miss going to gigs, too much hassle, but other than fleet foxes none I have missed have bothered me that much, but give my left bollock to see the Cocteau Twins ago, genuinely something special

The Jam at Deeside eh ?? haha I've heard the concert basically just got in the way of all the fighting

Paul weller , Manchester Apollo 1994
Radio head, Glastonbury 1997
Fleet foxes, corner house 2008
Rufus wainwright, the Lowry 2005
Public image, king George's hall bburn, 1983

Didn't go (well I was 2) but I've seen that performance on Youtube and it looked unbelievable. I think they said that's a high they've never reached again.

Aye, that must be from a few years ago because my veins in my arms have long since collapsed.

Foo Fighters at the MK Bowl was awesomely awesome, it would have still been my best gig ever and then they bring Alice Cooper out on the encore, just superb.

Was there too

Foo Fighters wembley: Included John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page from Zepplin doing ramble on and rock n roll
Front row recently at NIN in the tiny Scala club in London
Iron Maiden flight 666 to Sweden
Probably my top 3 of literally hundreds of gigs and festivals

Also Prodigy in Plymouth was awesome which is why I am made up that my missus bought me a ticket for Sonishpere...
Headliners:
Prodigy, Maiden and Metallica.. sweet

Aye. Apparently they were having a nightmare with sound problems and were ready for walking. Thom Yorke then asked for the house lights to be turned on and it was fabulous from that point onwards.

Was funny tbh, support band the Vapors, they of turning japanese fame, were quite good, was basically an ice rink with rubber mats on where the crowd were standing, the Jam started and bedlam broke out. I had some weird punk type tart trying to tw@ me with the old type kettle she used as a handbag

Outside got a bit meaty, was a bit like the Warriors for a while

Still cool gig though

Strange one here but seen Huey Lewis and the News in St Andrews last year. It was at the dinner for the Dunhill Links. Everyone knew Huey was going to be there but he hadn't told anybody he was bringing the whole band. Absolutely fabulous performance which included cameos from the likes of Andy Garcia on Bongo's.
