    UK hiphop legend, Blade, with DJ Grazzhoppa, Cooperage Pub, Plymouth. Blade played pool with us before the gig and then gave us a night to remember on stage. It was an epic night for a number of reasons including how we got there and then going clubbing in Plymouth after the gig until the first bus back to Cornwall.

    Jeff Mills at Lost, London. Go on, Millsie!!

    The Roots supported by the then little known Amy Winehouse, London. Stunning.

    John Zorn’s Masada at the Barbican, London. The purely jazz version of the group, no guitars. One of the most underrated jazz bands ever, I reckon.

    LCD Soundsystem, Astoria, London. Big night.

    How was the Roots? I love them, would love to see them live some time.

    I missed my shot at LCD Soundsystem because I couldn’t get off of work. Really hoping they come back around soon 🤞

    1 the Ramones during the acid eaters tour, it was the second concert of my life, I lost one shoe in the first five minutes jumped after it got picked up and held it in my hand for the rest of the show, because I didn't want to get out of the wild crowd.

    2 Einstuerzende Neubauten during the Ende Neu Phase. Probably not as impressive as in the early days, setting the stage on fire and such, but still pretty wild.

    3 Air on one of the last festivals I was at before Corona hit. So smooth.

    4 Jon Spencer Blues explosion around 2015, still as energetic as ever (judging from videos). Speaking about Jon Spencer... Boss Hog, I think a little earlier were pretty great, too.

    5 Sonic Youth during the washing machine tour. I was entranced.

    Lynyrd Skynyrd 1977 (last show of the real band)

    YES! I was lucky to have seen Skynyrd in like 74-ish, when Freebird was still a brand new hit on the radio. Yes, hard to imagine ... the original band, doing Freebird when it was a new song! I was lucky enough to catch a lot of classic rock bands in the 70s just when they were hitting it big, like Golden Earring just when Radar Love broke, Heart (twice!) when they first hit, Aerosmith, Toys In The Attic tour (Sweet Emotion, Walk This Way), Joe Walsh just after Rocky Mountain Way came out, Lou Reed right at the time of Rock n Roll Animal, ELO, J. Geils Band, Steve Miller... Many other examples ... Basically, if you were alive and could afford a concert ticket during those years... I'm remembering so many just now... But none of these would be on my top 5.

    My top 5 most memorable are probably going to be all prog rock shows in the 70s, due to the combination of supreme musicianship with the most outrageous stage shows of all time. In many ways impossible to describe and do it justice without being there. But let's see... In no particular order...

    1. Jethro Tull - War Child tour. Ian Anderson prancing around in purple tights and a codpiece, playing flute on one leg, Jeffery Hammond Hammond in a zebra-striped suit where at one point a two-man-zebra creature would appear and shit out tennis balls, which he proceed to juggle! A female string quartet dressed as angels, floating above the band... Just the most amazing live performers ... Nobody could put on a show like Tull in the 70s.

    2. ELP - Brain Salad Surgery tour. Big Stadium with quadraphonic speakers where at one point the sound would spin around the audience. Keith Emerson throwing around a 300-lb Hammond organ, stabbing it with knives and doing feedback tricks like Jimi Hendrix! Just unbelievable!

    3. Yes - Yessongs tour. Anderson, Howe, Squire, Wakeman, and White. Roger Dean stage sets. Just an absolute peak period for one of the greatest prog bands.

    4. Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Center of the Earth. One of the most excessive stage shows ever... Full orchestra and choir, narrator, giant inflatable sea monsters. I was one of the lucky few to catch this famously over-budgeted, under attended tour, and had third row seats! So memorable! Unlike anything else in my life.

