Good to see another Wildhearts fan on here! Only seen them twice both in 2004 in Oxford with Therapy? supporting and later that year at Reading Festival.

As for the best gigs I've been to;

Radiohead - South Park, Oxford 7.7.2001 (Supergrass, Beck, Sigur Ros on also on the bill)
Oasis - Finsbury Park 2.7.2002 (The Coral, Cornershop, BRMC and The Charlatans also on the bill)
Muse - Portsmouth Guildhall - October 2001 w/Hundred Reasons supporting.
The Cribs - seen them 3 times and always been good!

Shifty - I must of seen Muse on the same tour you did at Darlington Dome. That was my first ever gig and is still one of the best I have ever been to!

I cant pick just one gig because I have never had a bad gig, all of them were bloody ace!

Memorable ones include All American Rejects @ Brixton Academy...Wolfmother @ Birmingham Academy (original line up, not the new one with Stockdale and a backing band) Cancer Bats @ Cambridge Barfly...Gallows @ The Old Bell (Derby)...Wednesday 13 @ Astoria on Halloween.

Just so many good bands out there at the moment and I cannot wait until Sonisphere...Went last year and Anthrax were my band of the weekend and cant wait to see them again this year

Scratch that, I can pick one.

Offspring, Sum 41 and Frank Turner @ Hard Rock in Orlando FL when me and the other half were there last year.

Beatles in 1964 & again in 1965 nothing like it before or since total madness.
Early Yarbirds with Clapton on lead were good it was clear he was rather special even then.

Probably the craziest gig I've been to was GWAR at rock city, amazing show for a fiver.

Best gig? Way too hard, Tool's last arena tour was very good though, with support from Mastodon. BB King was also very good, lots of stories and stuff as you'd expect. Steve Vai was just very loud lol.
Seen too many bands to decide.

Only been to 2, both being Green Day at the MEN Arena. Once on the American Idiot tour (2005?) And then last October, which was the better gig due to having great seats

that must have been an awesome gig to be to, but could you hear the band over the screaming girls? always remember old interviews with the band where they said they couldnt hear a thing.

im always toying with the idea of going to see mccartney play live, suppose ill have to sort it out soon before he's dead like john and george.

In order:

Any of the early Meat Loaf concerts were amazing (3 hours at full pelt without a break). But he's not so good now - seems to struggle to hit some of the big notes.

Sharleen Spiteri at The Playhouse last year had a really great audience reaction. And a great pair of legs that we should see more of!

The Who at T In The Park - never liked them at all, but thought I should make the effort so I could say I'd seen them live - they were extraordinary!

Gary Glitter, Christmas Eve at the SECC (before he was outed as a pedo!) What a showman - brilliant fun!

Pet Shop Boys at T also surprised me.

Sparks at Connect in 2008. When I saw them on telly as a kid, I never for a moment thought I'd be watching them live on stage 30 years later!

The Stones at Don Valley Sheffield. I'm not really of that era, well not quite, and it was peeing it down some of the time, but the gig was absolutely fantastic. Best I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot.

Oh Will, I got loads of them. But I saw Guns N' Roses (the original and best) at a young age before they broke up, Slash is and always will be a legend!

Otherwise, Stereophonics are always one of the best bands live, Kelly Jones' voice is pure talent. Good example is when he showed up Rod Stewart on his own song on T.V. before Christmas

Leeds Festival I did a few times, featuring Rammstein, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Green Day etc. But Muse are great live too!

KISS IN LIVERPOOL IN MAY!!!! LEGENDS!!!!

I can remember seeing a DJ called Seb Fontaine at the middlesbough empire/suger shack.It was a cracking set.I was nodding my head most of the way through the set.I can remember wakeing up on the saturday morning and my neck was killing cause of all the nodding lol.


I would love to go back in time and see Nirvana play.
