally.

 

[The Modfather]

Queen Btn ctr 1979 and The Jams last ever concert at the Btn ctr.
Think that was 82.
Both fooking wicked

The Jam's last gig certainly was in 1982.

No 1. for me
