The best band you've seen live?

[PeteXXX]

So many bands, so little time!!

Most recently, Walter Trout. Brilliant!
Previously, over the years, to many to mention.. Zappa, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Clapton, Santana.

I did work out once that I'd seen about 13 of the bands that played at Woodstock...
Yes, I am an old fart and still remember Woodstock!

 

[Booyaa]

oh yeah, Charlotte Church and then Luciano Pavarotti at Hyde Park was excellent.

Seen many good ones but by far the best was Bruce Springsteen at Glastonbury. What a performance that was, he works so hard like its his first time, he were literally steaming throughout the gig and they had to pay a fine because he overshot the deadline to finish. Amazing!

My mum and dad hadn't even met each other 1975 ..... jus' sayin'

 

[Eribiste]

Pink Floyd at Earl's Court, The Division Bell tour in 1994. No Roger Waters of course, but still a great experience and privilege.

 

[Acyclo]

Bob Marley - Leeds

Oh, and The Stranglers at Kings College London in 1975, when I was a fresher

Saw them in Sheffield, I think in 1977, supported by The Human League [before they went all poppy]...
Best ever was Dire Straits.... loved that.

 

[RedRider]

If you ever get the chance to see (or even play with) Damo Suzuki, do it!

Sounds incredible. Good review!

 

[Salad Dodger]

I have seen Eric Clapton and his band a couple of times at a small venue. So good.......

Rammstein. We've seen them twice in the last 18 months! Can't wait for them to tour again. Next time we will have to watch them in Berlin!
