Best live band you have ever seen?

[Laughing Gravy]

Cant choose between Queen or The Jam

 

[Bold Seagull]

Being only young I haven't seen much (nor probably the kind you'll all like); however Foo Fighters at the weekend was unbelievable.

Yes, another brilliant band I've seen live, Dave Grohl certainly knows how to work a crowd, all of them great musicians.

Best LIVE band, not best band.... I'm not sure many bands could compete with Freddie live could they?

 

[BadFish]

One Direction

[Zamora For England]

Madness put on a good show at the Brighton Centre about seven years ago now, as did the Aussie Pink Floyd at the same place...

Seeing the Beastie Boys in Brixton will always be remembered fondly

Isn't it odd, I liked their records, but saw them on their first ever tour, supporting Alice Cooper (I think) as the Stuart Adamson Band, they were really bad, then saw them some years later as Big Country, supporting Bowie, and again they were poor.

For pure amusement and showmanship, it has to be Gary Glitter.

Not too difficult to work out which side you'd have been on in the Mods v Rockers thread!

 

[HOFNSKIN]

The Who

Always enjoy these threads. Always good being over 40 so you can normally lord it over the yougsters with the breadth of your musical experience. I am not a festival type person but I have to give a big shout to Florence Welch for that performance at Reading Saturday Night (Thank god for BBC3).

Driving Rain throughout and curiously messianic.

Agree. Saw him in Crawley (think '74') and thought show was brilliant, but if I had know then what I ............

Did you both want to be in Gary's gang?
