You Win I'm drooling over some of those! Would love to see Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. Also Radiohead and Mercury Rev! There's lots missing. Just remembered I went to see Paloma Faith last month Not seen Satriani or Vai in a few years, but I went to every tour for about ten years from the age of 16....seeing Satch at The Albert Hall was quality....which reminds me I missed off Alanis Morrisette and Eric Clapton who were on in Hyde park the same weekend(with Bob Dylan). Radiohead still probably top the list as the best live show I've been to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonraider 0 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 What live bands or stand up comedians have you seen? have you ever seen a live sex show TR? Yes I have actually, in Amsterdam. Its gotta be done! Was that the name of the show? For some reason the name of the show escapes me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a bit sadder to miss a band I really want to see like. I'll always regret that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 What were Battles like live, HF? Really good. Played Northumbria uni, the second stage, which is a tiny room. Absolutley heaving. Reminded me of Radiohead, all the nob tweaking and building to a crescendo. Drummer is incredible. Takes centre stage with his cymbal 6ft in the air. Puts on a hell of a show.

ewerk 26853 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 The best live act I can remember seeing was Backyard Babies, a Swedish punk band that I randomly encountered in a festival tent a few years back. Shite otherwise but they put on a good show without any of the lights, stage props etc. that you get with larger bands' tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12903 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Can't believe I forgot Radiohead! They were immense; Paranoid Android and Jigsaw Falling into Place were two of the best live performances I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a bit sadder to miss a band I really want to see like. I'll always regret that. Was that a couple of years ago with Om as support? Saw them at Koko, you missed out I've been to a few gigs on my own if the band in question doesn't come around very often, have met some canny people as a result, too. Normally only in smaller venues, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall 2, anyone been to a gig there?
