A bit late in the day, but these are my favourite gigs.
Stone Roses – Spike Island 1990 – Just an amazing occasion, just wished Ian Brown could sing.
Radiohead – Glastonbury 1997 – First ever festival camping, and an amazing performance.
The Specials – Bridlington 2009 – Band that got me into music, great to see them reformed. Even better watching bald, middle aged men trying to dance.
Arctic Monkeys – Escobar 2005 - probable one of 10,000 people who claim they were there
U2 – Elland Road 1997 – First ever gig

| Great gigs:
Most of those at the Unity Hall late '70's/early '80's (Damned, UK Subs, Skids etc.)
Christmas on Earth @ Leeds Queen's Hall December 1981 (Damned again)
Many of the 50-60 times I've seen Buzzcocks. 
Sex Pistols Finsbury Park 1996. |

Sorry, typo – U2 gig at Elland Road was 1987, Joshua Tree tour.
I was toying between that and the 1997 U2 gig at Roundhay Park, Popmart tour. |

Saw Rory Gallagher at Leeds Town Hall not long after tickets were 50p.'"
Mott - awesome, also saw this gig at Leeds and year later at Sheffield. Had tickets to see them again in Leeds with Ronson 2 days after they split. Was gutted.
Rory Gallagher was quite simply the best guitarist ever bar none !! 
Uriah Heep at Bradford were cool too. |

What places are there in Wakey to see top bands now? Or do you have to go further afield to see them?

Line up
Maximo Park
Arctic Monkeys
We Are Scientists
Mystery Jets
Was pretty incred.
Go see The Cribs whenever i can
Also saw some good gigs in the 90's but struggle to remember much about them lol - Smashing Pumpkins at Duchess in Leeds was pretty good.'"
thats impressive to have caught em at that point. saw em at manchester appollo 2001ish? and they were decent enough. love some of their material, machina got a tad metally for my liking.
cribs are quality, although latest album doesn't match last one though it was never gonna to be fair |

Sorry to but in, and slightly o/t. Not the best gig, but about the only 1 I ever went to in Wakey, we got a mini-bus full from Hull to see The Wedding Present play Rooftop Gardens in 1991, just after Pete Solowka had left. The Weddoes had a thing for playing bizarre Yorkshire venues.

Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium on 20/4/1992. It's the 18th anniversary of Freddie's passing today as well.
RIP Freddie Mercury.
