Mine was seeing Kiss on their 'Psycho Circus' tour in 1999.Great live show,even if Ace Frehley did hit the odd duff note. Also saw Godsmack in a club in Boston in the States in the late 90's just after their first album came out.My girlfriend at the time had relations there and one of her cousins used to go to the same High School as 2 of the members of the band.It was a great show and the atmosphere was mad!!. #1 67 Replies Related Threads

Amazing the car made it all the way, as it was in a proper state Anyway, great show, Fugazi played brilliantly, great atmosphere, and only Â£6 entrance Been to countless gigs since, none have topped that yet Honorary mentions: As Friends Rust and Grade at the Underworld, late 2000 Botch and Dillinger Escape Plan, also at the Underworld, 2000 #2

Best acts I saw there, for various reasons were: Kings of Leon Red Hot Chilli Peppers (very sureal) The Macabees The klaxons One night I was just staying in and I got a call from a mate saying he had a spare ticket to Dizzee Rascal. Went to that and it was bloody good. Did it really well. He came on with some of his classics, then his newer tunes, one of them mixed with an Arctic Monkeys tune and then it went into a set full of hip hop/indie/rock classics. Nirvana - teen spirit etc. Then a beat boxer came on who was decent. Finished up with some of his classics. Great gig.

Parkway Drive+ Bury Your Dead, Suicide Silence and Shaped By Fate at Nottingham Rock City Would have been even better if it wasnt for 'hardcore dancers'...and the fact that Suicide Silence might be the worst band in existance. But the best so far would have to be The Black Crusade @ NEC Arena last year...standing tickets about 3 rows from the stage, ****ing epic #9

That's the one mate Type O played an extended set because Static X were absent, so that was a double win for the fans. Great atmosphere I thought Wonder if I bumped into you? #10

Best gig i have been to is The Foo Fighters in hyde park with queens of the stoneage, motorhead, juliette and the licks and angels and airwaves. Nothing better than a gig in a park with 90,000 people and a lot of beer. #13

Nothing better than a gig in a park with 90,000 people and a lot of beer. I'd have to say that in my view, the opposite is true. I prefer a smaller venue The atmosphere at large festivals is inherently diluted. I have nothing against festivals, they're just not as intense as dedicated gigs #19

Probably helped that it was sunny aswell. #20
