For me The Who were different class created an unbelievable atmosphere,but smokie,the hollies,squeeze and a group I thought were excellent and never seem to get a mention was love affair,steve ellis great voice. The worst has to be the kinks,great songs but ray davies always seemed to be struggling with the higher notes.

Best I've seen were U2 (Achtung Baby Tour), Queen at Knebworth which was 1986 and the last ever Freddie Mercury live gig - Ironically I didn't want to go as I wasn't a big fan but accompanied my brother, Pink Floyd The Wall Earles Court- and another notable good one was the Stones 1995 gig at Sheffield.
Worst ones, Pink Floyd (Momentary Lapse Of Reason Tour). Neil Diamond, Elton John,who is now just a bad pub singer, both at the KC and probably topping, or bottoming rather, the lot was The Sex Pistols - truly awful despite the kudos they're given by many.

There is one name on here that I am surprised hasn't had a mention, bearing mind this is off the Hull KR thread.

The Beatuiful South. Seen these a couple of times, and have also seen 2 Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbot gigs. He has such a stage presence, and his rapport with the fans is amazing. Also pitch perfect every time they play.

Another under rated, but excellent live band, Deacon Blue, and still touring, later this year next tour.

Worst group T'Pau

Seen them a couple of times as well, they are Mrs Stans favs, all a bit MOR for my tastes, although they went down a storm at the (then) McAlpine when they supported the excellent REM in 1995.

Never really got the beautiful south. Saw them live in mainbrace and they were alright nothing more. Prefer my bands with a bit more to them.

They're shizzle.

Neither soul or anything else and Cook's hatred of Hull means they deserve nothing but contempt.

I saw Paul Weller on expenses in a converted church hall in Amsterdam 1998 total value for money, worst I've got to say was Black Sabbath at the Ally Pally 1974 - they were eaten alive by their warm up band Stackridge who were sensational

Well I came on this board to chuckle at some of the meltdowns & spats but saw this instead.

Entertainment wise, The Stones have to be up there for me.

Musical Quality, I saw Bjork at Sheffield Arena a good few years ago, with just three old guys playing some Hurdy Gurdy’s or something, but it was amazing.

Worst by far, I promised to take my daughter who was about ten at the time, to the M.E.N. to see Avril Lavigne, God Awful.

But the biggest regret has to be, never seeing Zeppelin.

The sad thing for me now is, I no longer attend any concerts. I’m getting too old to be physically assaulted in the pit & too angry to stand behind someone filming it on a phone, as for sitting down I'd rather die.

You won't really get meltdowns and spats on here Squire because most of us who post go to games and have had to endure how awul we are all year.

Score flattered us today.

The best I've seen
The Clash, London Finsbury Park, RAR, 78 ish
The Ramones, Leeds uni 78
Sex Pistols, SPOTS tour, Aug bank holiday Scarborough, 77
Stiff little fingers, Leeds poly, the scariest yet most intense exciting atmosphere I've ever seen at a gig.
And my last, Rolling Stones, Glastonbury, 2012? I hate the Stones with a passion but my mates love em so just went along. What a ing voice Jagger has for an old guy! It was pi$$ing it down, and for the first 45 mins I was thinking, "I'm right they're cr@p". They then went into a best of hour, the hairs were up on the back of my neck, incredible set by a band I despised, strange innit?

Saw them there in 2013, it was a brilliant gig. Just bagged tickets for later this month when they are coming back to Brid again. Possibly my favourite mid-sized venue.

I went to see the Music playing at Brid spa, May Day 2003, supported by a new up and coming band........Kings of Leon.

green day M.K bowl best, Lindesfarne in Newcasle worst, dont to this day know how I ended up there 1st year of uni explains it most likely.

Best was the first top act I saw. 15 years old just started work & a collegue was lead singer in a locall band, got asked to help with thier gear as it had to be lugged to the top of the Co Op in town (Skyline ballroom) Top act Jimi Hendrix, even met him after the show & got his autograph, Wish I could find it now. I dont recall but I would ave seen robert Plamer as well that night (with the mandrakes).
Worst Billy J Kramer at a do in Walkington he was awfull but saw him a a show thirty years later & he had learned a bit by then & was great.

That place brings back some memories though it was called Baileys and then Romeos by the time I was frequenting them almost every weekend.
They actually had some decent well known bands on in there during the seventies and early eighties.
I also remember seeing the glitter band, haha, perform at another well know disco in Hull at the time..... Tiffany's, later known as LA.
Best bands on my travels would have to be... The Sweet, Queen, and Slade, all during the seventies and eighties, the former almost deafening me with their loud music, Slade have to be one of the loudest bands I've personally ever listened to live.
I cant really think of a bad one, unless I include one or two lesser known bands that sometimes played in East park during the festivals they had a few years back.
One of my regrets in life is not seeing Bowie live, during the time he played with Hulls brilliant guitarist ...Mick Ronson (spiders from Mars) even though I was still a teenager at the time, Good days.
