KISS at the men arena last year, more so for the fact i have waited over 30 years to see them in the flesh. Fantastic show, obviously not in the their prime and only two of the original members but even so it was well worth the wait.

That was 2010 mate,and yes a great gig! First band I saw way back in 83 and saw the original line up in 96 which has to be one of the best shows ive seen.

Simple minds at Maine Road

Pissed down all day but superb

 

[Televators]

The Mars Volta - Carling Academy, Birmingham.

Can't remember what year - I'd woken up feeling a bit ill in the morning but wasn't going to miss it for the world. It was worth it, even if 6 months later I was still bloody ill.

To many to mention, but-
The Who- Kings Hall 1975
Thin Lizzy- Free trade hall 1977 bad reputation tour
Blue Oyster Cult - FTS 1978 first time any one in Manchester had seen a laser beam
Al Jarreau and David Sanbourn M/cr Apollo circa 84
Pearl Jam at Leeds first festival after Rosskill ( what a return )
Big Country and The Levellers every time I've seen them.
Garth Brooks - Croke Park
And on a country theme Reba McEntire and the Dixie Chicks at the Apollo.

However any live music is better than staying in with a cd, no matter what your taste in music is.
