Concerts to See Before You Die?

I was so gutted I missed The Wall tour!!

I had been at the bar with my brother and, at the bus stop, a couple asked me for directions to the coach station. I noticed they were wearing shirts of The Wall and it had been on in town that night!! £50 for cheapest tickets wasn’t possible at the time anyway but it would have been cool.

I agree with @Manimal on THE PRODIGY. They were awesome and I’d see them again for sure.

Leonard Cohen was really a superb concert. He is playing again in London June but the tickets are again so expensive. I was right at the front for the show I saw though. Row 7, seat in the dead centre. AMAZING!

Rage Against The Machine are intense live. I was at the free gig in Finsbury Park and it was brilliant. They are highly recommended!

KISS for the stage show. LOL! But seriously…it is good. Smoke a doobie first.

PEARL JAM

THE LIBERTINES (actually, they weren’t that good in reality but at the time…incredible).

I was suprised at how good Pendulum were when I saw them but then saw them again elsewhere and they weren’t very good at all. Different crowd maybe? It was a metal fesitval the first songs so maybe the setlist reflected that? Voodoo People remix came up! :D

I think that’s it from me.

I would have liked to have seen R.E.M, too.

If I could I would have loved to have seen Bob Marley in Dortmund or at the London Lyceum. For the former, for Redemption Song. For the latter, for Trenchtown Rock. Really though, any Bob gig would be fine by me. But those two are my favourites.

@staylucky, Aphex twin is a shaftmaster, he just blows your head off with eardrum blasting crazy jungle beats and plays fuck all of his tunes. Iv’e seen him thrice and he has mostly shafted me with crazy 7000 bpm screeching noises especially towards the end of his sets it just gets ridiculous >:( having said that he did play Synthaconn 9 from The Tuss the last time I saw him, which was the only recognizable tune amidst a facemashing evil evil set >:( He probably is worth seeing though, as according to youtube he sometimes likes to indulge his audiences in value for money, by, you know, playing his actual music.
I should, at this point add that Aphex Twin (Richard D. James) is THE most talented composer of electronic music the world has ever known. If you want a good AFX set though, go see a Luke Vibert gig. He plays Richard’s tracks alot, he is also a good man… and thorough

Below are some glorious tunes. Behold!

heh heh heh >:)

@myexistence, He played recently and my mates were blown away by him. Apparently he played a similar set to what you are describing (they felt as though they were in a late 80′s/early 90′s jungle rave) but that’s OK with me.

I love his Ambient Works stuff but I’d just be down to let the man play whatever he feels. That’s why I enjoyed James Lavelle so much. He just went in there and dropped records for a good 3 hours (everywhere from hip to hop to electronic to Chris Isaak). I like DJ sets that give me a look into the mixers mind, and that’s why my favourite has always been Zabiela :)

@tlrlittle, gonna be at both weekends of ultra if all goes as planned. holla.
