Haven't been to as many gigs as I'd like to, and a lot of these I saw when I was younger and should have known better, or I was dragged along by a 'mate'. So, from what I remember...
The Good: The Fall The Hives The Coral (back when they were any good) Interpol The Bellrays The Buff Medways Soundtrack Of Our Lives The Rumblestrips The Thrills Art Brut The Metros To My Boy The Animals The Datsuns Madness The Bad: Longview Phantom Planet The Wombats The Donnas The Polyphonic Spree The Near-Misses (or when fate got in the way!): The Specials David Bowie Nick Cave Grinderman Elvis Costello Oasis The Young Knives The Prodigy Soulwax Steel Pulse Baaba Maal The Undertones Lee Perry |

I thought they were alright too. It could have something to do with the fact that they were playing after Interpol and The Thrills and after enduring them i could have probably been tempted to put a bullet in my head, but i quite liked The Polyphonic Spree.

 Of the ones I remember particularly fondly, I only still listen to 5 or 6 of them these days. Everyone needs to go to a Madness or Hives gig at least once in their lives. Most of them were just good fun in the live environment - stuff like Art Brut, the Thrills and the Metros put on a good show, but I wouldn't be caught dead with an album of theirs. Longview just bored the crap out of me, but looking back the Polyphonic Spree weren't actually as bad as the others. Just not really my kinda thing. And, as I think I've said before, if you ever want to crush a man's will to live, take him a to Wombats gig. |

near misses for me:
Pink Floyd (1994) Birth of my first son conspired against me bless him Fields Of The Nephilim (played locally at the height of their powers) Obituary (had tickets but money really fecked it up as it was in London) Iron Maiden ( I have never seen them and again had tickets for them 2 years ago but logistically impossible at the time) Hayseed Dixie- played locally a few times but somehow never got to see them and they are meant to be brilliant live.
