FabSwingers.com forum: Your best act live. Who was it?

Who is the live act that you will always remember?

Mine, I saw chilli opera at the Manchester City stadium. (Empty-ad

)

But it was the supporting act that I was blown away with. The showmanship, the music his presence. And I will never ever forget the performance I saw from the one and only James Brown. Efin’ Brilliant.

What’s yours?

"Bon Jovi at St Mary's Southampton "

Huge Bon Jovi fan here saw him years ago at MK bowl (May of been on the bounce tour) and he was awesome. When he done the residency at the 02 I think I ended up going to 5 or 6 of the shows but honestly after the 2nd I regretted buying tickets for the other dates. Honestly his voice just sounded shot to pieces

Black Eyed Peas (4 Feb 1999)

Flew into Las Vegas from London and saw a billboard advertising a one-night-only concert by the BEPs after collecting our hire car and driving to The Four seasons Hotel.

Checked in at, maybe 4 pm, and the clerk asked if there was anything else that he could help us with. I said 'any chance of getting tickets for tonight's BEPs concert?'.

One telephone call and the concierge had secured two tickets for what was a tremendous performance in quite an intimate venue; Fergie singing whilst performing back-flips was amazing.

I've enjoyed some spectacular stadium gigs but probably the act I remember most fondly for its intimate setting and feeling that I was totally involved was seeing Portishead play at the Eve Club in London just after they released Dummy and just before they really took off. I was literally stood three foot away from Beth Gibbons as she sang, and the acoustics in such a small space were amazing. It really sent a shiver up your spine and was a very special night.

However the most stand out recently for me was Fontaines DC at the O2 in Newcastle, absolutely terrific & Grian has so much of an Ian Curtis air to him. Superb.

His damn enterance!!!! About 30 people holding his cape. Seriously that was The Showmanship I can appreciate.

Chicks on speed was on from the start. (Google a YouTube video, it’s worth it) and it was something else. Chilli peppers even said something to the crowd about how disgusted he was that people were throwing bottles at them.

. An experimental band doesn’t deserve that.

Chilli peppers didn’t play the Zephyr song.

Reverend and The Makers at Camden Rocks.

The Rifles also at Camden Rocks.

Of those I did go specifically to see, Junior Walker & The All Stars and UB40 (long before they split) stand out.

"led zeppelin at knebworth in 79 made even better as a little known support band played in the afternoon AC/DC"

AC/DC were on the shortlist but Plant said no as he did not like them. They did support the Who at their wembley gig in the same year and month (August). Maybe that was the gig you meant?

Saw a good live sex show put on by fm couple in Amsterdam some years ago now. They were an American couple and the guy was a muscle man. I went to the show with my girlfriend and she went up on the stage in response for volunteers to rub oil over his muscles. Unfortunately, it didn't go any further and he wasn't naked just had very small g string. I would have loved to have seen her at least wank him off if not suck him off. But she was led back to her seat by the girl after the oiling with applause from the audience.The couple then finished the act fucking while the stage rotated to give everyone a good view. We did have a chat with them later and they were a married couple we found out.

Cheshire

Burt Bacharach with special guest Will Young and Elvis Costello (he put his phone on Burts piano, so his Mum could listen in) at Liverpool ‘pops’ concerts at the Docks, about 7 or 8 years ago.

I was almost in tears as everyone at the end was singing ‘raindrops keep falling on my head’.

To see a master at work is a memory I’ll cherish
