• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

Favourite live band you've seen.

Alice Cooper in Vegas was good.

Ben Folds Five last year in Glasgow marked a decade of loving their music without having seen the full lineup live. Superb.

10cc (what's left of 'em) at Royal Concert Hall was really good.

Other notable and enjoyable gigs include Rammstein, Biffy Clyro, Bluetones, Deftones and System of a Down.

For every good gig, there's a bad one!
 
Guns twice. Stone Roses thrice. Waited about 6 years to watch them for the first time and watched them twice in a week. Then another 10 years before going to Heaton Park (it was the worlds largest karaoke). Also watched Seahorses in Leeds, Squires is unbelievable.

Actually think I hate you :angry:
Do it yourself is definitely in my top 10 albums of all time.
 
Testament - Hammy O
Iron Maiden/GnR - Donnington
Kings X - London
Foo Fighters - Wembley
Queen/Inxs - Wembley
Queensryche - Hammy O
Devin Townsend Project - Soton Uni
Steve Vai, Joe Satriani - London
 
Queen at Elland Road. Brain May was interviewed at the following gig at Milton Keynes and paid homage to the gig at Elland Road, "its why we do this". What a bloody day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Till the day I die.

I also took wifey to see them at Main Road. It's sort of spoilt her whole gig experiences as she ALWAYS now says afterwards, "It wasn't Freddie was it"........

The god of all gods. If you've never seen him....I feel sorry for you. Gotta go ......tears.......
 
Ah that's more like it;)

Forgot to add too

Joe Bonamassa - absolutely brilliant!
Shakespeare's Sister
Black Sabbath
Groundhogs
Ashton Gardner & Dyke
Fat Matress
White Plains
Paul Weller
Flowerpot Men

Missed out many of good bands but very few wern't worth an evening out!

Now that's a guy who's still on my bucket list!
 
Can't believe I forgot Queen. Live Aid they stole the show and loved the Kind of Magic gig at Wembley but thought the Works show at the Arena was even better. Freddie was the ultimate frontman. Live Aid as a gig was great to say you were there but I wasn't blown over by some of the acts
 
Now that's a guy who's still on my bucket list!

Forgot about seeing Joe Bonamassa also, saw him at the Borderline brilliant live.

Few more who we're good

RodgerDaltry / Wilco Johnson Royal Albert Hall

Eric Bibb, Taj Mahal, Charlie Musselwhite, Jools Holland at Bishopstock Devon.

Geordie at Bexley
 
A few I have been lucky enough to witness have been: -

Sex Pistols at the 100 Club
The Stones at Altamont
Blondie at CBGBs
Beetles on the Apple building roof
Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock
Bob Dylan at the Electric Newport Festival
The Cheeky Girls at Ritzys in Slough

Good times.....
 
Best I've seen was Erasure. Saw them twice once in 1990 at Milton Keynes bowl and in 2006 doing an acoustic tour at The Sage in Gateshead.
The acoustic was by far the best I've ever seen it was that clear it was like a recording, so pure and what a voice Andy Bell has.

Also seen Madness, Spand Ballet, Elton John in Las Vegas, Yazoo, Howard Jones. The 80's what a great era that was.

But nothing came close to that Erasure acoustic tour.....
 
Just been to an absolutely brilliant show tonight, Rick Wakeman doing Journey to the Centre of the Earth, with band full orchestra and chorus. It was stunning!
