The Killers. Just incredible.

Coldplay are also an absolute revelation.

Seen them three times. Absolutely mental gigs!

Trolling?

I've seen U2, Bowie, Prince, Rolling Stones, Guns and Roses, Oasis, Pink Floyd, The Christians, fuck, even Jean Michel Jarre at Maine Road.

Those two bands are the best live acts I have had the pleasure of seeing. Totally unexpected on both counts.

There are a few stand out gigs I remember...

Machine Head, Manchester Academy, 2004
Fear Factory, Ritz, 2015
Megadeth, Newcastle Apollo, 2008

Honorary mentions for being excellent live also go to: Iron Maiden, Ghost, Levellers, Alestorm, Opeth (before they turned into a prog band), Motorhead, Slayer, and surprisingly Limp BIzkit.

David Lee Roth Wembley Arena 1988 can't sing now could just about hold a tune then but what a showman and seeing Steve Vai and Diamond Dave on stage together on my 18th what a privilege

Red Hot Chili Peppers London Astoria 1990 great gig and got a hand job from a fine looking lady

Was that the Chili Peppers gig where they were all daubed in neon paint? If so, I was there too. However, I neither gave nor received a hand job.
