legendary gigs

[Kitch]

picking up from some boring discussion topic...

which legends of rock have you seen live ?

I count among mine
SLF
The Smiths
Dylan
and Kylie - Ahh. No. Actually it was that utter twat in the papier mache head that sang "I should be so lucky" with a broad Lancastrian accent.
Easily confused though.

legends wot I missed the opportunity of seeing
Thin Lizzie playing in Avesta Sweden when I was staying with my mate Jens - summer '85

define legends? otherwise we're going to get someone mentioning status quo again, or worse...

i think i'll stay out of this but i'm quite jealous your first 3.

[Mrs H.]

the Rolling Stones,
the Who,
Dire Straits,
Genesis (Pre-Phil)

[frodo]

As Brooner says it does depend how you define the legendary status but sticking to a fairly strict definition i'd include radiohead, pulp, rage against the machine, green day and oasis on my list (even if oasis have been pish post the masterplan). Pretty mainstream but there you are.

[Kitch]

No-way
thats up to you, then we can take the piss out of examples such as Dire Straits.

[frodo]

Oh and also dylan, on the same night it was a choice between him at the sheffield arena or daphne and celeste at the octagon so it was obviously a very tough decision.

S Club 7 and The Corries

[ryeland of doom]

Fire Engines,supporting U2 in a now defunct Edinburgh nightclub. Not inverse snobbery, I like Fire Engines I do not like U2, but having said that they put on an awesome set.

Clash at the old Odeon

Kraftwerk at the Playhouse.

And of course The Fall several times in several places.

S Club 7 and The Corries

what, together !!?

[brooner]

okay i'll play then.

mainstream:
rem & manics at glastonbury,
radiohead in their big tent tour,
pulp at roseisle,
smashing pumpkins,
martyn bennett,
primal scream

oh, and the proclaimers at t in the park was pretty damn guid too.

more underground legends:
sonic youth, fugazi, shellac

i saw the fire engines at new year and although they were good it was only really davey henderson who still had any punk blood left in him, the others looked like they'd come straight from their day jobs for the fat farewell paycheck

[Mrs H.]

Blimey Kitch - you are in such a bad mood - slagging off in every thread - wot's wrong - it is Friday afternoon you know (remember, they'll all be laughing at what you think is cool in 30 years time too!) Doesn't mean i'm going to keep my mouth shut and you did ask. - (At least you've heard of them)

[rosalind]

R.E.M,
Red Hot Chili Peppers,
Foo fighters,
Queens of the Stone-Age,
Feeder,
Bon Jovi

...would be the top bands I've seen. Though if I scrape up enough money to go to Witness this year then I'll get to see James Brown!!

[Wattok]

Poor effort from me but:
Van Morrison (stoned out of his tree!)
Bob Dylan (passed it/pissed...one the other i couldn't tell!)
Oasis

[Stodgetta]

If I play, I'll be told I have no taste in music (again)

My avetar kind of gives it away, and he was fab

[Mrs H.]

Don't be brow beaten stodgetta - we have a right to be heard
