i see the debate is going on the u2 thread, who is better live, springsteen or U2, so i thought i'd ask, whats the best gig you've been to/whos the best live act you've seen?
was at U2 on the monday night and although it was a great spectacle, for me it was nowhere near the best gig i've seen
I saw Radiohead in marlay park (supported by Beck) a few years ago which i would rate as probably the best
others which were class
Kings of leon last year in melbourne- seen them 4 times in otal , but this was by far the best
the frames- , Glen Hansard is a great frontman esp in a small venue
Rage against the machine last year at oxegen
the flaming lips a few years ago at oxegen, bizarre show, but great!
Red hot chilis at slane in 2003
St. Anthony's Parish Hall, Craigavon c. 1996: Scooter
Morrissey last yr in cork marquee .... perfect sized crowd....
U2 last friday night. thought it was top quality

Unfortunately Nail I know you were actually there!!
Super Furry Animals, T in the Park 2003. Rock and roll.
Probably Red Hot Chilli Peppers at City of manchester stadium a few years ago! Went to see them at sheffield two years ago and it was spoiled by w*nkers pissing in plastic beer bottles and chucking them away into the crowd - has anyone else experienced this? seen a few times at gigs in england over the years!!

Course I was, I'm not a liar!! I was very proud that Scooter would come to Craigavon to play a gig, in our parish hall no less such was the fan base they had in the Lurgan/Craigavon area at the time!
They only played about three songs though and were completely baked.
Bowie in the point a few years ago was top quality.
The Stunning came on after Brian Adams in Féile in 1992 and blew the place apart.
Been to Radiohead and loved them live.
I've seen the Chillis live twice, 1 good, 1 poor (Phoenix Park).
Agree about the Frames live but Vicar Street isn't Croker.
Saw Oasis in Lansdowne 1999 (?) very good also.
U2 Saturday night is up there with anything I've seen (that may fade with time).
Boyzone in Dungannon Leisure Centre in 96 or was it 95
For entertainment alone it is Rod Stewart, Odyssey November 2007, two and a half hours non-stop of cheesy hits.
For craic and novelty factor, Oasis in Prehen - September 2002.
Violent Femmes in Vicar st - 2003

agree with that, seen them at slane and though tthey were first class, coulnt wait to see them again, then at the phoenix park gig and they were very poor and sound was a bit off
Sunstroke in Dalymount back in 1994 or 1995 - great line up - Black Frank, Terrorvision, Hemlet, Ice Cude, Therapy and RedHotChilliPeppers to finish. Complete mayhem all day at the front. Therapy were brillant and stole the show.
U2 - RDS 1993 (?) for Zoo Tv was a sight to behold at the time. Took concerts to a different level.
Oasis in point, the time Liam cried off and Noel took lead viocals. Crazy atmosphere that night.
U2 - Croke Park 360 tour.
Bruce - RDS gig on The rising tour.
Springsteen in Slane 1985.....streets ahead of everything else I have seen....
Followed by U2 last Saturday night and both of the last U2 Slane concerts.....
Closely followed by Queen in the RDS in, I think, 1983......they were suspiciously good if you know what I meant...i.e. note perfect in every song ???
http://www.folk.ee/festival/en/XVII-Viljandi-Folk-Music-Festival/
Folk music festival in estonia, we were touring around estonia and stumbled upon this, never had as much craic in my life. There was an irish band playing that we never heard so myself and my mate told all teh locals that we were the. All went well till we met them! They were all young lads from dublin and they were great craic, we ended up showing about 300 locals girls irish dancing while they were playing. Surreal! Ended up having dinner with the irish ambassador ( who said he had heard of our antics)
My brother was at Slane in 1992 ( I think) for Guns n Roses, some of the oul hands here were there I am sure, he says that was a great gig.
The Coronas are the best band ive seen live.
T'Pau in the Glenavon in 91-unforgettale(unfortunately)
Tom waits in dublin, soul asylum <pre runaway train days> in london, joe pernice in dublin and soundgarden in manchester. No particular order
I'd have to say that I really enjoyed ACDC against all odds!
Date: Wednesday 28th November 1990
Venue: Newry Sports Centre
Band: Status Quo
Killer concert
Rossi stole the show ;D

I think Queen were that good. All top quality musicians in the Bowie (& band) vein. I had a job at Slane '86 but wasn't allowed go!
Couple of class gigs:
Rolling Stones ~ Slane
Old Crow Medicine Show ~ Open House Fstival 2007
Prodigy ~ Kings Hall, 1996
But 1st time seeing Oasis was my favourite gig. Cork, 1996
U2 Leisureland Galway January 1982 there was only about 300 at thew concert, I still have the ticket with 3 autographs on the back the only one I didn't get was Larry due to him being to busy chatting to 2 females from the audience.
U2 in Lansdowne Rd on the night princess Diana died. Unreal concert. Last weekends concets were almost as good though.

One of my mates was working as a bellboy in the Clarence Hotel that night, Naomi Campbell was staying with a shit load of stars. When she got word Diana had dies she broke down and my mate had to carry her to her room and 'comfort' her for about 20 mins. Dont know if he dropped the paw or not.

