    Steve Aoki at Cork OH, when was that?

    Mine would be Red Hot Chilli Peppers at Slane, great weather, Feeder, PJ Harvey, QoTSA, Foos, and RHCP. PJ was a bit of a let down but the day took off with Feeder and never looked back.

    Also Calvin Harris in Vegas, DJ set, his first Saturday night in Hakkasan. Made better as we struck a deal to get in 10 minutes before he came on (2:20am) and then accidently walked into the VIP area and were allowed stay there as we'd hit the bar heavily before getting spotted without tags.

    Was at that slane aswell, definitely my no 1. Brilliant concert

    Ozzy in McGonagles. Right at stage with Aimee throwing buckets of water on us.

    In more recent times RATM at the O2 was epic!

    Leonard Cohen in Dublin...breathtaking and such a humble man, he really seemed truly grateful for the warm reception he received.

    Not sure it was the best gig I've been to, but his july 2009 gig in the point was superb. The musicianship is excellent. Same gig as his London O2 dvd but I think that was 2008.

    Can give honourable mentions to so many but a few great gigs in recent years:
    2nd night of U2 I&E in the point nov 2015
    Tom Petty at the point june 2012
    Prince malahide 2011
    Springsteen Seegar sessions nov 2006 at the original point.
    Jean michel jarre at the point october 2016

    Basically a common theme is a lot of great gigs especially in the new point.

    Been to 100s.

    I guess Kate Bush in London was pretty immense, and the fact she hadn't played in 35 years and probably won't again puts it into the rare pleasure.

    U2 Pop Mart in Landsdowne was spectacular.

    Radiohead in a tent in Punchestown around the release of Kid A was pretty damn good too.

    Yeah i'd have to agree Rammstein are definitely top of the pile. That was 5 years ago now.

    The only other gig that I would have any where near it would be Daft Punk at oxegen 2007. Never seen anything like it.

    I can't pick one, here are a couple:

    Dream Theater, The Marquee (London), 1993. This was the night they recorded Live at the Marquee. I could tell they were going to be big. :cool:
    Steven Wilson, Queen's Hall (Edinburgh), 2015.
    James, Olympia Theatre, 1999 (I think). Singer Tim Booth was literally climbing the walls, all the way up to the balcony. :eek:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.