    5. Todd Rundgren and Utopia - Ra tour. By far the most elaborate stage show I've ever seen, maybe the most expressive and excessive ever. Giant fire-breathing sphinx that shot lasers out of its eyes. Flame throwers around the stage, fog, wind machines, a water fountain surrounding the drum kit. Roger Powell playing his famous "Powell Probe," the first keytar. All taking place on a giant pyramid stage where at one point Rundgren would climb up the pyramid whilst playing this amazing ankh-shaped guitar, stand at the top and solo above the band, then jump off! Later followed by the smashing of a "glass guitar" made out of ice. Never seen anything like it. The limits of possibility redefined. Can't begin to describe... Mind permanently blown. And once again was lucky enough to have third-row seats! This Youtube video kinda captures the basics:

    Blimey, this is a tough one. My memory is often hazy (not just for gigs), so I tend to have little mental snapshots rather than total recall, but the ones that spring to mind are:

    1. Led Zeppelin at Knebworth, 1979(?). We saw the second one, which was a bit rough, but the last gig they ever did in the UK. My first outdoor concert (completely unprepared!), first time I saw a giant video screen (I think they borrowed it off Elton John), nightmare getting away from it afterwards.
    2. Bowie on the Serious Moonlight tour. We had tickets for Milton Keynes anyway (which was fantastic too), but at the last minute the NEC opened up the seating blocks at the side of the stage and my friend got tickets. Bowie was unbelievable - he just walked out onto the stage, and the whole place was transfixed. He hadn’t actually done anything yet and we were glued. Never seen anything like it before or since.
    3. Weather Report, on the tour for Domino Theory. Amazing, and after they’d finished they came to the front of the stage and were shaking the hands of the audience. Such a lovely atmosphere, very different from the average concert.
    4. Peter Hammill, who was the support act for Marillion’s first big tour (for their first album). Probably as close as anyone’s got to the Bowie effect in my experience. Been a fan ever since.
    5. Black Sabbath on the 13 tour. I’d seen them before on a “farewell” tour with the classic lineup, but this one was special as I took my other half to see them as part of a cultural exchange in the early days of our relationship (he took me to the National Eisteddfod, where his Welsh folk dancing group were doing workshops and performances). Sabbath were really on form, too!

    Honourable mentions:

    • Yes, on the Union tour with two of most things - specifically Awaken, which was magical.
    • Pink Floyd doing The Wall to Earl’s Court.
    • The Cure on the Wish tour, plus seeing the end of Cranes set (support act), which turned me into a Cranes fan immediately.
    • BB King, which was the same weekend as Bowie at the NEC - helluva weekend!
    • Motörhead, who I saw 4 times, I think. Main snapshot memory was towards the end of the first time I saw them, when a lone voice between songs quipped “turn it down” to much laughter. Oh, and the Bomber lighting rig was a thing of beauty.
    • Rammstein on the LIFAD tour, which reactivated my love of (some) metal.
    • Tomatomatic, who were a funk rock band from Northwich (I think) that I saw in a local pub. Never seen or heard anything of them before or since, sadly.
    • Richard and Linda Thompson on their Sunnyvista tour (their last together, I think). While I was at uni.

    Ha! Caught this too. Cobo Hall, Detroit. First (and only) time i got high with my dad. Great show! Also, funny that Wakeman recently toured the US in smallish venues—City Winery in NYC.

    I have two:

    Last concert of Zeca Afonso, a remarkable portuguese musician, one of the icons of the revolution and a personal idol of mine

    @bygjohn ” Bowie was unbelievable - he just walked out onto the stage, and the whole place was transfixed. He hadn’t actually done anything yet and we were glued.”

    I had this same experience once and only once. Leonard Cohen, Carnegie Hall, 1988. The band opened with a vamp. After a few minutes he walked out and there was this sound.

    The sound of 3000 people gasping.

