Best concert you’ve been to

Feeling nostalgic and thinking back to my favourite concerts I’ve been to in my time.

Mine would be Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, P!nk, Rihanna, Evanescence, Eminem, Christina Aguilera.

I envy those 10+ years older than me that got to experience some incredible performers such as Michael Jackson, live in concert.

Yes! She’s awesome! A friend of a friend’s sang to her on stage in London years ago! It’s on youtube I think. P!nk is so humble yet so talented, that’s why I love her so much.

I think I know who you’re talking about actually, this was about 10 years ago right? Hyde Park London? Do you know her? Gonna search it on YouTube now. This is why I love Pink because she treats her fans as her equal. It’s lovely to see 😍

Would so have loved to have seen Prince and to see George Michael

@OverByYer ditto! I love George Michael! And Prince, of course. Absolute legend. It’s so sad that we will never get to experience the greats ever again. New school music is just abominable.

Michael Jackson twice, Cardiff and London, what a show! Queen at Knebworth, outstanding!

Take That Circus Tour

Robbie @ Knebworth

Not a full gig but the Foos and Coldplay at T in the Park.

Too many to remember them all, but The Levellers were always amazing and the atmosphere second to none. I saw them many times in the early 90s.

Lenny Kravitz at the Glasgow Barrowlands 1994 and many other times, although his shows are very samey nowadays.

U2 Popmart tour at Wembley 1997

Reading Festival 1991 was awesome - saw so many great bands inc. Nirvana, but I was off my face for much of it.

Pop will Eat Itself always put on a good show

StrawberryLipstickStateOfMind1 · 17/05/2022 18:09

I've never seen Pink, though I've heard she's great,but Walk the Moon supported her a few years ago and I'm desperate to see them.

zafferana · 17/05/2022 18:11

Correction - Lenny Kravitz was at the Glasgow SEC, 1993

While we’re on Slipknot, I saw them at London arena 2002. That was rocking, Corey got the whole crowd to crouch down for about 5 minutes (during spit it out I think) before commanding everyone to jump up at once and go mental! Happy days 🤘

What I would have done to be there! 😪

Rod Stewart
Cher

Foo fighters without a doubt
Followed my muse

waltzingparrot · 17/05/2022 18:19

Best: The Cure in the 80s and Elton John at Wembley, when he did a long set to compensate for BIlly Joel being too ill to perform in the Piano Men tour.

Every Kid Creole & The Coconuts concert I've been to, and I've been to a lot because they're my guilty secret.

...and that Barry Manilow one I went to.

All incredible showmen.

Omg you found it! This is awesome! Yes she does have an amazing voice, it sounds like Pink says something like you’re awesome I’m not singing now! 😍 She’s so adorable, love her and can’t wait until she tours again. Thanks for finding this! Hope it doesn’t get removed by MNHQ! 😩🤞

I would just die to see Foo Fighters. And I would officially lose my shit once they played The Pretender 😩🙏🤘

You saw Evanescence in concert? I’m so jealous! Amazing :)

This!

Dizza25 · 17/05/2022 18:32

Oh, and take that were amazing! Especially with my daughter at the O2, such great fun.

That is my dream gig. Walk The Moon are up there in my favourites list. They supported Fun and we're at LEAST as good. Brought their album mid set. They're brilliant. And Pink I've seen a few times and at one festival, also fantastic

msssm · 17/05/2022 16:21

Wow @Cheeseandlobster that sounds amazing! As a now Metallica fan I would love that!
Wasn't a fan back then although I was of The Almighty and saw them several times. Still have them on regular rotation too.

It really was amazing. I would love to see them again

Oh I absolutely LOVE the longer version, it’s deep, it’s touching, it hits all the right spots. But the acoustic version is undoubtedly my favourite. Apologies sounding like a broken record but I’m literally reliving my childhood right now! I’m on an Evanescence binge-fest! Thank you @jj98x ! 🤘💐
