Last concert you went to/best you've been to/dream one to go to

[PoodlesRUs]

Concert however you wish to define it.

Last gig I went to was Barenaked Ladies, best was hmmm probably a BNL one or Caro Emerald, dream Glass Animals.

And you?

Last concert - Fontaines DC
Best - ohh toss up between Radiohead in 97’ or Bowie early 2000s.

Dream - I think I’ve ticked most off the list, would liked to have seen The Band back in the day

I love My Father My King too. So epic! I saw the documentary they did recently and it tells the story of how they wrote it.

I highly recommend watching it if you're a fan.

Robert Plant still goes on tour, I've seen him twice in the last 15 years or so.

He is well worth seeing, even though its not exactly led zeppelin.

@Pelicanbriefcase I'm going to see Fontaines DC in December, Really looking forward to it!

I saw him with Alison Krauss. That was pretty amazing. 👍

Where did you watch the documentary? I tried to get tickets but it was only showing in a very small number of cinemas and it doesn't appear to be available online anywhere.

Last concert - Blink-182 last week Glasgow Hydro
Best - can't choose between Aerosmith in Vegas! Green Day at Wembley Arena/Blink-182 O2 last year
Dream - Linkin Park with Chester 😢

Think I'll still try and get tickets to Linkin Park on their 2025 world tour but they have a female singer for it 😬

Last: Shania Twain at the O2 last September

Best: Shania Twain, Hyde Park, 2003

Dream: Abba

Huuge Shania fan, but I don't think I'll see her again. Sadly, I think it's time she stopped performing live.

Re Abba, I've seen Abba Voyage, that's the closest I'll ever get I suppose. I so wish I had seen them live!

How were Sum 41? Worth the ticket price?

Yeah it was very limited. I saw it in Sheffield. Stuart Braithwaite was supposed to be at the Q&A but his dog was poorly. I've always wanted to meet him but there's always someone that comes up to stop me. Maybe one day!

I briefly spoke to the director and he said it would have a wider release in the future but he couldn't say more. I think it's hush hush for now.

DH is the fan not me but they were actually great! It's their last tour so I guess that added to it. I don't think the tickets were a crazy price where we were (Dublin).

Last and by far the best one i have been too was this summer... PINK and she was amazing.

DH and I do lots of little gigs, this was the first areana concert ive been too and loved it

Last was the Taylor swift Eras tour on 19th August ... best concert I've ever been too , lovely safe happy crowd , brilliant show visuals just loved it all

Last - Prom 46 (the Planet Suite)
Best - Pulp at Glastonbury the year they stood in for the Stone Roses
Dream - going back in time to watch Fleetwood Mac. Or REM.

Last: Peter Doherty
Best(and it was the dream too) Barbra Streisand in Hyde Park.
Can we have runners up? Weezer. Unbelievably talented and entertaining.

Best: Madness.
Dream: Michael Jackson

Last: Tool.
Best: Nine Inch Nails.
Dream: A time machine to see the Pink Floyd Pulse tour

Last Kings of Leon best The Who

Last - Cian Ducrot (my son was in the band of one of the support acts
Best - Elton John
Dream - to see my son’s band play a major arena.

Last concert - Taylor Swift which was all kinds of amazing.
Best concert - If I’m not allowed Eras then Pulp which would have been around 2012 in Sheffield.
Dream concert - Elliott Smith.

Last - Tom Robinson Band
Best - too many to choose from
Dream - the original Eagles line up or original ELO .

Most recent concert was Mika at Kew the music in July, also saw him at Hammersmith apollo in April. Best concert ever, he's such a showman and I'm totally obsessed with him. Live aid was pretty amazing too 😁

Last live music: Christina Aguilera (headlining at a festival last month, she was amazing!)

Best: Kate Bush, Before the Dawn, 10 years ago (time flies!) - nothing will ever top this, it was phenomenal

Dream: Sinead…

Best concert George Michael…Faith tour in 1988 ,most recently Nial Rodgers in Brighton 2023 .Absolutely awesome an absolute legend.

Oh, probably a mate’s band.

Best: Sigur Ros in a tiny little church on release day of Með suð í eyrum við spilum.
I had been waiting years to see them, was at the very front and cried because it was so beautiful.

Honorable mention to Yndi Haldi who don’t tour often and were everything I dreamed they would be live.

The Cure are immensely powerful live, especially during a 12 minute rendition of A Forest.

Dream: I think I have seen all the bands I ever wanted to see and David Bowie is dead so the only dream left is to go to the Mount Fuji Rock Festival and get my ears blown off by the likes of Envy in a breathtaking setting.

Bjork had the biggest talker/idiot ratio of all the gigs I have ever been to and I ended up walking out after half an hour. It was a small venue and I made the mistake of not getting there early enough so was saddled with standing near the bar.
