best live band?
- Thread starter trevhagl
- Start date
We'll have to agree to disagree
I honestly sincerely without a hint of pisstaking think they're one of the 3 or 4 worst bands I've ever seen in my life (and I've seen them more than 5 times
)

NoFx
Gogol Bordello
The Damned
Queen
The Specials
Btw - none of them I'd class as my 'favourite' bands but they all do/did stunningly good shows

RFTC did one of the best gigs I've ever been to at The Garage. An hour of full-on rock n roll soul review genius, laydeezungennelmen. And I nearly electrocuted them all at one point. You don't get enough of that sort of thing these days.
Queens Of The Stone Age in their prime (with Nick Olivieri and Dave Grohl) took some beating, too. Fucking mindblowingly good the way they could all take a song off in some mental direction and then almost telepathically bring it back together. Neil Young And Crazy Horse tend to leave people walking away with their gobs open. Well they have done with me, at any rate.
Still reckon Nirvana are the best band I've ever seen live, though. The Astoria. 5th November 1991. Kurt Cobain landed on my head. I've still got the ticket. I walked around with a stupid E-like grin on my face for days afterwards.

Oh, that's harsh
Did she tell her?
nah. and anyway - she wouldn't have been able to go anyway, it's for over 16s only.
Surprised you can still manage at your age.
see, i was going to make a comment that it's also surprising you remember so many gigs what with you being so frightfully old, but i thought it would be a bit rude.
i should have thunk again.

Epistemic nuisance
(actually, I worked out I'd seen about 6 bands a week for a 10 year period, and several a month for several years either side of that, so I'm amazed I remember anything
How'd you manage to afford that?
I was a music journalist for most of a decade, then in PR. I got paid to go.
