My Top 5:

Brian May in Hamburg 93 & 98
Iron Maiden Hamburg 99
Kiss Hamburg 97
Mike Oldfield Hamburg 99

My favourite gig ever was probably Mansun at Central Station, Wrexham, in 2002, the one and only time I got to see them. Little did I know at the time that they would split up after the tour and the new songs they were previewing would not get released until a couple of weeks ago! I wish I'd taken a recorder to catch it on tape!

Electric Six at Central Station in 2003 was also a great gig, very energentic and I was taken aback by seeing twin lead guitars for the first time when I saw Wishbone Ash live at Telford's Warehouse in Chester in 2004.

Off to see Bloc Party hopefully this weekend, wonder whether that will rate up there?!

1 The Freddie Mercury Tribute
2 Metallica, Cunning Stunts, Birmingham 97
3 Velvet Revolver,Manchester,Sept 04
4 Monsters of Rock 95, Metallica, Skid Row, Snakepit, Slayer, White Zombie, Donnington Park.
5 Black Sabbath, Last Supper. Birmingham Dec 99
6 Roger Taylor, Stoke on Trent, March 99
7 Bon Jovi, Stoke On Trent, 01
8 Brian May, BTTL,Manchester June 93
9 White Zombie, Wolverhampton 96.
10 Skunk Anansie, Manchester 97.

This is my top 10. The worst gig ive ever been to was Linkin Park, Manchester 03. They were shite!!

Probably Pat Benatar with Red Rider opening, 1983 I think. A close 2nd would be Loverboy with Joan Jett, probably the same year. Hall & Oates were lots of fun though.. the saxist came into the audience and ran around. Willie Nelson was quite fun circa 1984.

Hm.. Probably a Styx concert I went too....It was fun though.

I am guessing since I have only gone to one real concert, I am going to have to go with that one. Michael W. Smith and Mercy Me (2004) and the company was great!

I saw Van Halen (Yes with Hagar...) Sept 5. and it was unbelievable...I can't believe how great they still look and sound. It was the best...Whooooo!!! VH!!!! :-))

Ohh I also saw Fleetwood Mac, it was okay...

I saw Fleetwood Mac too... and it was a boring one to be honest.

*grumble* I've never been to a concert. There aren't many concerts that I'm that interested in going to anyway. I once had the oppurtunity to go to a Bob Dylan concert, when I was 10 or 11. *sigh* All I have are 3 Queen concerts that I've downloaded in the past few weeks. Even though I love those, it's no fun watching them by myself. Then I feel bad when I make others watch, cause I know they don't really want to.

I've been to a couple school band concerts. Do those count?
