Who Have You Seen Play Live And Who Was The Best And Who

[in a mo]

I was reading a recent post I made regards to Bob Dylan and one AB'er said that they had seen him recently and he should retire another disagreed which made me wonder if the person who disagreed had actually saw him live recently.
Who have you seen live were you so impressed did it send shivers all over you OR were you so disappointed that this is the only time you can talk about it.For me
Best Muse Unbelievable ,Brilliant
Disappointed. Manic Street Preachers, Like pulling Teeth, laborious,boring,sterile oh I was so disappointed.I at least expected some balls some Rock and Roll or at least a little life .

Shoota. Whoosh.

Lol. His concerts were painful on the giggling kit....

[Jeza]

Ike and Tina Turner in the 60's they were supporting the Stones and stole the show.
Queen one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Also Bob Dylan, the Eagles and Meatloaf.

The worst without a doubt was the Beatles again in the middle 60's. You could not hear a word because of screaming girls.

Crikey I'm showing my age now.

Frank Zappa was the best gig for me, with Pink Floyd coming a close second.
The worst I suppose must be Marillion, I fell asleep half way through!

I would love to have seen Victor Borge, I have seen Rainer Hersch, he is brilliant too. I am hoping to see him again in December.

Free, most of the Motown Artists. Best Tommy Hunt ( live at Wigan Casino ), worst Martha Reeves and the Vandellas at La Dolce Vita rubbish sound system ( small club in Brum ).

I saw victor borge at the barbican in 1992, when he was 83. he announced that he'd decided not to do his phonetic punctuation routine, and would leave it for next time. after a pregnant pause he said. "oh. I can hear you all saying, there isn't going to be a next time...."

Best - Iron Maiden, Alter Bridge, SLF

Worst - Funeral For A Friend

Saw The Police in a smallish venue before they were well known. Same with Split Enz though I'm not sure they became famous.(then)

[Svejk]

the worst, by miles, was Madonna (don't ask)

[RATTER15]

Wish bone ash and James Blunt

James Blunt was excellent.

Who the hell was Wish Bone Ash anyway?

[Svejk]

I like Wishbone Ash.

Hi Zacs, yes re Wilko, your post wasn't there when I started, great performance.
Who the hell is Victor Borge?

Queen put on the best show. I have seen Oasis a few times and went back for more. The Jam were excellent in the late 70s. I really enjoyed Blondie. I also finally got round to seeing Steve Ellis last year- great vocals but he did look fed up at having sung the same set for 45 years.
The biggest surprise was Michael Bolton- I went reluctantly but really enjoyed his show.
I was spoilt as a student at university- we had top bands just starting out and some big names. Police, Dire Straits, Slade, Mud, Buzzcocks, The Motors, Darts, Eddie and Hot Rods, Squeeze, and many I've forgotten
Biggest regret? Not seeing ELO, Eagles, Sweet or Pink Floyd, and having to leave an REM concert (before they were big) early after a power cut as I had to catch the las train

[Mick-the-Miller]

Fleetwood Mac in a pub in Leytonstone in 1969 - Peter Green was great!

...oh and Dire Straits in another pub in Manor Park in East London before they became popular - very good!

[whirlyhurly]

1961 Shirley Bassey singing in Blackpool
1966 The Beatles at the Cavern Liverpool
1980 George Melly & Band Liverpool
These are a few of my favourites.

[Purple_Popple]

Joan Armatrading - fantastic
Coldplay - Excellent
Faithless & Dido - Awesome
The Prodigy - Entertaining !

[whirlyhurly]

The best group I saw was the great voice of Eric Burden & The Animals 1968
