Also, I saw a practically unheard of Tool supporting RATM , also awesome.

And the night I randomly flew to Amsterdam to see Sylvan Esso perform a secret gig in a coffee shop

In terms of the best music, probably Queen & Adam Lambert. I'd love to have seen them live with Freddie on vocals, but he'd passed before I ever really discovered Queen.

For pure enjoyment however, Steel Panther. Ok, so they're not everyone's cup of tea, but it was an absolute riot of a gig.

As many have said lots to pick from but top of my head .. Neneh Cherry at Albert Halls , Manchester, 2019 … perfect dual reaction of the crowd going ape at the performance and the band feeding off that and bringing their absolute best

Fond memories of Blur in 96 as it was my first.

As for most fun either Chemical Brothers or Spunge in Leeds a few years later.

Too many to mention. But Cardiacs, The Fall, and a younger me - Metallica/danzig on the justice tour. Oh and Fishbone- what a live band.

And three days - Jane’s Addiction.

And Slint

And my bloody Valentine

This is an impossible question

SUNNO))) - just ridiculous

Cardiacs is the answer- godlike

Went to the first night at Heaton. The sound was crap because it was windy. Never been to an outdoor gig since.

I was one of the lucky ones who got a ticket for the reunion gig at the Parr Hall in Warrington. Now that was an ‘I was there’ moment 😎

Does anyone think the venue itself can make a difference if you enjoy the gig or not?

There's a venue in glasgow called the arches, not sure if it's still going. It's like a long aircraft hangar shape and if you are at the back, the sound is really muddy and unclear.

However

A place like band on the wall in manchester, (where they keep upgrading the sound system) is crystal clear and you can hear a pin drop in the music mix.

Oh absolutely it can make a difference! Sheffield Arena is one of the worst venues in the world sadly. I have seen some of my faves there, acts who of course are superb musicians and performers, sound... well... terrible.

Eric Clapton, Page & Plant, Neil Young, Metallica, Slipknot to name a few have all "floundered". And I still think its a utter travesty that the legendary Ms Tina Turner's last ever gig was there. She, like the others, battled hard but its just souless and the sonics woefully dreadful.

Like you say such as Band On The Wall is the exact opposite! Amazing sound and brilliant atmosphere. Manchester Academy and Leeds Arena recently both upgraded its "line array" sound systems (to compete with the new Co-op Arena's) and all 3 venues sound utterly amazing.

Also, The Corrs were very good, much better than I was expecting.

Would have liked to see Anastacia back in the day but didn't. I know she's still going but her voice isn't the same now, poor Lass has had many medical issues over the years which have had an impact on her vocals and health.

Country to Country 2018 Dublin. Chris Stapleton headlined. Atmosphere and music was unreal.

The Eagles, Stormont Castle, Belfast 2001. Just epic.

Snow Patrol, Ward Park, Bangor 2007. Home town gig in my own home town. Unforgettable.
