| Whenever I've been asked in the past which would be my favourite gig of all time, I have not been able to answer.
Having seen bands such as 'DC, Scorp's / Priest / Rush (4 times), even Van Halen with DLR, I just couldn't pick a favourite.
That changed last night - Friday 20th November 2010 - at the O2 Academy in Leeds - after witnessing the GOD that is LEMMY his current Motorhead line-up! Just Brilliant!
Why on earth have I not seen these before? I will certainly not miss them when they next do the rounds.
So the question is - what is your favourite gig of all time?

You've been to the O2 Academy.....Good man,it'll be the Cribs next!!
Best gigs.
Oasis at Wembley.
The Clash at The Rainbow Finsbury park.
The Jam at Sheffield uni ,then midnight train to London for our final v Widnes.
The Cribs at O2 academy Leeds.
The list could go on,the beauty of music unlike watching Wakey is that it's very rare that you come away dissapointed!

| Think it's called an "eclectic" lineup.
Loved the Damned,old school punk,strangely enough i've been listening to machine gun etiquette by the Damned on vinyl the last couple of days.
Think we could do this with a thread of it's own!

No - unfortunately. Nearest I got to a 'home' gig was the festival at Nostell with Marillion and Grand Slam - Phil Lynotts band after Thin Lizzy!
Saw the Stones in Roundhay Park.
I was lucky )?) to be based in Hammersmith for a year -1983/4 - and saw loads of bands like ZZ Top / Def Leppard / Quo there. Also been to Edinburgh Apollo / The Marquee club and Rock City on Nottingham.
As Jinj says - rarely disappointed and occassionally amazed!

| Can't we have some good o/t topic threads on their own in the off season? there isnt that much to talk about really and o/t threads can be more interesting than some on topic ones...

Saw Jethro Tull there the first year the festival was held (you'll have been too young for that gig ).
My favourite gig of all time is probably Misty in Roots in Bradford (1980, give or take a year, Queens Hall or St George's Hall, no idea now, or even then... was high as a kite).
1979 Skidz gig in Sheffield runs Misty a close second. Anyone remember when they played the Unity Hall in Wakey? As did Ultravox (went to that one too) and The Human League (ended up interviewing the band for a fanzine before the gig - Phil Oakey drinks Carling Black Label, btw, or he did at the time).

That's a fair point. The "Chat Thread" was always a bit of a compromise, to be honest, and it can't please everyone. Who's to decide which O/T topic is good or not? The mods, obviously - but that'll only get people's backs up if their O/T thread is chucked in here as opposed to being granted "good" status.
There has been enough RL stuff to talk about this off season so far, but if the real news dries up, I'm sure we can find some workable compromise.
Anyway - which was your favourite gig of all time?
