best live gig ever, ever!
Feb 10, 2003, 22:16
share your thoughts please.

TOTAL EXPERIENCE CATEGORY
mine i believe was glastonbury 86 (first time for me), which is a festival not a gig, i was young, took acid for the first time (because Hendrix had), went on a death trip and spent the whole weekend fucked up (i was 16), roming around at dawn with someone trying to sell me their blood. it felt like the ideal society at the time.

MOST CATHARTIC MOMENT
Velvet Underground reunion at Wembley Arena, we were in the bar and we heard the audience cheer and as we walked in there were the Velvets performing "we're gonna have a real good time together".

THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT CATEGORY
Original Damned tour (bristol) 198whenever supported by 999, just felt so good.

LIVING LEGEND CATEGORY
Chuck Berry (w'ton 92?) he was so out of tune with the backing band, but his force of personality made it seem the band were off key. He came across as this is work not fun.

LET'S RELAX CATEGORY
Cope when he did the 3hrs with cope tour, just came on at 7.30 and told us all to calm down as it was gonna be long set. no pressure, no worry about missing anything, we just chilled out at the back and drifted in and out.

WHA?
Add N to (X) supporting Supergrass, blew me away, confrontational, you either loved it or went to the bar. first time i saw someone playing a theremin. didn't know they were on the bill, i was just so impressed at the sonic sound attack, this was how electronic music should sound, my girlfriend thought i was having a fit i was that animated.

KILL ME NOW THE MOMENT IS PERFECT
The first time i saw the Ramones. that whole thing about "reducing music to the head of pin without any loss of definition".
