Your best ever music concert?

Cliff and the Shadows, that almost makes my going to see Girls Aloud acceptable. 😂

They were very good. They certainly know how to work a crowd even if not their normal demographic.
Cliff had said, in the interview after, that he was more nervous than a little. Floyd fans are not generally his fans. They were also very funny, there was much good natured banter with each other.

Coldplay at Wembley a couple of years ago was hands down the best concert I’ve ever been to. The whole place lit up with those LED wristbands, and it felt like every single person was part of the show. It wasn’t just a concert—it was this massive, emotional shared experience.
The sound was crystal clear even from the upper tiers, and the visuals were just insane. I’ve seen other big acts live, but no one’s matched that kind of atmosphere.

Saw the Beautiful South at the NIA in Birmingham in, (I think), 1997. They were brilliant, but one of the support acts were even better. That was the first time we had even heard of Barenaked Ladies but they stole the show. We have been to watch them several times since then, but their line-up has changed and some of the music is more bland than it used to be. That night both groups were incredible.

Glasto 2000, David Bowie. Enough said, really. Would give my entire salary for a Tardis to go back & see Pink Floyd.

I saw Pink Floyd just after Animals was released. It was a big disappointment. I could have sat at home playing the album with the volume turned up to have the same experience.
There was no interaction with the audience, barely an acknowledgement that we were there. Everything was played exactly the same as on the album.
It has, however, stayed in my memory longer than ma years other gigs have.

That's Floyd, just reproducing as best they can the albums. A mate who saw them once said it was like the biggest stereo he'd ever heard faithfully reproducing the album tracks rather than stage shenanigans like the Rolling Stones etc. In fact PF I think could be described as quite boring themselves on stage which is probably why their lightshow got so big over the years. Its not really about the bodies on stage but the music.

Early 70's headbanging to Strife at the local civic hall - fantastic power trio who generated a great live sound which sadly didn't transfer very well to vinyl.

Bryan Adams 2007 at Manchester's MEN Arena, utterly brilliant gig, & was gobsmacked by Keith Scott flinging his guitar round his neck, catching it and continuing to play,without it vanishing off into the distance, at the time I was unaware of the existence of strap locks!
