    The best was the first time I saw the Foo Fighters, did a 2h15 show followed by a 45 min encore at the MK Bowl. Second is controversially Coldplay at the Etihad. Not a band I'd usually choose to see, but the energy and showmanship made it, as well as all the lighting effects. Third was Newton Faulkner at the Shepherd's Bush Empire - God awful at talking to the crowd, but brilliant acoustic set and got the crowd involved. Stereophonics at Wembley Arena was 4th - Kelly Jones did an amazing Mr Writer acoustic halfway through the set and then brought the band back in to finish the song. Bon Jovi would probably be 5th as saw them on a beach in Belgium with my sis after promising her tickets if she cycled to Bruges with me.
    You are essentially an oxygen thief.

    Some of their music's really good IMHO but for me Chris Martin's voice is the weak point....Just no rock rawness ala Kelly Jones or Bono in his prime....

    Seen the Stone Roses twice and was front stage security for Bjorn Again for a gig. Some bird asked if I could get her back stage to which I replied 'You do know that they ain't the real ABBA'.

    A rigger I worked with wanted to drop 2kgs or red meat on Morrissey's head as he had banned the sale of meat at the venue

    On performance I'd go for ratm, rolling stones and acdc just ahead of flaming lips and james brown. Took hours to settle down after rage against the machine.
    Prince the best lookers and best dressed by far and madness the best crowd/laugh.

    Sadly missed Neil Young as a man we worked with had a heart defect and died suddenly, heads were elsewhere naturally. David Bowie another, 3 tickets became 2 and I lost out.

    A coue in there that I'd love to see.

    How were Aerosmith, heard that they were a real let down live?

    Also Pearl Jam would be on my bucket list of bands.
