    1) Journey / Foreigner
    2) Black Country Communion
    3) Cheap Trick

    and now time to throw a cat among the pigeons, having attended the Roger Waters shows , I don't think it should be classed as a gig, it was more like musical theatre. Finding it hard to agree with all the votes here as surely the esscence of a gig is to see the band play live ? when in fact for the vast majority of time the band was out of sight!

    Nah, sure you could hear them, which is the important thing. And I wouldn't say vast Majority of the show. You could see them for most of the first half and a good bit of the second when they came out the front.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Well I can hear and see Westlife and Boyzone too, doesn't mean they're singing live. For all we know Roger and the boys could've f**ked off up to Jury's Inn for a pint and left the tape running. Nah I want to see bands sweat , fist pump and earn their money the traditional way!!!

    Napalm Death last night, brilliant gig and easily the most fun I've had at one this year, even over Flogging Molly.

    The show you nominate has to be an Irish one.

    I know there's no chance of it winning, but Fish's gig at Whelans deserves a nomination at the very least.
