Standout Live Performances that hit you.

I saw them in Madrid last year and they were great. Never really knew much of their stuff either.

For me, it would be Radiohead at Glastonbury in 2003 (1997 is the classic one I think, but 2003 was the one that made me get into them in a big way). Only saw it on TV though.

My one and only Glasto appearance to date and they were brilliant (other special mentions for Primal Scream and The Music).

I actually saw Thom York (or however you spell it) out and about and he went into a tent not too far away from where we were pitched........

I can't explain why I have never been back to be honest.

I was at that gig in Huddersfield. Alfred McAlpine stadium as it was known in them days. Think Terrorvision were one of the support acts. Had a brilliant day

Were they any good love (heard mixed reviews on then but there prominent album still sounds great)?

Free Trade Hall, Spectres tour The amazing Blue Oyster Cult. One dance hall mirror ball, laser beams, smoke, great lights and a band that were at their peak.
Mr Cornell at the Bridgewater will always be special along with Big Country at The Barras.

Bruce Springsteen at the Circus Maximus in Rome , stunning performance in a stunning setting :)

Here is Manchester's greatest ever export showing everyone else how live music is done. I dare you to watch it all the way through.

James are superb live. They played the Warrington Parr Hall last year on their intimate venue tour. Absolutely brilliant as were the Bunnymen when they played there later in the year. Went to see James in Stoke this year and Tim hurt his ankle and pretty much had to do the whole show sat down. Sill a top performance.

Morrissey at Blackburn King George’s Hall when unsigned in 2002 was great too.

Oasis at Gmex was good.

Three quickly leap to mind:

Joy Division - Bowden Assembly rooms 1978.... I was only 15 and it blew my mind... visceral...

U2 - Elland Road 1987... Joshua Tree tour, before Bono morphed into a compete twat.... Amazing...

The Who at Liverpool Docks 2104 (I think!) they had Zach Starkey on drums. I was sat right at the front, it was a low stage and I was literally 5 yards from Townshend and Daltrey, unbelievable night!!
