Favourite live band you've seen.

Manic Street Preachers in the early days were electric.

Also a bit of a random one but They Might be Giants at Reading were super entertainment.

Unfortunately Walter Trout is gravely ill at the moment, requiring a liver transplant, Pete Feenstra organised a concert at the Shepherds Bush Empire recently to help with his medical bills.

Agree, saw the Manics at the Garage in Glasgow in 1992, amazing live set but the amount of kiddy-on punks spitting at them down the front of the stage put me off.

Best gigs for me in order

Stone Roses - Glasgow green 1990
Oasis - Barrowlands 1994
Neds Atomic Dustbin (supporting the Wonderstuff) Barrowlands 1992
Blur - Glasgow Plaza 1994
Happy Mondays - Elland Road 1991

happy days in the early 90's :D
 
There's a few...

Pearl Jam in Seattle was pretty special
Iron Maiden both on DoD tour and Final Frontier
John Mayer at Wembley last year and the Albert Hall a few years ago
Barenaked Ladies on any of the half dozen tines I've seen them
Coheed and Cambria at the Astoria
Ryan Adams at the Astoria on the 'Gold' tour
Any of the times I've seen Counting Crows
Hundred Reasons on their debut album launch tour
Killswitch Engage at Rock City
YES at the Bristol Hippodrome last week
Doobie Bros at the Hammersmith Apollo
Toto at the same venue

I could go on for hours!

I managed to see Iron Maiden with the original line up, Paul Dianno the lead singer.

Also managed to see Blizzard of Oz with Randy Rohanns playing guitar before his death.

Many many years ago!

Randy Rohanns! :D Silly autocorrect ;) That must have been so sweet!

I bet the original Maiden line up was awesome to see, but Bruce is by far the better front man for the band.

Yep, not many got to see Randy, awesome player.

I agree Bruce has made it is own, but I just loved the original Running Free, one of the first records I ever bought. Rumour at the time was they got rid of dianno cos he looked too much like a punk, with his bleached spiky hair...
 
Madness. Seeing them again this Christmas.

Would have loved to have seen The Macc Lads play live.
 
Saw quite a few worth mentioning.

The Who
Stone Roses
Fleetwood Mac
The Stones
Paul Weller
Prodigy
Oasis

All tremendous gigs but MC Kinky at the Metro, Dream Frequency at Technodrome and Njoi at Prestwick airport (Street Rave) deserve a special shout out to the massive. ;)
