Biggest - AC/DC & Metallica - Donington '91 about 80k (check the YouTube video) Best? Can't decide - Dr Feelgood, Georgia Satellites, Scorpions, Judas Priest (City Hall night of my 18th birthday) and a few more that I've probably forgotten
Guns N Roses at gateshead in 92, i was 11. Original Black Sabbath at Ozfest in 2001, Metallica, Slipknot, Foo Fighters
Biggest band I've seen live is probably the Stones at Earls Court in 1976 Best I've seen is....... Ghost at Leeds AC/DC at Middlesbrough Town Hall 1977 Rush at Newcastle City Hall 1978 or 79 Thin Lizzy - City Hall (several times) Judas Priest aww f*ck it, thers too many to mention really Loudest noisiest f*uckers I ever saw were Girlschool and a bloke called Bernie Torme. That tw*t had me ears ringing for a week. He was good though.
Ah I was there, preferred Ozzfest 98 overall as rest of the line up for 2001 was very nu metally, but they did have Tool and Slipknot on the Iowa tour there, which was badass.
My first festival got the coach down from central station at something like 3am, took what i was wearing and got burnt to a crisp. I remember Amen were playing the 2nd stage while Tool were setting up, tool fans hurling bottles of piss at casey chaos. Love a metal crowd.
Not counting festivals, Rammstein at the Milton Kenynes Bowl was probably the biggest Best? Probably one of the smaller 250 - 1000 people gigs. Shinedown and Birthday massacre were both really good
Slade at the city hall around 73 was my first. Seen UB40 a dozen times, Beautiful South a couple. Favourite venue by far is the Cluny.
6 Nights, 6 Albums, 6 Shows - Less Than Jake - 11-16th September (2007) Pezcore Losing Streak Hello Rockview Borders and Boundaries Anthem In With The Out Crowd A week in a complete haze, smoking and drinking before, during and after, trashed my mates Dad's lush London pad partying, covered a bronze 4ft statue of a panther in mango juice - wild times.
"covered a bronze 4ft statue of a panther in mango juice - wild times", god i hope that's not a euphemism.
I've been to quite a few pretty impressive raves and club nights over the years, but not many incredible concerts, truth be told. Sasha, Digweed, Dave Seaman, James Zabiela, Carl Cox...that's my passion, musically. Kaisers, Kasabian, Keane (all the K's...), Franz Ferdinand... random selection. We get a few Forest gigs in Dalby - best being Ashcroft recently, Weller and again Keane. Saw Bryan Adams there last yar (won VIP tickets) and he was excellent, actually. The Levellers did the first ever one there, and looking back that was actually the best - and absolutely mental. Seen Chemical Brothers a few times over the years (they weren't top of my billing in the years gone by...), but recently seen them twice in the last 4 years and were excellent both times. Best though was Queen (less the real Freddie) in Kiev (Euro's final in 2012). Elton John was on the same bill.... both excellent, and Kiev main square was rocking.
Was one of the times I saw Slade. Think this was their "Slade Alive" tour which had The Sensational Alex Harvey Band as support, who were brilliant as well. Previous year they were supported by an unknown band going by the name of Thin Lizzy. which was brilliant as well.
No it was quite literal and it wasn't like mango juice out of a carton or anything - it was fully grown ripe and plump mangoes we were launching around this place, exploding.
