Best group you've seen live

went to this one ...

... But Lou Reed at the same venue was good, Bowie would be my all time Fav though.

*They

I've heard The Famoue Five are very entertaining

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.

Didnt we do this a few months ago.

Mine is still the Savoy Brown Blues Band, opening for Jethro Tull at the Dome Brighton in 1970.

Just thought of another thoughm again 1970, or could have been 1969 - Steamhammer at the National Jazz and Blues Festival held at Plumpton, yes really!!!.

Santana

the richard head band would probably suit too

Stewy and the bell enders my fav

Border Incident & Uncle Bing were two fav's of mine elise.

Had tickets for the Foo Fighters at old trafford cricket ground in June, Till Taylor Hawkins departed

Just to add value to the Savoy Brown Blues Band, or maybe devalue my taste.  My live gigs include Creams last, Hendrix three times. the Stones (Hyde Park et al), Led Zepp, Pink Floyd, Cap'n Beefheart, Nick Drake, Fairport Convention, with and without Sandy Denny, Rory Gallagher in Taste and without. Not a bad quick list but them I am old

Savoy Brown a good pick, blackbarn. Train to Nowhere my favourite of theirs.

Sparrow - Dave Youlden on vocals!!

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.


What a superb choice sparrow. The original. Peter Green was Fleetwood Mac. Too many songs to mention. That choice cannot be beaten imho.

'Need your love so bad' Superb.

stewarty......"Cold Black Night".  A very unique sound Savoy Brown blackbarn.

november leeds uni 1976 the clash, jonny thunder and heartbreakers, the dammed , the sex pistols

I've only ever seen one, Fleetwood Mac at Royal Albert Hall in the 80s, it was fantastic.

Thin Lizzy 1969

Queen "Kind of Magic" tour at the old Wembley Stadium in the 80s.

11am to 11pm on a glorious summer's day.

Lineup:

The Alarm
INXS
Status Quo
Queen

Transvision Vamp had some energy in the day, not quite the same when last saw Wendy James live few year ago. Wonder why.
Reel Big Fish for a show and pure fun tho.

I was never much of a fan of Bruce Springsteen but there was a spare going in our group to see him at Wembley stadium, July 4th 1985 and I thought what the hell, I'll go.


It was easily the best live performance I've ever seen, he absolutely rocked the place senseless.

Roxy Music 1972 (support group to headliner David Bowie!)

@SlippyBlue that was my runner-up to the Queen gig - the Springsteen "Born In The USA" tour.

Gutted I missed him at the Olympic Park in London a decade ago - hope to see him live agaim while he is still touring.

Seen plenty but the Killers were very good

Never seen the Killers live but saw them the one NYE I was unwell and couldn't go out and the were the new talent showcased on Jools Holland's NY show.

You're correct there Longbridge, it was that tour indeed.
Like others on here I've seen lots of top bands but that concert was way beyond any other.

On a lesser scale I've  seen Carter USM many times at the Brixton Academy and always loved seeing them live as well.

I spent the weekend at the Isle of Wight festival in 1970 and there was some great music, but Chicago and Jethro Tull stole it.

Seen Leonard Cohen twice but not really a band but i loved him

Animals , Douglas IOM ....think 1964 but its a long time ago ,tables held in the air, we each had a leg ........

The Killers in Bolton about 3 years ago. Off to Dublin this summer to see them again.

Dave Clark Five  ( Yarmouth Pier )

The Clash.

IDLES

..tables held in the air, we each had a leg...

what more could you want from a gig?!

The Skids kinema ballroom Dunfermline

Elvis Costello in his hey day, Eric's Liverpool

Tavares , Temptations  , Four Tops  , about four years ago.  The songs and music carried them but it is probably my best night out ever not counting Liverpool Football Club success's..

Stereophonics or Kasabian

Lynyrd Skynyrd at 6 different venues

Dixie Chicks Royal Albert Hall, now kwown as The Chicks.Also The Fureys many venues, old school i know but ah well.I did see the Stones in their heyday in Hyde Park.

Pixies 1988

The Jam, multiple times early 80's..... TRIBALISM.... You had to be there to understand.

Dylan at Earls Court the year he played Blackbushe

Springsteen at Wembley arena, might have been 85 like Slippy , he played Born in the USa on an acoustic with a slide, (that bit was s***,though). He finished with 'If I fall behind' with all the band singing their solo parts, Nils Lofgren sings like an angel (plays guitar like the devil)

Thin Lizzy at Lancaster Uni probably about 1977

Like John Smith now, folkie guitar player, seen him 4 times, best one in Leicester in a pub with about 20 people. Saw him first time when he supported John Martyn, another hero

Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Forum, Kentish Town, North London, December 1996.

I saw Depeche Mode a good few times and they were always excellent more so in the latter years with Ultra and Violator.

Awful news this morning is that the D.M. keyboard player and founder member Andy Fletcher has died aged 60.

Led Zeppelin - B'ham Town Hall  - January 1970

Thin Lizzy 'Live And Dangerous' tour

Pixies 1988



Is the correct answer

Tool


Thread can now be closed.

Stiff Little Fingers - several locations but Capital Theatre Aberdeen 78 the first and therefore biggest impression - and almost 45 years later I'm going to see them in Cork in August followed by two days at Killarney (first trip there) - heaven is a place on earth...
