Raw energy:
Guns n Roses
Ted Nugent
SRV

Stevie Ray Vaughan *is jealous*

Biggest disappointment was Bob Dylan.
Probably due to the venue. Manchester Evening News Arena last year.
I was sat on the second tier at the back and the acoustics of the place were crap to say the least.
And it cost me a small fortune. :(

I've been there before.

125.00 to see Aerosmith, and got to listen to a low, underlying hum throughout the show. It was just horrible.

You can imagine what Dylan sounded like then.

"mmm, mmm, der der daa, mmm der daa, mumble stone"

And thats just on his albums





*Cymbal crash*

I've been fortunate to see Zep live circa 1972 and Status Quo around the same time. More recently, I've seen The Flaming Lips...and they're awesome!

I've not been to many concerts....

Def Leppard
Status Quo
The Commitments

Other more poppy ones whilst at school, and generally only came on for one song at a roadshow!

Was very impressed with Yes and Jean Luc Ponty. Awesome performances