    @JanKun said:

    • Godspeed You Black Emperor (2 times, by far the 2 best live shows I have ever seen, immersive, intense, emotional and life changing experience)
    • Fugazi for their last tour playing mostly songs from End Hits and The Argument
    • Radiohead, incredible memory at the Arena of Arles South of France. It literally stopped raining few minutes before the show and started to rain right after, swallows were dancing in the sky during the whole thing.
    • Sonic Youth (once with the original line up, once with the addition of the great Jim O'Rourke, both equally good)
    • Pixies (first reunion tour with THE ONE AND ONLY Kim Deal at Primavera Sound festival, Barcelona) remember seeing The Fall and Wilco on the same night)

    Other great memories in no particular order: Elliott Smith, Blonde Redhead, Pavement, The Cure, My Bloody Valentine (took me days for my ears to recover from that one 😄), Mogwai, Explosions In The Sky, Dirty Three (Warren Ellis dancing in transe with his violin is some kind of a shamanic experience), Papa M, The National. Special mention for Papier Tigre, a local indie rock trio I had the chance to open for on several occasions with my previous band, they were so good that I had to put them here with all those great bands)

    On my wishlist:

    • IDLES, from the few live footages I have seen, this is one of the best band in recent years, at least to my taste (they will be playing at the Fuji Rock festival in a few weeks but cannot make it, unfortunately😭)

    • The Smiles because Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood are my heroes !

    • Otodoke Beaver. The most incredible punk Riot girl band currently in activity. Check them on YouTube and you'll understand !

    • Godspeed You Black Emperor because 2 times were not enough

    Woah I don’t see an Otoboke Beaver reference that often. But yeah I’d love to catch them live, seem like they’d be great! IDLES is fantastic live! Definitely try and catch them. How did you like their most recent album?

    Great list of bands, though! Fugazi would be a dream band of mine. Pavement as well.

    Aah, Otoke Beaver ! they are from Kyoto and I am currently living there, so I will definitely see them soon (it is actually a shame I haven't seen them yet...) !
    Most recent album of Idles, do you mean Crawler? Not my favourite but I like it. It will be probably very difficult for them to beat "Joy as an Act of Resistance", what a master piece ! Tbh, they could make an entire album with banjo congas and tin whistle, with Talbot on top, I would probably like it 😄 !

  • FastGhostFastGhost

    Public Enemy, Nirvana, Ramones, The Cramps, The Damned. Probably in that order too. Got a right kicking in a mini riot after the Damned gig at Oxford Apollo in 1986.

    The Cramps - upstairs at The Venue Melbourne 1985

    About the same time I saw them, and they were not very good. Most people I have spoken to said they have been either really good or really bad - they didn’t seem to have any middle ground.

    For the music, or the crazy fun I had…? Lol.

    Radiohead - New Jersey
    The Black Keys - very small club in Baltimore, Ottobar, before anyone knew them.
    Unknown Mortal Orchestra - DC
    The Smile - The Anthem in DC, hell of a venue, great box seats.
    HFStival - Baltimore - several, one every summer for like 7 years in a row, or so…
    Dave Matthews - Merriweather - close seats

    HFS it was A local radio station that would run a kick ass concert every year packed with some of the biggest/best bands in the world, like Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine, Silverchair, Just so many all day or multiple day shows with great lineups, I need to think back… I went almost every year and This is back when you had to physically wait in line for tickets, outside a Macy’s or something all night, camping in a parking lot, partying, until the box office at the department store opened, lol.

    That’s a hard one. I’m a little bit younger than some here so haven’t gotten a chance to see some of the classics listed here but top 5 I’d say Jack White, System of a Down, Remi Wolf, Outkast, and maybe The Killers or the Shins?

    Where you see the shins. One of my favorite bands that I haven’t seen yet.

    1. David Bowie at Kungliga Tennishallen in Stockholm 1978
    2. Tin Machine at Cirkus in Stockholm 1991...not really any good but it's still memorable
    3. Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes early 90's in Stockholm (can't remember the venue)... they played for nearly three hours and it was magical...

    There's plenty of great music that has been produced since the beginning of this millennium, so one reason could be that this forum is full of aging farts (if that's the case, I definitely include myself in the stink 😄). Another reason could be that nowadays you need to sell one of your kidney to buy a ticket.

    Me too, and my kids like listening to my stuff (or else 👋), but I’m sure teenagers nowadays would answer this question much differently. For starters they would have no notion of what last century even meant