Great story... she didn't assault him did she?
Band: Snow Patrol
Date: 23rd May 09
Venue: Columbiahalle, Berlin, Germany
Capacity: 3500
front row, brilliant concert
Okkervill River, downstairs in McHughs.
Small gig but was brilliant
I saw Pearl Jam at Southside Festival in Germany 2 years ago and it was head and shoulders the best gig I was ever at. After that..
New model Army 07 in Temple Bar
ACDC in Punchestown was top notch
System of a Down at Ozzfest a couple of years ago were some craic
Tool at Ozzfest same year was unreal
Noone's beat Scoooter
Best gig I was at, by a long deep puff, was the Grateful Dead, 3 nights x 4 hour sets at Alexander Palace London in mid 70's
A few of us wandered innocently into the soundcheck jams a few days beforehand and didn't leave until 5 days later.
There was a c&w singer with us, he ended up on stage during the soundchecks singing Whisky in the Jar while the band picked up the tempo.
Went to a few music festivals but not really my scene. Though Van Morrison, Captain Beefheart and Tim Buckley in the afternoon over 2 Knebworth festivals stand out.
Gareth Brooks, Belfast circa 2000
1.Big country 95 (96?) village (or whatever the fcuk it was called - wexford st Dublin

Ray Lynam. Wiki is your friend.
The Rolling Stones, Bangalore, 2003. Front row tickets for about twenty quid. It started raining for the first time in about two months and continued for the whole concert!
The Boss and Oasis concerts a couple of years back in the Odyssey stand out too.
It's funny how everyone is listing practically every gig they have ever attended to make it look like they are 'into' music.
Best one I've been to was Slane this year. Gem Archers Don't Look Back In Anger Solo was amazing. The Prodigy were probably better than Oasis
Oxegen 07 Green Room
ocean colour scene
Queens of the stonage
the 1big one s nearly always the e mine was croke park '86
didnt like them them dont like them now but what a show , i dont think they've bettered it .
t yb iiiiiiiiiiii ol our debs was on the night before and most of us continued the party on to the train and all day during the concert . can you imagine the stae of us that evening,
next best was the maimin ceile band and sean keane et al in the tabhdhearc in 1997 a session of the highest calibre

I was at that myself but was disappointed. Axel was up his own hole by this stage of their career. I have seen Velvet Revolver 3 times and enjoyed those concerts far more.

Would that have been around 94? I remember walking with one of my mates to the queue and never been as scared in my life! He was all decked out in the gear but i would have been in my wollly jumper and jeans. My mate was there with all his mates from Cavan, you werent there with any boys from Ballyjamesduff by any chance?

Would be reluctant to go back and see him after that. Probably will though :-\
Bruce on his last night last year, and on Sunday this year.
Roll on Giants Stadium!
Non Springsteen honourable mentions-
REM in the Olympia 2 years back were excellent too.
CSS are class live.
The Strokes in the Point about 3 years back were savage.
Chilli Peppers in Slane.
The Stones in the point About 5 years ago.
KOL last year in the O2.
Saw Primal Scream in the Limelight back in the ould student days and ended up on the piss with Mani... MAD.
Oh... And the Stone Roses and REM, who started my love of live music in the glorious Summer of 1995!

Could have been. I was with a few lads from home that went to St Pats in Cavan (didn't go there myself) and there were other lads with them - they could've been from Ballyjamesduff. I remember as well one lad thought he got prodded with a needle at the gig and was shitting it afterwards - think he ended up going to hospital and getting checked out for it. When you think back it was awful spot to go. Some amount of scum hanging around looking for a row, robbing tickets and the like outside.
Did anybody see Queen when they came to Ireland.
I didn't, just curious how they got on.

My brother was a hairy mama in his day into early Metallica, Megadeath, Slayer and all that stuff. He still talks about the gigs in the SFX and the Top Hat in Dun Laoghaire. It would say that anything could and did happen at those gigs and the venues would be closed on the spot nowadays.

Didn't even know they played Belfast, I have watched them on youtube so many times - brilliant songs and great music.
Springsteen and the E streets at RDS this year, last year, four years ago.
Have Seen Christy on a few occasions when he has not been at his best. Saw him at Sydney Town Hall late 80's and he was absolutely on fire,
Thin Lizzy one Easter Monday in Dundalk god knows how many years ago, Saint Philo Lives on.
Glen Tilbrook (formerly of Squeeze) in the Waterford Forum last year, almighty crack and christ does he have a top class catalogue.
And of course the Ziggy Stardusts of provincial Ireland in the late 70's, Horslips at too many venues to reproduce around the Cavan/Monaghan area.

In fairness you cant blame Christy for not wanting to be in Silverbridge.
My top 10
1) Melissa Ethridge and the Eagles (Hell Freezes over tour) 1994
2) Jimmy Buffett All Concerts
3) Bodeans and U2 1987
4) Prince and the Revolution Purple Rain Tour 1985
5) Pink Floyd 1987
6) David Allen Coe 1999
7) The Cult and Billy Idol 1987
8) John Cougar Mellancamp Scarecrow Tour 1986
9) Stevie Nicks and Dan Henley 2007
10) The Monkees 1988
General Fiasco and Deep Fried Funk at Glasgowbury 09. General Fiasco are bound to make it big within the next year or two! And Deep Fried Funk had the place absolutely bouncing with beats pumping all night...bonkers...
Chilis 01 or 03 at Slane were probably the best
Oasis or U2 at Slane both excellent, Green Day at T in the Park were brilliant too.
For sheer craic hard to beat the Pogues live, Saw Doctors too.

Yes, lads from Derry,play around Galway alot.They were at Oxygen and at the Picnic this year. One of my mates who is mad into all the new music reckons they will be huge in the next few years.I was very impressed with them that nite and they seem to have a right following already.

It's funny how everyone is listing practically every gig they have ever attended to make it look like they are 'into' music.
Best one I've been to was Slane this year. Gem Archers Don't Look Back In Anger Solo was amazing. The Prodigy were probably better than Oasis
your obviously not 'into' music
best: radiohead @ the SEC, OK 'puter tour 97ish
or anytime I've see the frank and walters
