I'm very jealous you got to see Nico. She was a bit before my time (died the year before I was born) but I love her voice.

Never really went to a bad gig. Having seen Bruce Springsteen twice, you would have to be a deaf narcoleptic to have even a hope of falling asleep at one of his gigs.

Neil young was the worst i have ever been to half way through the gig everyone was just standing around chatting while he was playin a twenty minute solo
No talking to the crowd and did an encore of a beatles song
And no rockin in the free world

1) The Pastels, Mean Fiddler, 1998
2) Sigur Ros, Electric Picnic
3) Cutting Crew, Bridge Hotel, 1988

I reckon Cliff Richard, Daniel O'Donnell and Ronan Keating would be hard to beat.

Thought Oasis were very poor the first night they played Cork. I imagine they were hungover from the big knebworth concert.

Was anyone here at that Cat Stevens concert in the 02 a few years back? You know the one where a heckler made headlines by shouting out "Play Peace Train You Fcuking Bollocks". Apparently he played all obscure and new material and even brought out special guest Ronan Keating at one stage who was met by a chorus of boos from the frustrated audience.

Considering he's now called "Yusuf Islam" I wouldn't expect him to be wrecking the gaff like.

The Backwards Man · 06-12-2013 11:52PM

Meatloaf.

Listen to him on the wireless, don't waste your dough on a live show.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The only people who like Bruce Springsteen are culchie college students up in the 'big smoke' for a few years doing their degrees.

I can see them all now, jumping around some bar in the city centre at 2am, absolutely mangled drunk, thinking they're 'rocking out' to Bruce. Absolutely tragic stuff.

Utter b*llocks, myself and my buddies are council estate as they come and we went to the Boss in Páirc Uí Caoimh and it was absolutely f*cking mental carry on altogether.

I went to see Rod Stewart in Las Vegas and that was also unbelievable.

The best gig I was ever at was The Sawdoctors in Stamford Bridge.

Cliff Richard has his moments. Some diamonds among the rough.

Guaranteed to cure your insomnia within 10 minutes if you attend the following concerts

1)James Taylor
2) Neil Diamond
3)Christy Moore
4)Leonard Cohen
5)Johnny Logan

The first live concert I ever went to was Neil Diamond in Landsdowne Road a few years back. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It helps when you know all the words.

The same for Rod Stewart when he played in Kilkenny.

You either have to be of the age or been inculcated into their music from an early age.

Kings of Leon

A bunch of flannel shirted statues going through the motions. Never again.

I can't think of many things worse than a mumford and sons concert. I'm still trying to work out if they're some sort of comedy act joke band

ericsinjun · 07-12-2013 09:18AM

Eagles, MEN Arena late 90's. Might as well have put on a cd.
Dylan Pearse Stadium. Disaster.

Stumbled upon a Katrina and the waves gig at a pub in London about 25 years ago ,shocking ,i still get nightmares about it

So they're not Red Hot anymore?

jaykay74 · 07-12-2013 10:29AM

Simple Minds doing a stadium rock style performance in whatever that venue at the top of O'Connell street is a few years back. Rubbish.

Counting Crows same place.

Wasn't much of a fan of Simple Minds but hoped for better from Counting Crows.

Half of what makes a concert good is showmanship, shared experience and having the general craic. The likes of Rod Stewart and the Sawdoctors have that in spades.

iwantmydinner · 07-12-2013 11:26AM

Saw Simple Minds in Fitzgerald Stadium in 2004. I still get angry the odd time thinking about the wasted time.

kellso81 · 07-12-2013 12:22PM

I'll preface this by saying I'm a big radiohead fan, and In rainbows is one of my favorite albums of theirs, but the contcert in Malahide castle a few years back just bored me, apart from the encore when they did paranoid android!

Saw KoL at Oxegen '08, dreadful stuff. I actually really like their music, but they have to rank among one of the worst live acts of all time.

That RHCP are shit live really crushes me, as I love their music too. It felt like I was watching a 2nd rate cover band. John Frusciante in particular didn't seem to be able to reproduce anything he recorded on the albums.

stefan idiot jones · 07-12-2013 12:55PM

1. The Prodigy Unplugged
2. The Chemical Brothers Unplugged
3. KLF Unplugged
4. Death In Vegas Unplugged
5. Bentley Rythym Ace Unplugged

Not exactly a snorefest, but nice and peaceful for a little snooze.

Sir Gallagher · 07-12-2013 12:58PM

The National, pure cry bah music.

Were you at the first gig? There seems to have been a lot of unhappy people after that show who complained about it being boring. I was at the second one, and while it wasn't the best Radiohead gig I've ever been to, I did enjoy it a lot. I think the venue was the real problem though, it was too open which didn't help the atmosphere.
