Craig Posted 20 December 2007 Posted 20 December 2007 Well... Both have to be from venues in Leicester, the same venue infact. Leicester University. Arctic Monkeys and Kasaian secret gigs, simply amazing. The Kasabian gig was recorded, and can be found here. Arctic Monkeys wasn't recorded, but you can download their Glastonbury set here. Enjoy the sets, both are flawless and well worth a listen. Merry Christmas Foxestalk.

act smiley Posted 24 December 2007 Posted 24 December 2007 The fact that for me, its between Sonic Boom Six (Cardiff Barfly) and the Manic Stret Preachers (CIA) because that was all I saw does a disservice to how good they both were.

Other than that ive had a reet slow year this un only seen a few bands and a not so select few either Scouting For Girls Wombats Winterkids The Hoosiers Blood Red Shoes Look See Proof The Holloways iForward Russia!

Lillehamring Posted 7 January 2008 Posted 7 January 2008 rather than listing all the gigs i went to, rather diminishes the concept of 'highlights', i'd have to single out.... animal collective @ john dee's, oslo, - simply amazing mix of live and electronic noise and filled the room with sound. and norwegian wood festival, and 1st night premier of briam wilson's 'lucky old sun' @ royal festival hall, london
