Excellent - The Who / Sheffield - Unbelievable Live show -
V.Good - Stone Roses / Spike Island - Blew me away -
Good - Primal Scream / Brixton Academy - Fantastic Live band
Average - Oasis / Maine Road - Too much hype
Poor - Blur / Hammersmith Apollo - average at best
Shite - Happy Mondays / Wembley Areana - Crap venue and even worse performance from the Monday's

Fun Lovin Criminals - Newcastle Uni 1997, brilliant
Drugstore - Newcastle Riverside 94, they just got another deal this week, delighted for them
Bjork - Blackpool Empress, high as a kite
Skunk Anansie + Chumbawamba, Leeds, noisy hot and sweaty in a tent
disappointed - getting absolutely blootered and sleeping through the James farewell tour. Fortunately they released it on dvd and reformed as well

Re: Gigs that have suprised/disappointed you
any dream will do and of course, especially for you. But I didnt actually like him I'd like to add - was more of a Bros fan, haha
Worse - Happy Mondays supporting Oasis at Wembley. Oasis were OK although insults from Liam such as "cockney w**kers" made me want to ask for my money back.
Best - Prodigy at Battersea Power station and V festival 2005 (?), E Z Rollers at Plymouth Student Union and Red Hot Chili Peppers T in the Park in 2006, although spent all day working my way forward so I was right in front of the stage then had to give it up for the sake of not wetting myself. Now, I wished I'd stayed there

Surprised - Def Leppard at Brixton, not by them, as they are great live, but the support act. The Darkness about a year before I believe in a thing called love. Hawkins walks on in a pink cat suit and was met by confused looks. Then he just blew the place apart!
Best - Net Aid 1999 Robbie Williams, Bowie, Bryan Adams, 'phonics, Eurythmics, George Michael, Corrs and Bush. Absolutely superb on all counts.
Worst - can't actually think of one at the moment, but sure I'll think of one!
