Best gig of the last 12 months?
-
I’m sure it’s been done before but the comment about Katy Perry not being able to sing live got me thinking.
For me, British Sea Power at the Brum Academy or Ocean Colour Scene at the same place. Pendulum also deserve a mention but I don’t think I was quite drunk enough to fully appreciate them.
Posted 12 years agoThe Greenman festival was great, even considering the mud, Black Mountain, Alela Diane, Cave Singers, Pentangle, Iron and Wine were all good.
Posted 12 years agoGuilliemots were awsome at the Oxford Academy
Posted 12 years agoKillers in Dublin was top of my gig list for last year. Supported by Bloc Party who were pretty good too 🙂
Posted 12 years agoFoo’s at Wembley – got to the front barrier ahead of 80,000 people.
Fantastic 🙂
Posted 12 years agoSigur Ros – Bristol Colston Hall – truly mind blowing!
Posted 12 years ago
Second choice would be either James (Colston Hall) or Primal Scream (Carling Academy)Does It Offend You Yeah? @Southsea Wedgewood Rooms
Bloody marvellous. (thats my review, not another band name)
Posted 12 years agoSaw more gigs last year than in the previous decade (due to inability to bike)
Highlights were:
Tom Waits in Ediburgh
Nick Cave in Sheffield
Goldfrapp in Leeds
Bruce Springsteen in ManchesterLooking forward to
Tinewara (or however they spell it)
Hamell on TrialBut guess this year will be less as now back on bike and spending cash on that
Posted 12 years agoHas’nt been one for me. Instead I got to escort my daughter to the likes of Escape the Fate. Eliot Minor etc etc all year. But she was 16 a few days ago so I can just leave her to it now.

And I’ll be dragging her to P J Harvey in April to give her a proper musical ed-u-mication.EOTR festival was good – Mercury Rev esp, but Flaming Lips in Belfast was best of this year – brilliant, what a show!

Git! Sorry, just jealousy. Saw them at Live Earth @ Wembley, but only a few songs – still the best on the line-up.

Posted 12 years agoDave – RATM: Are they gigging again? Original line-up?

Best outside gig was without a doubt ELbow in Del’ Forest, truly anthemic outdoor stylee songs there
Posted 12 years agoSpiritualized, Glasgow ABC. I’ve seen them about 7 times and this was the best I’ve seen them. Seasick Steve there early last year was good too.

Posted 12 years agoSpringsteen at Emirates or Goldfrapp at Brixton.
