The Glasronbury thread was fun, so let's bring it into every day life...let's talk about live music and what we've seen/have coming up.

I saw Pulp at Castlefield Bowl tonight. Proper bucket list band for me, they were brilliant!

Going to London for Bruce Springsteen and Blur on Saturday and Sunday this coming weekend...
 
I made a list about 10 years ago of all the shows I saw (or could remember). I used to really like going to concerts/shows in high school/college, but pretty much stopped going in my mid-20s. So this is basically a list between the ages of 13-26 or so.

I once saw someone hitting a cheese grater with a spanner and looping it, with the other person using the electo frequency from plants to create an electronic sound which turned into a type of acid song. In a shed, in a field in Cambridgeshire

Did anyone else from GOT attend this?
 

too many to remember! try to go to at least 1 gig a month.
over last year or so: leftfield, bruce springsteen, iron maiden, black flag, steve ignorant, guns n roses, 2 lads from gomez, christy moore, peter hook and dropkick murphys.
 
Plenty of reminiscing here
Going to both Springsteen concerts in Copenhagen next week , Courtney Marie Andrews in Birkenhead, Americanafest in Nashville in September, one day of Austin City Limits festival in October , John Smith in Aigburth in October. The Music Room at The Philharmonic has gone off the boil a bit but hopefully a few more there before the end of the year.

Thats all i can remember off the top of my head but bound to be more.
 
Most recently saw Toyah & Robert Fripp - they were great. Also saw Placebo last month.

This week off to see Kiss & Iron Maiden, and going to Bloodstock next month for my son's first festival experience.
 

Seen Beastie Boys, Radiohead, Yo Yo Ma, Oasis. At least those are the popular acts I’ve seen (I don’t go to shows much.) I’ve also seen Better than Ezra about 3 times but if you live in Louisiana any length of time you’ll see them at least once even if by accident.

That's some list there, mate. I'm currently trying to make a list of who I've seen - I did have a box of ticket stubs back from when physical tickets were the norm, but it seemed to go astray in a house move. Of course, that would only help up to a point, as since then I've seen countless gigs with e-tickets. I reckon if I can make a list of who I've seen at least once, that should just about do (I've seen some bands multiple times and have little hope of remembering all of them).
