I have two :-

I was lucky to see Joe Cocker just before he died at Hammersmith apollo. That man had such an amazing voice.

Johnny Cash in the 1980s at Wembley Conference Centre.

Not best overall but saw James Brown supporting the Chilis, for which I (Mr) am truly grateful!

Biased towards Pearl Jam, seen them 6 times already and got 3 shows in Europe and 1 in Boston this summer; however if pushed it would have to be the Roses. Saw them twice in the last few years and although the sound maybe isn't what it once was, any gig that unites that many people with a feeling of love and togetherness, well that's up there.

There and to the left a bit

There have been so many down the years that have been excellent (Green Day last year, on the barrier for Biffy Clyro, a few Muse gigs, first time seeing The Specials on their comeback tour and numerous others)..

... but the one that would be my Groundhog Day would be Madness' comeback gig "Madstock" in 1992 - was their first gig in 6 years, caused an earthquake and was both emotional and downright excellent in so many ways.

Iv been to hundreds of gigs over the years. Most fantastic, love live music. Last gig was the Stereophonics in Leeds in march this year, about the 9th time we have seen them, they were awsome as always. Probably the most memorable was the year Leicester won the Prem title. Just after we won it we saw Kasabian at the KP stadium, they are massive LCFC fans, it was a dream come true. A few days later we saw the Stereophonics at Leeds, brilliant as always, then a few days after that we saw Coldplay at Man Citys stadium, hubby wore a LCFC shirt and had endless guys come and shake his hand, slap him on the back, hug him, kiss him to congratulate him on Leicester winning the title, you would have thought hubby played for Leicester lol. We had seen each group many times before but it was a memorable 8 days following on from our win
