I've seen a few good bands. My top two are Iron Maiden and The Killers. Iron Maiden is number one for me. To see them live was something phenomenal.

Sadly Kurt Cobain died before I was born. So never got chance to see Nirvana. I have seen Rammstein live. Another amazing band.

Loved when Maiden flew over the spitfire at Download some years ago.

One of my favourite live music memories was ok the hill at download, in the rain, no entirely sober, dancing around to Pendulum and The Prodigy and just having the best time.

But all time favourite live band is Muse. Ironically I actually don’t really like their music but they just put on the best live show, seen them a couple of times now.

The best band i have ever seen live was Lynyrd Skynyrd At Knebworth in 1976. A very large proportion of the crowd had never heard them before, but they had certainly heard them when the set was over. I think i can safely say that Skynyrd blew the Rolling Stones off the stage.

Been to a lot of their concerts.

The best ones were the ones that were like mini festivals. A whole day of different band.

The Taylor Hawkins tribute was the best I’d been to though just for all the bands coming together to celebrate his life.

Really difficult one to answer.

I've seen a hell of a lot of bands.

Dog eat Dog and Downset at the Underworld for sheer fun.

Biohazard at the Marquee for the aftershow.

Slayer at Nottingham Rock City

Faith No More at Subterrania.

Boysetsfire anywhere I've seen them.

The list is endless.

First played UK in 1976.

So if poster is now 57, as per profile, you’re right, they would have been quite young … about 9.

The Jam. I’ve been to hundreds of gigs, seen hundreds of bands, nobody even comes close to coming close.

Runners up are The Chords with their reunion gig at The Garage in Islington

Honorary mentions for Stiff Little Fingers (circa 50+ gigs) and Nine Below Zero (1981, Friars).

Most unexpected great gig was Bauhaus in ‘81. Didn’t like the music at all, phenomenal stage act.

For pure ability to perform so perfectly live then I’d say Tool.

For atmosphere I’d say Saul Williams - a crowd where only a few knew his music was completely transformed with him down in the crowd going a capella. It was amazing!

Mumford and sons were truly epic live, as were muse, but someone who completely blew my socks off and I didn't except it was Eminem!

by the big field

In no particular order, i can get it down to the following short list

Prodigy- the most electric atmosphere and all round full on stage performance

INXS- never seen a band so musically tight and Hutchence was easily the most perfect rock/pop front man

NIN- By far the most intense show i've ever seen

The Wonder Stuff- Consistently the best live band you could see for the last 20 years (well almost 40 if you count the full history)

Chemical Brothers- The 2018 live tour was technically mind blowing

Busted/McFly/McBusted...bit random, seen all iterations and they are really just having the most fun and a total piss about- generally hilarious to watch

Random Indian tabla player fine tuning his gear right after soundcheck at Wembley Arena- just him on the PA, utterly beautiful and mesmerising...most of the crew, stopped working just to watch and listen and gave him a round of applause when he finished

Very hard to pick... But it's between the jam, the clash, generation x, stiff little fingers and nine below zero

Santana about ‘70. Although Carlos gets the plaudits it was the percussion that hit you.

Saw nine below zero back in the day. Brilliant live. Actually forgot about them.

Wedding present always good too.

Just a matter of luck. Remember seeing green day in the late 80s. They were not in the same league as bad religion.

Tooo many. We go to loads of gigs, usually

2-4 a month, but the bands I (Mrs K) always try and see again and again are

Pulp

Muse

Prodigy

Suede

Pendulum

AC/DC

The Pierce Brothers

The Vaccines

And surprisingly

Franz Ferdinand with Sparks - FFS were bloody brilliant so were Pete and the Pirates.

So glad Brixton Academy is reopening this month.

I am the same. Queen couple times. The Who. Plus a lot of others. I will say as live band Slade . Must have seen them with Noddy as lead singer about five or more times. If others have seen them. Very heavy band.

You just reminded me, I saw Green Day in about ‘91, in the small upstairs room at the Wheatsheaf in Stoke.
