Oasis in Bath, around 1995. Small venue and before they became massive.

One band that always puts on a great show is Barenaked Ladies, A long set list, which change from gig to gig, plenty of banter and improvised stuff on stage and their music is great too.

No, it was donington in 1996. Original lineup reformed and put the full overblown show on; amazing. First time was donington in 1988, no stage show but they played all the classics and blew all the other bands on that day away; at the time I didn't know any kiss stuff and was a fan of some of the others but nobody else came close - iron maiden should have stayed in their dressing room and let kiss play on!
Good to see all the shout outs for Hawkwind and SAHB! :thup:
Sensational Alex Harvey Band :thup:
Genesis at Knebworth:smirk:
Rush and Boston
Todd Rundgren
Status Quo - until we were evicted by the bouncers:angry:

Kasabian are unreal live, Oasis were also absolutely brilliant, seen them twice, loved it
I wish I had something to play my old LP's on, that would be the first one on, SAHB Live.
The Tomahawk Kid being a huge favourite followed by Give My Compliments to the Chef.

Agree with you about kasabian I've seen them 5 times!! I felt ripped off when I saw oasis I just thought they weren't a good live band

Seen Maiden and Metallica a few times, never a bad gig, likewise Foo Fighters. But my best gig in recent memory was the Quireboys at The Brook last year. Just superb. Spike was ratted and had to be virtually helped onstage, and got that awful sinking feeling when you know its going to go wrong. But how wrong was I? He didn't miss a note all night, even when he tripped over his mic stand, the band were as tight as a tight thing and the between song banter was hilarious. A top top gig and I would recommend anyone to see them if they get the chance.

If we're including comedy I'll second Billy Connolly, absolute comedy genius. Saw him at the Labatt's Apollo once, if you're not familiar with the venue the man's opening line cleared up any doubts; "Welcome to the Hammersmith Odeon. Labatt's Apollo my arse!"
Also saw Mrs Brown's Boys live at the same venue, absolutely brilliant. Not sure it's going to transfer too well to the O2 though; I love the O2 for music, but I fear it could be a bit big & impersonal for this one.

I watched 'The Small faces' (Steve Marriott) in 1966, what a great band they were, I still play a CD in the car. If they were out new today they would still be a sensation.
This video brings it back to me how us 65'ish were not so different to later generations but are now seen as the eternal pipe and slipper brigade.

I am a huge roses fan, since their magnificent debut album came out (I also think second coming is superb), but, and it's a big one. Passable bass player, gifted drummer, guitarist close to Marr like brilliance but live vocals? mmmmmmmmmmm
and I have every solo studio album he's cut

Of all the bands I never saw, but wished I had, top of the list, by a distance, would be Humble Pie.
Steve Marriott is the best rock singer I've ever heard and also the best white soul singer of all time, an absolute legend.
