Surprised you remembered Budgie at the Woolwich Polytechnic - my first live band seen, and boy were they loud!

Also:

Elton John - Single Man concert at Theatre Royal Drury Lane

Phil Collins - The Round - London

Meatloaf - Wembley Arena

James - Brighton Centre

Dr Hook - somewhere in Worthing!

Would love to see - Joe Bonamassa, Eric Bibb and the great Paulo Nutini.

Biggest regret - not seeing Pink Floyd live.

Saw GnR at Nottingham Rock City Appetite for Destruction tour, place went nutz. Then went to 1988 Donington when they played there, been to a few Monsters of Rock festivals before that, but that Donington was eerie, soon as I walked in I knew something was wrong and noticed it was first time they penned us in, and the amount of fans in there, there was no room at all. 107,000 and when GnR hit the stage it was pandemonium plus the weather didn't help and after 3 songs I think, they stopped to control the crowd cos of the massive surge forward. Wasn't a good Donington at all with 2 fans dying. Didn't go to another one till 92, and that was Mannaheim Germany with Iron Maiden headlining, I had access all areas pass and saw the MASSIVELY HUGE mechanical Eddie behind the drum riser for the finale, his arms were moving up and down and head moving as well, all being controlled by a mass of roadies pumping rods and pulleys to make him move but did it soooo much that you could see he was wavering all over the place that the inevitable happened and everyone scarpered as Eddie decided he wanted to lie down.......... Permanently. :rofl:

Rod Smallwood was not amused........:rofl:
 
Black Keys and The Stone Roses in Belfast at T Vital were excellent

&

Biffy Clyro wins it for me saw them at The Odyssey in Belfast last year and they played 26 excellent songs

Great night
 
King King are King!
Last night saw me down at Windlesham Club to see a band called King King.

They were absolutely outstanding. A wonderful mix of blues, rock and funk. I've seen a few bands, big 'uns too, but King King were right up there!
They're also supporting John Mayall later on this year and I'll be there too.
The icing on the cake was, as well as the fantastic music, the fact that after the gig they just wandered around the bar area talking to their audience.
I emplore anyone to try and see these guys from Glasgow ............................. unforgettable.


Slime.

Genesis, Knebworth 1992

Foo Fighters in Milton Keynes were good but I didn't actually go in , I dropped my wife and son in the bowl (as they had tickets) and I went to play golf at a nearby course. I heard every song though!

Foo Fighters 3 years ago ?

Was brilliant - cracking summers evening abnd the music was brilliant

The funniest thing was the guy running and tackling the cop into the lake :D

Google it - its brilliant
 
How could I forget Jabo Starks and Clyde Stubblefield (The Funky Drummers) at The Cluny in Newcastle, absolutely sublime. Was stood about 10 feet away from two drumming gods.
Herbie Hancock at The Sage Gateshead weren't too bad either with Vinnie Colaiuta on tubs, very tasty.
 
New Order, who ive seen a few times followed by Happy Mondays, they were better before they could play TBH.

biggest regreat was the Velvet Underground when they reformed in the 90 for a tour. I love all the 60' stuff and even Lou Reeds first couple of Solo efforts, but it was just like a load of old men and one old woman messing around on stage. For that reason i would never go and see any band i liked back in the day, now. not even the Smiths (not going to happen anyway)... its best to remember than to re live.
