Live music - what have you seen?

[Daz1878]

I saw The Killers (with death from above supporting) in a pub in Northampton on their first EP tour

It was quite funny as they all for a drink after and the majority of the killers are tee total but DFA were right pissheads lol

I saw arctic monkeys on their first ever tour too

I saw Stereolab reform for a song, which felt like a big moment at the time but they reformed a few years later hahaahha

I was meant to see Broadcast but then Trish sadly died, i was meant to see them again (in a form) a few years later, for a one off gig, but James broke down a few days before and it got cancelled

I remember seeing Death from Above 1979 - one of the loudest shows I've been to. They make a huge sound for a duo.

Yeah they're proper good aren't they. I can't believe how big Royal Blood are in comparison to them. It's like comparing Ed Sheeran to Pantera

i was a bit gutted when they announced Paul Weller as the support for Blur on Sunday. For the Saturday we’ve got Self Esteem and Jockstrap to look forward to, not a fan of either.

Jealous of Smashing Pumpkins 90 and 92. Would have liked to have seen them a little later around Siamese dream release though Gish is a decent album.

Favourite act for me was faith no more around 15 years ago. Mike Patton one of the most charismatic frontmen around. When Out of Nowhere came on everyone went mad.
