    I just want to see Rammstein again. Sweet merciful Jebus that was an incredible show they put on last Febuary. Even now, just thinking about the opening build up to Sonne gets my heart pumping!

    And So I Watch You From Afar. Holy mother of fucck, that was a gig.

    Band of Skulls were great in the O2 as well.

    And very differently, I saw Steve Cooney play in a little room. Absolute guitar wizard, excellent concert.

    The Prodigy in slane 2009.

    I was there to see Oasis and Kasabian. But I was blown away by the Prodigy, amazing live. The whole was going nuts for them.

    Great day had by all, but then everyone had to walk for about 4 hours before they could get a bus home

    Rammstein and Muse are the 2 best bands ive ever seen live.
    The best gig i was ever at was the Green Day gig in the Ambassador where I got to play drums for them and drink with them after the show. :D

    Ultravox .

    I first saw them play in Dublin way back in the 1980s and didn't see them again until they reformed and played at the Liverpool Philharmonic in 2010 .Then last year they toured again to promote their new album ' Brilliant ' and I so enjoyed the concert at Manchester ,I decided to go see them again the following week at Blackpool .After the concert , I got to meet and have photo taken with Midge Ure ,Billy Curry ( violin /keyboards ) and Warren Cann ( drums ) who all signed my Return To Eden dvd cover .



    The Beach Boys ( 3 times ) ,Status Quo ( 4 times ) and Paul McCartney ( 1) would be also be the other great acts I've really enjoyed in concert .

    Best gig. Probably Ash at the London Astoria way back in 1998. 2000 people moshing to 'trailer' and '1997' was just awesome.

    Worst. Oasis Lansdowne Rd in 2000.

    Arcade Fire are excellent live.

    Found Bob Dylan pretty disappointing.

    Michael Jackson in the early 90s in Parc des Princes in Paris, I was only 11 and I'll never forget it. Unbelievable. Tom waits in Paris a few years ago was one of the best concerts I've been to. Surprisingly Texas (also Paris) was really good back in 97 or 98.
    I saw Bob Dylan twice, it was awful, plain awful.

    Fool's gold in the o2 opening for RHCP last year. Seemed like I was the only one enjoying them in the room as everyone around me was shouting abuse at them, but I much preferred them to RHCP that night.
