Bastard! I was so close to seeing them in London last year. By close I mean the tickets were bought and we were waiting in line for the doors to open for the gig. An hour after the gig was suppose to start the venvue staff came out and told us the gig was cancelled. The reason turned out to be that the venue told the band they couldn't do their pyros so the band refused to go on stage. You would have thought SOMEONE would have checked that before a few thousand fans were standing outside in the cold. Never got my refund either :(

Sarah_Jayne 02-09-2003 04:44 AM

REM - 1995 Madison Square Garden.

Placebo - 2002 - one of the 3 soon to be 4 times I've seen them

Wheatus - 2001 - I don't care what people think, I went because there was nothing better to do and it turned out to be an excellent gig.

Ash - 2002 Reading Music Festivle - WOW, the won me over.

The Hives - 2002 Reading again - not my type of band but they really know how to take the audience by the balls.

Alessandro 02-09-2003 05:37 AM

Joe Satriani in 1993

Dream Theater in 2000

The Smashing Pumpkins first gig in Portugal, Cascais Bullfight Arena. Billy said it was one of the 2 best shows ever. The other one was in Chicago.

I went to lots of other gigs, but nothing comes close.

SilverTab 02-09-2003 12:38 PM

Nofx, Hi Standard, Lagwagon in 98

Anna_O 02-09-2003 12:51 PM

Metallica, i think it was 97, at a small club called "Münchenbryggeriet" here in Stockholm. Very nice...

Paradise Lost 96 at Circus, also in Stockholm. I got a Headbangers Ball T-shirt from Vanessa Varwick :)

nike 02-09-2003 12:59 PM

Stone Roses last gig...

SubAms 02-09-2003 01:10 PM

Queen's last gig at Knebworth Park in 1986.
200,000 people in a field!

They came on to 'One Vision' blasting out of the sound system at about twice the volume of anything previously. The crowd was really getting into it, bouncing up and down, clapping, screaming, and on the final keyboard chord before the guitar, Freddie appeared and the crowd went completely ballistic (If you hear the 'Live Magic' album, turn it up as loud as you possibly can stand. Shut your eyes and imagine a fifth of a million people in a relatively small field all around you! All pushing into you. All going mental.

Still sends shivers down my spine thinking about it :thumbsup

AOLGuy 02-09-2003 02:02 PM

back when I was a concert promoter, in my younger more naive days... my favorite 5 concerts I put on:

1. The Rentals
(first show I put on, their 3rd show ever - Maya Rudolph from their touring band is now on SNL. Spent the day hanging with her and Cherie, Matt Sharp was nowhere to be found)

2. Blink 182 / Less Than Jake / Buck 'O Nine
(actually made some $$ and had a good time)

3. Sublime
(their last show ever before Brad Nowell OD'd. major stress night, but it came close to selling out)

4. Ash
(nicest guys - too bad the show did like, 60 people and we lost $300).

5. They Might Be Giants
(one of my favorite groups of all time - lost $8000 on the show because of weak ticket sales. I never even got the meet either John).

Rip 02-09-2003 02:15 PM

You were there this year? What a great day, the line up was incredbile and the rain stayed away until the last couple sets and then Muse on stage with an electrical storm was perfect.

Ash were just really really good that day tho. Burn Baby Burn.

Yeah, they aren't really well known in the States, eh? I noticed their recent videos are shot in the States so I guess they are making a play. You certainly woudn't have had trouble selling tickets in the UK.

OneHungLo 02-09-2003 03:36 PM

LOLLAPALOOZA '92-

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Ministry
Ice Cube
Soundgarden
The Jesus And Mary Chain
Pearl Jam
Lush
Temple Of The Dog
Jim Rose Circus and Sideshow

That show rocked.

jayeff 02-09-2003 03:46 PM

Hendrix @ Isle of Wight
The Who @ Charlton
Pink Floyd "Animals" @ Wembley
Eric Clapton "Prince's Trust" @ Royal Albert Hall
Rolling Stones free concert in Hyde Park

Eddie Izzard @ Hammersmith (Does a comedian count? If not, Bob Marley and Queen were good there too)

A guy called Jake Thackeray played his very idiosyncratic songs for almost 3 hours at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon once. Every time he tried to leave the audience cheered him back. I don't think anyone noticed after the first few minutes there were fewer than 50 sitting in the big auditorium: Jake got everyone front and center and the concert was like in someone's home.

stocktrader23 02-09-2003 03:46 PM

Union Underground and From Zero. This wouldn't be favorite if it was just a normal show but this was at a local venue that holds only 300 people. Talk about a fucking house party! One of my friends is in with some big promotors and landed the show while they were passing through. Only 300 people and the place was literally rocking from the crowd jamming. You could get as close as you wanted and there was no backstage so everyone was right in the middle of the show.
