Bowie, Glastonbury 2000.
The best gig anyone will ever see.
REM, Manchester Gallery, April 84
First UK tour, when they still had a right load of fun on stage before the megamoney and po-facedness ate away at their live persona.
Pixies, Liverpool Royal Court, Doolittle tour (88?)
Awesome power and blistering furious noise, and all the more brilliant for following the Wolfgang Press who were fucking appalling, one of the worst gigs I've ever seen.
Honourable runners-up:
Radiohead, supporting REM @ Milton Keynes, 1995
Electric Sex Circus, Champers, Southport 1989.
