Live performances you feel so lucky to have been at.

[FCBarca]

Not a big fan of Coldplay but saw them live in the Bay area years ago and it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. It was right after MJ had died and they did a cover medley of Jackson songs and it was quite special

Julian Cope in a small venue in London where we basically just suggested music for him to play, felt very lucky to be there

The Cure in a small venue in UK, very emotional

Smashing Pumpkins in Chicago, really memorable

Ayo in Switzerland, one of my first concerts in the country and I was not prepared for the difference in atmosphere - magical

Kool & the Gang in Milwaukee many years ago, first time I can recall the entire audience dancing like it was a private party

Not a concert per se but an after party in Chicago to see Jay Z & R Kelly - we snuck in and they were freestyling, well it was incredible

Neil Young at his home =) That will be hard to forget

Oasis 10 years of noise and confusion
10 April 2001 - Manchester Apollo
Incredible! Only 1000 people in attendance. Had to queue overnight for 20 hours for tickets though!!

Great gig
Mental at the front that one!

 

[forlorn hope]

My one and only Bowie gig. Most people around me were bored rigid (me included) as he didnt do any of the hits until either Rebel Rebel or Gene Genie at the end and that was it. Think the Glass Spider was a double album and he just went through that on the night.

Was more entertained by Alison Moyet and Terence T Darby.

Went to see Bowie at Milton Keynes Bowl few years earlier and was excellent but saw Glass Spider at Wembley whilst propping up stage with broken ankle so could see him checking time incessantly and backing singer covering most of his songs - not impressed.

No I saw them about 4 times around that time and really enjoyed them but not kept up. I listened to the album (last year?) but too much other stuff has pushed them out I’m afraid. Worth pursuing?

Think so. Depends if you buy or stream. Probably some stuff on YouTube to see
