Top 10 Gigs Reviews

Top 10 now this is going be tough because I've been to over 30 in the last 8 years. Also not sure how I can put it in a fair order as I have seen new and old bands alike so here I go (information provided depends on my memory): ~ Nightwish - with support from Paradise Lost ~ Hammersmith Apollo - London - 25/09/05 ~ Set ...

So do a review about "TOP 10 GIGS" Please bare in mind this will change about 200 times in my lifetime, i will do my best to update this. This is hard to do from 10-1 1-10 so I may just throw in a random number which sounds right, but may get altered later. 10. Doves - Manchester Apollo ...

Perhaps I'm jumping the gun here a bit. I mean I have yet to see all of my favourite bands live, I have many to see this year and many still to come afterwards. Yet to think like that will mean that I'll never get anything done. In the last 2 years I've seen a tonne of bands, some I regret and some I truly enjoyed. To me they are my main chance to ...

I have been to some amazing concerts and I feel that I must relate my experiences with you the good people in cyberspace. I love live music whether it is some busker playing a truly tortuous version of 'Wonderwall' in the city centre or the venting fury of a heavy metal concert. I play guitar, bass and the electric organ for fun in a ...

10: Babes In Toyland + Some local band Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms 2001 Atmosphere 14 performance ? entertainment 25 circumstances 22 Total 61% OK, this first one only just made it in and is included purely on the basis of craziness and novelty value. I had arrived in Portsmouth early to meet my then girlfriend and venture to the ...

1. Millencolin Manchester Academy Millencolin just happen to be my favourite band, so it will be no surprise to anybody that this is at number 1 in my top ten concerts. By far the greatest band to come out of Sweden, they tower over the particularly average The Hives, and from what I’ve heard are much better live too. The concert ...

1. Green Day @ Leeds Festival By far one of my favourite summers so far, next to the summer I discovered hairs in places I didn’t know hairs grew. After missing out on Green Day when they came to Manchester the previous year going to Leeds especially to see them was a necessity. Green Day co-headlined the Saturday evening with ...

Everyone’s gone to a good gig. Which they have loved. For some reason or another you must have a favourite. Well here are my top ten gigs: 10)Occupational hazard: This is the first band I ever saw live. My mate is the drummer for them so I thought I would go along and give them some support. I really didn’t do much at this ...

Hello again, I seem to be drawn to these top ten thingys. I have done films, romantic comedies, books and singles. Go and read them too because there will be a quiz. Those who show geniune skill in remembering my inane waffling shall be given a little certificate of Pepperanness and be told to get out more! NO seriously. I was going to do this in ...

These are my top ten gigs, oldest first before I forget them! 1. KingOfTheHill (supporting Extreme) at Sheffield City Hall 18th October 1991 The first proper gig I ever went to, I was lucky and got tickets at the front and although I'd never heard of KingOfTheHill beforehand they just blew Extreme of the stage. ...

The year 2000, in my life marked the greatest line-up of gigs to hit these shores in a long time. In the space of a year I watched in awe a selection of my favourite bands ever, perform across the British Isles. As ever I have trouble deciding on bands, gigs and albums in order of preference because I love them all. So the old ...

Ok, i love punk and metal music. I have loved it for a long while now, and there is nothing, and i mean NOTHING like a live gig to make you tired and worn out. of course living in Norfolk i have to travle to London, or at least Norwich, to see bands but it is always worth the travelling time, and money to see any of my favourite bands. I ...

1. Eddie and the Cruisers live at Cobol Hall Detroit 1989. the band still had all the original members and was in top form. people that have seen the pirated copies of this tape say that Sal Amato and Eddie Wilson had never sung so well together. I could tell that there was a lot of tension in the band and it was obvious that they would not be ...

Gigs. I love them. Since my first experience back in December '97, I've been hooked. In my opinion, nothing can beat the atmosphere, the music of your favourite band being played live and the excitement of seeing your idols in the flesh... These are the ten gigs which I have enjoyed the most. 10 Prodigy (supported by Foo ...

A bit of a mix here. You will see that my musical taste got much better as I got older :) 10. Elton John- Vertans Stadium, Philadelphia, USA, 1993 - I have to admit to being disapointed by this gig. I really like the older stuff Elton did but the show was at the time he was entering the Lion King stage and it was just all wishy ...

Ooooooooooo, where to start!? I thought this was going to be easy, I`ve been to literally hundreds of gigs. I played in a band for over 10 years and usually saw the support and/or headline ones. That`s a vast amount but, when I stopped and thought about it, two things dawned on me: 1) I haven`t seen that many `big` bands. More a ...

I have been to many, many gigs in my time ranging from Queen to Alvin Stardust and Bowie to Glen Campbell, so it was quite a struggle to decide on my ten favourites, but here they are. I have chosen them for all sorts of reasons and there were a few more that ‘almost’ made the top ten. I hope you enjoy reading about them – ...

I've been to a lot of concerts and festivals in my time. Some have been good and some have been bad. For a gig to be included in my top ten, I'm going to consider factors other than the band and the playlist for the particular concert, what this means may become more apparent as you read on – if you read on! As with my other Top ...

Living in Northern Ireland, I don't get to go to nearly as many concerts as I'd like to. Bands seem to forget about us, and there are so many bands I'd like to see that simply I will probably never see because of this. Being a poor student, I can't afford to travel to the likes of Dublin or across the water to see my favourite ...

Ok, this is going to be really hard to do, but I think I can pull it off....there are some very hard decisions to make, its like choosing which one of your kids you're going to kill.....or maybe not THAT harsh, but you get the picture...... ok, I'll start at number one.... 1) Pearl Jam (June 4th 2000. Manchester) This gig was a ...
