Ira Gaines Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 The bands you've seen who have amazed you. McFly never cease to amaze me. I've seen them in one form or another five times now. Better every time. The Flaming Lips. Three times. Astonishing every time. Manic Street Preachers. Outside of festivals, they've been amazing every time.

ecto Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Saw Springsteen last year at Hampden, never had a religious experience in my life, but when I do I expect it to be, how I felt that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Manics are good but the other two are shite. Anyway, best bands/artists I've seen live, The Smiths The Buzzcocks Marvin Gaye David Bowie Roxy Music The Clash Nina Simone Kraftwerk Feeder Ocean Colour Scene White Lies Johnny Marr Love And Money Rezillos Bjork Suzanne Vega Idlewild Morrissey To name but a few.

statts1976uk Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Best band I've seen is James, 16th time in November at the Hydro every show different but fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 I was a bit bored by The Charlatans when they played T in the Park in 2003. Feeder and Ocean Colour Scene are both good shouts. OCS had a crowd last year that didn't give a toss and OCS powered through and gave an energetic performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

young buck Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Fair do's dom I agree latter day charlatans are not everyone's cup of tea but in their pomp with rob Collins in a different zone of the planet from anyone else was special to behold. Up to our hips era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Kasabian. Best live UK band about the now. They'd need to be very impressive to surpass the Manics, who have been the best British band I've seen live. Sigur Ros are probably just edging the Manics for my #1 spot, it was an experience even in the horrendous SECC. Laura Marling puts on a lovely relaxed live performance. I reckon she'd be great in a small tent at a festival. At the other end of the scale, looking back at the Arctic Monkeys and Paul Weller both were very poor in comparison to my top two. Still great to go and see them but they don't even compare to Sigur Ros and the Manics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Sigur Ros was incredible. I may have been lucky in that the time and place - Golden Gate Park at twilight - was perfect, but it was a genuinely magical gig. The National are also superb live, even if the singer's voice is pretty thin. A country band called The Wild Feathers were probably the best technical band I've seen live, with five musicians taking turns at lead, and they really know how to pace a festival set, so those guys would be way, way up there. And so too Neil Young. Other than bands I like, Beck puts on a great set, as do the Foo Fighters. Paul Weller is far louder than you might imagine. On the other side, Youth Lagoon and the Smith Westerns are terrible live, and The Verve and Manic Street Preachers were pretty dull when I saw them. Modest Mouse can be either dull or enthralling, depending on Isaac Brock's mood. And, perhaps, whether Johnny Marr is there or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He decided at the end of the gig, for no reason whatsoever, to smash up his amp with his guitar. Once the lights came up, he came back on with a brush pan and apologised to the staff who were having to clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
