And all of Nine Inch Nails at Reading in the same year. Just an hour out of time basically, the world could have ended and we wouldn’t have noticed til the big NIN logo appeared on the screen at the end. Lots of random manhugging

Thin Lizzy Glasgow Apollo 1976. the gig much / some / all / none* of live and dangerous was recorded at. I was there and its still the best live gig I have been at.

*delete according to which myth you prefer

don’t have any video, only this guy describing a great ian brown gig at glasto 98. Was utterly emmense, i was fleeing out my nut right in the middle of this madness! Still remember it as one of my favourite gigs, shame there’s no video. **** even sang in tune! 😆 (though that could just be my hazy immagination! :lol:) Though his memory is crazy there was loads of people climbing the rafters!

was there and it was a superb gig. Was unfortunate timing that Primal Scream were playing the main stage at the same time (and apparently delivered a very average set) but I was determined to watch Ian Brown. As it was one of the ridiculously muddy years, it took an absolute age to get up to the area where the gig was taking place and I seem to remember that there was a long delay and he didn’t come on stage till something like 1AM – the anticipation in that tent was amazing – never witnessed anything like it at ANY gig before or since.I seem to remember the crowd going berserk at certain points and at one point the gig was stopped as some guy had climbed up into the tent ceiling framework to get a better view (!) and an announcement was made that if he didn’t get down that this “already now legendary gig will be stopped immediately” – or something to that effect. I remember him coming on with the flame torch and the hood and the first track was Ice Cold Cube, followed by a brilliant version of “See The Dawn”. I remember thinking while I was watching it that it was a really special gig and in retrospect, was easily the best Ian Brown performance I have witnessed, and I have seen a few. I also remember the great curry stall near the tent where he was playing and the feeling that every single scally inside Glastonbury was in that tent! My memory is a little hazy 10 years on (and it probably was the day after the gig due to various reasons!) but it was one of the best things I have watched at Glastonbury and i have always been surprised that it isn’t talked about as one of the “classic” Glastonbury appearences. One thing I remember thinking is when he did “What Happened To Ya Parts 1+2” is that how ironic it was thet The Seahorses had played the day before!

The Pogues! St Patrick’s Day 1985, the best gig I’ve ever been to, second place goes to David Byrne in Edinbrugh in about 1987, was up there for a course and bored got one of the last available tickets on a whim and he was superb.

So very many over getting on now for fifty years of gig-going, having seen Zeppelin at Earle’s Court on the Physical Graffiti tour, Pink Floyd at Bristol Hippodrome on the Wish You Were Here tour in 1974, Thin Lizzy a bunch of times, on the Johnny The Fox and Black Rose tours in particular, The Clash, The Jam, The Buzzcocks, Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Stranglers, all at the Bath Pavilion…
More recently, there have been four that really stood out because they were extravagant, involving, and quite unlike anything I’d seen before: Arcade Fire, at Ally Pally June 2014, Leonard Cohen at Cardiff Motorpoint Arena, September 2013, David Byrne and St Vincent at The Roundhouse, August 2013, and Kate Bush at the Apollo, London, September 5 2014.
All really extraordinary in their own ways, and quite different from each other, two of them were a privilege to actually be there, and will never be repeated.

The Pogues! St Patrick’s Day 1985, the best gig I’ve ever been to

I concur! – the Pogues in 1985 were tremendous. Or was it the crowds? Saw them at Barrowlands the day after Jock Stein died – haven’t experienced an atmosphere anything like it since.

Pixies, 2010 Limehouse.

A couple more photos to add:

Honourable mentions to Van the Man late eighties(?) at Colston Hall with Georgie Fame and Kate St John in the band,

I think I may have been at that one!

Thin Lizzy way out in the lead there

Every Prince gig I ever went to.

Paul Weller, Brixton with Noel Gallagher support and McCartney – 97′ I think.

Fat boy slim, Bar M, Ibiza 2001

1995 in Montpellier – Rolling Stones & Bob Dylan playing Like a Rolling Stone.
Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings…2002ish maybe…Queen’s Hall, Edinburgh. The moment they unplugged everything, went totally acoustic, and the whole audience sat silently listening to the acoustics of the room and their gorgeous harmonies.

I was at Wembley for the Tracy Chapman performance. I don’t think many people knew who she was at the time, I didn’t. She was on a side stage and was there to fill the void between main acts. Lots of people started to filter off to the loos or sit down and chat when she first came on. That stopped after the first few bars of her set. After about a minute it felt like she got the attention of the entire place, proper goosebumps moment.

For me it was the best performance of the day, and the only one that I remember vividly from the two big multi artist Wembley gigs of Live Aid and Nelson Mandela’s 70th.

Just about every band I’ve seen live has been a good night out, from school friends playing punk in village halls, to Blade Chain in the Cock and Pie in Ipswich or blues at the Railway to Metallica and Aerosmith headlining at Donnington. I even tolerated an hour of Extreme live, until they played More Than Words. Ghastly sloppy drivel.

For sheer crowd intensity it probably has to be Pantera at Monsters of Rock.

I would love to have seen Iron Maiden in the mid to late 80’s. Live After Death was a favourite album for me growing up.

(OT- if I could travel back in time, Monsters of Rock 94 is one place I’d like to visit- that’s more or less the day I started really listening to metal. Still got all the radio 1 broadcast on tape. Even if it did have Willie Dowling playing a ****ing keytar)

Northwind that was my first. It was awful you would have hated it 😉

CountZero wins.

The contribution I always roll out on such threads: Nirvana ‘supporting’ Tad at SOAS in 89. Tad came out first. Nirvana came on second. At the end of the gig me and my mate both knew we’d seen something very special, that we’d never forget.

Pogues gigs also of that era and the early Jesus Jones gigs were a lot of fun too.

I found Roger Waters doing The Wall quite emotional, especially when Dave Gilmour popped his head up to do Comfortably Numb, and Mason joined them both for Outside The Wall. Closest I’ll get to a Pink Floyd gig, unless they do play Glastonbury after all.

Queen at Knebworth was probably the single best performance I have seen on the Kind of Magic tour. For different reasons seeing Nirvana open Reading festival, Pearl Jam at Brixton academy, Suede each time I have seen them over the last 20 years, The Who whilst Entwistle was still alive. having seen them twice without him you can appreciate just how good a bass guitarist he was, never heard anyone else nail the bass solo in My generation!!

There’s not many bands I want to see live nowadays, but this is brilliant

I’m with Scotroutes on this with Queen’s Live Aid gig. Partly because I grew up as one helluva Queen fan, but mostly that particular performance was done in front of a crowd that while weren’t hostile, weren’t there to see them especially. And yet they clearly stole that show, to the shame of a few fellow performers…
