Best/Worst Gig..

Whats your best gig you've been to? and whats the worst?

My best gig YET! will probs have to be the kooks at carling academy in brum, it was mental, but im sure a must have past out a couple of times, cuz i was at the front, then found myself at the back, then all of a sudden at the front again..

I remember watching The Coral at Carling Academy, that was pretty good.

Covstock gigs have always been top too

Oh sounds good, with The Kooks and the Coral too.. Makes me think about how f*cked Denmark is.. -.-"

Well, I think my best gig was The Wombats at Voxhall in Denmark.. Not that I like Wombats THAT much.. But the atmosphere was amazing !
Else it will have to be Last Shadow Puppets or Carl Barât at Glastonbury fest (:

The worst.. umm, might have been a lousy danish band..

Thee Moths Golden Cross.... Dismal




Yay! Clean Sweep!!

my best ever gigs were Carter USm at Cov uni SU, (back when it was opposite the old cathedral)

and NOFX at the Civic Hall in Wolves.

worse gig.....Ian Brown at V festival

My best gig is Will Young at V.

Only joking, it's obviously McFly at V.

Ok, not really.
I did however watch both at V.

You must have been to some pretty shocking gigs if the kooks is your favourite!

Best gig I've been to would probably be Reverend and The Makers at Camden Roundhouse, purely for the fact we got in backstage and were drinking champagne with Arctic Monkeys!

Verve at Glasto was amazing too

Worst gig would be Kate Nash at Glasto, she was shit, completely spoiled my breakfast listening to her howl!

Rev was my favourite at V this year, I think I went abit mental singing all the words at my poor poor friend.

Haha its gotta be done though

Rev is always great live, was brilliant at Glasto, cos Drew from babyshambles came on to play Son of a Gun by The La's, that was a moment for me!

I saw Rev twice at Glasto and Rascals twice, I like bands beginning with R, twice.

So was V any good overall then?

Yes, I spent NO money and carried naffin.

yeah saw the Rascals twice too, were pretty good!

Last Shaddow Puppets were outstanding too, with Jack white coming on

I completely missed MGMT & Shadow Puppets, was gutted. Going see em both in the coming months though so I'm sure i'll survive.

Radiohead at V2006
Arctic Monkeys at the colly (the week bet you look good went to number one, atmosphere was great)
Pendulum at the Custard Factory
Plan B at Birmingham Academy.

There are loads more.

Worse though, pretty much 75% of local bands i've ever seen, some of them were so fucking bad it was unreal.

Babyshambles, Queens of the Stone Age and Pendulum at Leeds 08 - in that order.

White Stripes at the Liverpool Empire, about 2005. Seated but still amazed.

Blink 182 could be one of the worst bands ive seen live

Best gigs, OMDs reunion tour 2007, U2 at the old Wembley the year after City won the cup their and the night I booked Neville Staples at The Spencer Club...fucking great night and INXS at a secret warm up gig in a sports hall in brum..amazing night.

Worst gigs, are mainly shit support acts ive seen over the years, Foals supporting REM were shite, Duke Spirit who support just about every one right now, Lovers Electric who supported OMD last year...and many many more, proving booking agents dont have a clue!
