Best act you've seen live?

[{{909}}]

Orbital were great when i saw them at glasto a few years ago, ive not really seen alot of live acts to be honest, being into electronic music limits the amount of live performers there is!
Ive seen Squarepusher a few times and thats always alot of fun and his younger brother Ceephax playing live is an experience
Went to see Aphex Twin at glasto too but as usual he didnt turn up.

Sounds weird but id really like to hear an orchestra live, must be getting old.

Michael Jackson was good at Don Valley in Sheffield about 5 years or so ago

That was 1997 m8 - 9 years ago

Was it really? fuck me time flies. Thinking back i think i was about 20ish at the time.

You a big MJ fan then Raptor?

Radiohead in the Cardiff International Arena, around '99 was a great gig.. also Underworld at V98 (I think - maybe 99) when it was hammering down, Massive Attack also at V, when they announced they were splitting up, then didn't.

The Super Furries are always great live.. also like The Zutons. I used to like the Stereophonics live until they got bored of doing it (their more recent shows are half-arsed) and I got bored of listening to them.

I saw Robbie Williams at Knebworth, wasn't a huge fan of his before but gf got tickets and dragged me along with her mates but it was a real good show!

I think it was more of the atmosphere that was created from the huge crowed.

Was also dragged to Justin Timberlake show but i don't talk about that!!! !!!

You don't get many shows down here. Bristol is about as far south west as the come!

Ohh did see Artful Dodger live...they were awesome too!

So I see a few talking about V, do you go to Staffs or Chelms?

Any Lightyear gig (especially the Yeovil Show in July 2006)
Tenacious D at Brixton
Dropkick Murphys (with The Bouncing Souls) at Brixton - Never drunk so much Guiness in one night before or since.

Antimaniax at Camden Underworld, where I slipped and ruptured my ankle ligaments, they put me on the guestlist for the next show to make up for it

I saw Reel Big Fish who were great but the lead singer had a sore throat so another took over for him and kept forgetting the words of where have you been! Me and my mate were singing it right though

They also forced someone in the croud to give up their dinosaur baloon (they sent a security man to make the person give them it!!)

[CominAtcha]

Certainly wasn't Robbie Williams at the MK Bowl last night!

Fat, sweaty, tired mess of a man resorted to bringing on Ant, Dec and that Wilkes bloke to entertain us.

And that's not even mentioning "RUDEBOX!"......

Not a patch on when he played there 6 odd years ago.

Basement Jaxx where good supporting though.

[bugnote]

MJ at Don Valley, would hardly call that live. the only live singing he did was the ooh and ahh and 'I love you' in between songs. (in my opinion anyway)

Best gig attended was GNR at Wembley c2000? and Extreme in Bradford sometime in the late 90's, feel free to piss take on that one.

Not sure if this counts, but I watched a live feed of Woodstock 2, I guess it would have been 92/93? and of the sets I remember watching Chilli Peppers were awesome, they did 'Give it Away' but got the entire crowd to take off their shirts and spin them around their heads in time to the music, very cool spectacle.
