Spirit – at the Rainbow. The gig immortalised on their Live at the Rainbow LP. Absolute magic. Met the band back at the hotel afterwards (on the LP you can hear them asking everyone back to the hotel at the end of the gig...)

The Clash at Victoria Park. Still vivid in my memory after all these years.

Orb/Gong/Acid Mothers and the Fezzy Hall. Partly due to much HH company, and generally just a really vibey night.

Blue Oyster Cult/Motorhead at the Hammersmith Odeon. Now we really are going back a few years...

Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band – Victoria Apollo (?? Can’t remember the name of the place then, was it the Venue or summat?) Completely mindblowing. The Magic Band were great on their own last year at Shepherds Bush, but this was something else.

Every single Cope gig I’ve been to! Enough said.

Lots of John Martyn gigs, Roy Harper gigs, oh blimey, this is too difficult!

I’m bound to think of dozens more as soon as I post this up!

I saw/ heard Hymnen at the Barbicam, London in 2001 and it was awesome. And I could see Stockhausen at the mixing desk from where I was sitting. Now I can die happily (but not for a while yet I hope).

Faust at the Garage, London in December 1996. Strangest gig ever. Action painting, welding, cement mixers, fireworks, full frontal nudity and a threshing machine filled with lawn clippings. I had a massive whitey and had to sit outside at the bus stop for about half an hour. And discovered that my friend who I went with was there too, suffering the same thing. Got branded a lightweight for ever more...

Forgot Ozomatli. Great fun, great music, great audience participation. Apparently there was a bit of riot at their South By South West gig recently. Not sure how that happened - probably over eager police I guess.

Don & Squid,

I was 'present' at this event also.

Stupidly, I had been in a (rough) pub called 'The Angel' in Ilford all day whilst visiting my brother.
By the time I hooked up with my mates, I was 3 sheets to the wind thanks to my brother! (my brother the wind?!!).
I have a vague memory of beings in colourful costumes and straining my poor peepers....
