Still gives me a tingle when it starts up. Rather oddly, I've seen Page and Plant live together a couple of times and they never played it, It was Plant and his own band at Bristol. Remarkably, it was a free two day festival, they've since moved it to the Downs in Bristol city and charge £60 now (Weller and Noel Gallagher are playing this year among others). There were some biggish names played while it was free to enter, Plant, Squeeze, The Stranglers, Simple Minds. Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel. Not a big fan of the last three but you really couldn't not go when it was free entry.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 21 July 2018 Posted 21 July 2018 Incubus - A Certain Shade of Green (Nottingham Ice Arena circa 2000). They had played a few of their slower/mellower songs before a pause then kicked into A Certain Shade of Green, and the place just fvcking erupted. I had goosebumps on my nose, my balls, EVERYwhere.

As much as I'd love to see them again, I've heard from various sources that they rarely play anything from SCIENCE/Make Yourself live anymore, pretty much ignoring their funk metal roots in favour of their terrible recent moody pop. The last 3 albums have been garbage, I think Crow Left of the Murder was where they stopped trying/started growing up/were convinced by their record label to do more radio-friendly stuff. This is also when Dirk Lance left, so I guess he had a lot of input regarding their overall sound and songwriting. Even the lyrics are bad these days - real shame as they were a fantastic band in the late 90's/early 2000's, almost revolutionary

RonnieTodger Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 Got to admit, it was pretty special when Liam Gallagher came out and did Rock N Roll Star to start his set. Was so loud, I didn't realise how shit his voice is now.
Max Wall Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 The last time I saw Oasis in 2003 his voice seemed shot and that was 15 years ago. He always seemed like he was straining slightly to me, even in his pomp. Not a natural singer like some who seem to be effortless and he had to make up for that with swagger, which he did (and still does) quite well. Haven't seen him live since Oasis split up but he has had quite a bit of wear and tear in his existence. How did you rate it on the whole?

I can get that. I actually thought his voice stood up really well at Glastonbury last year though I was only watching the live broadcast and wasn't there which isn't always the best way to judge. I just guess that type of voice can be a little hit or miss live. I've never not enjoyed an Oasis concert even when I thought they were well past their best. I've seen lots of bands live so I never really go expecting anything these days, if you do so, you can often feel let down. I can't imagine I'd be disappointed if I went to see him, he always puts on a show and Liam is just Liam really,

Crowd went absolutely crazy Tbf, DKM could open with The Torch or Forever and the crowd would still go mental, its just the support they draw. They still ending on Skinhead on the MBTA?

I was just behind a woman at the very front and she was about 4ft tall so amazing view. All the VIPs and Uni hierarchy were allowed in first and got to the front, I ran like a pratt when the doors opened and a combination of elbows and the heat getting to the posh types and i was able to get forward. Silly hot Amazing gig
Steven Posted 2 August 2018 Posted 2 August 2018 Ace of Spades - Motorhead (Reading Festival) Firestarter - The Prodigy - Brighton (Top Rank) I am a real house music fan but Motorhead got the crowd going and were excellent. The Prodigy (fanstastic, group/band, ensemble) are the loudest heaviest act I have ever seen live. Brilliant.
RonnieTodger Posted 2 August 2018 Posted 2 August 2018 Saw Libertines in Ibiza weirdly and when they did Time For Heroes, it was nuts.

Captain...

Captain... Posted 13 August 2018 Posted 13 August 2018 Forgot probably the best ever. Scummy Man (as it was known then) - Arctic Monkeys Carling Tent Leeds 2005. The tent was rammed to the point of everyone outside had just lifted up all the flaps so that more people could see and hear. Cue the opening chords to Scummy Man (now called When the Sun Goes Down) Alex Turner just standing there being serenaded by thousands of people singing the entire first verse word perfect. Which was quite impressive as the song hadn’t been released yet in any format and wouldn’t be until the following year.

smallpauldj Posted 14 August 2018 Posted 14 August 2018 Seen lots live, but the song that made my hairs stand up the most was actually at the theatre. He lives in you from the Lion King. Its been locked in my head ever since.
Dr Marco Posted 14 August 2018 Posted 14 August 2018 my favorite moment was with Blur in 2009 in Hyde Park during the final song "the universal" when all the crowd was singing "it really really really could happen" I had shivers down the spine it was so emotional

I was there for this and can distinctly remember someone walking past me when this came on, turning to their friend to mouth the words ”what the ****” to how mental I was going and walking off. Shame they are a terrible pop band now.
