Hi, my first topic post....so here goes....probably been asked before but hey-ho

What's the best gig you've been to recently or ever?

recently went to see Leafcutter John in an art gallery in leicester.
randomly, some girl fainted, people at the back of the room started shouting some crazy things about tundra or something and Leafcutter John was incredibly good,

I saw the Foo Fighters at Leeds, It was *amazing* never danced and sung so much in my life and my god, what a good band live

sex pistols at crystal palace 2002

On Saturday I saw legenday 70s brit funk band Cymande. They only did three tracks as part of an ensemble but they were wicked.

i go to lots of local gigs so u prob won't know anyone i'm talking about but Pinstripe, Far From the Dance & Stateless were a pretty hot combo a couple of weeks ago. Stateless actually supported dj shadow on tour so they r a bit famous. top night & even better i gt to dj between sets

SOunds cool. What type of tunes did you drop?

ooo i know of dj shadow. dj hype is at a local club on easter bank holiday, i might get down to that, i love a bit of drum n bass

nine inch nails brixton academy last saturday - absolutely amazing,

saw pearl jam at reading festival last summer - have a video of the whole gig... always loved em but they got even better after matt cameron from soundgarden joined for yield... jesus must be 10 years ago soon

highlights for the spring/summer:

pearl jam wembley arena and type o negative astoria three days apart in june!

Job for a Cowboy on March 3rd.

enter shikari at brixton academy i was on a high for days after


seen them once more since and they effect was still WOW
ive actually got 2 more tickets to their next gigs!!

Foo Fighters at Wembley in June... they were absoloutley amazing!

Last major artist gig was Iron Maiden at the CIA in Cardiff on the "A Matter Of Life And Death" tour in December 2006. And I found it disappointing, they played the whole album in order taking up the first 80 minutes. And nowhere near enough classics that people really want to hear and the sound was awful.

[I'm a sound technician so I can't enjoy many gigs because I'm always analysing the sound. ]

But the best band I have seen recently was Pitchblend @ my workplace. A band that should be playing the big stage, not to a handful of people in a 250 capacity venue.

First and foremost; Buddy Guy, The guy is ace, and without him Hendrix and Clapton would have quite likely been very different. It was an education!

Newton Faulkner; Great entertainer. Ok it was a small gig in University of Liverpool but he was very good with the crowd and his guitar.
