    As the thread says what band or singer have you seen that absolutely blew you away?

    For me has to be iced earth 2012 in the button factory, their newest singer has some set of lungs.

    I never saw it live but 'A Right Funny Man Darcy' must be one of the funniest live performances ever

    Probably Christy Moore, I've lost count of the amount of times I've been to his gigs.

    Most memorable was my first gig, AC/DC at the RDS Oct 22nd 1982.

    Worse was Bob Dylan in Slane in 1984.

    Bon Jovi at the RDS in 2000 in a biblical thunder storm was unbelievable. They were talking about cancelling Slane the next night if the weather was as bad but Bon Jovi just kept playing and revelled in it.

    ACDC in Punchestown a few years ago were excellent and I'm not much of a fan.

    Worst was Dylan in the Three Arena in 08 or 09. Mixed up his songs so they were unrecognisable and his voice was in sh!t. GNR in the same venue in 2010, when Axl walked off, was brilliant and terrible all in one.

    Also, the only live hip-hop gig I've ever been to in my life was incredible. Souls of Mischief in Crawdaddy c. 2009.

    Someone would have to pay me good money to go see Dylan again.

    Someone I missed and regret is Rammstein.

    Not great and wouldn't pay to see them again were RHCP, very disappointing.

    Damn almost forgot.. U2 360 tour in Croke Park 2009, UNREAL. I'd goosebumps all night. They were supported by The Kaiser Chiefs, brilliant outdoor performance.

    Feile mid 90s , that was my sentiment too. I seem to remember a pause between some songs so everyone could catch their breath and not get stomped at the front.

    Gary Numan in the Cork Opera house a few years ago. Am a big fan of Tubeway Army but just a casual fan of Numan.

    But that gig was the best I've been at. I bought a ticket in the hope he'd play Jo the Waiter. He did and it just got better and better.
