For a metal fan, this seems weird for me to say. But I genuinely enjoyed Justin Timberlake more than any gigs I’ve been to.
Why? You ask.
Because I was kinda dragged along, I was expecting to hate every minute of it. But I walked out having been thoroughly entertained by a talented chap,and I was able to just watch the show without being a fan, and getting overwhelmed at seeing someone I idolise. |

"What is the best concert that you have ever been to. For me Queen at Wembley Stadium in 86, wish I'd seen Tina Turner!"
Amazingly, I've never been to one.
But there's one I wish I could have gone to and thats Glastonbury 1995, specificallly to see Pulp.

Queen at Wembley in 1986, we were right at the front, absolutely awesome! Also, ELO at Wembley in June 2017, just brilliant, the old ones are the best..... |

Not all that North of North London |
While not a full gig I once saw Mick Jones of The Clash, Wayne Kramer of MC5, Chris Shiflet of the Foo Fighters and Billy Bragg in a pub in Camdem play a brief set of pubk covers including Kick Out The Jamms and Jail Guitar Doors and I've seen 100s of gigs over the last 35 years but nothong will come close to matching that!

At LIVE AID Queen simply stole the show ..they owned the stage .. unbelievable performance.. simple as ...no one came even close to them ..." We'd like to dedicate this song to all the beautiful people here tonight...which of course is all of you ".  |

Very hard to say what was the best concert I've been to seen so many brilliant ones. The most unexpected one was back in about 1976. A local guitar shop used to hire a nearby pub on a Sunday afternoon once a month and organise impromptu gigs and invite various musicians to jam. One I went to had a drummer that had done lots of session recordings, a local keyboard player, Chris Spedding (lots of sessions, one hit wonder in the 70s and was the main guitarist on Geoff Wayne's War of the Worlds album) and Jack Bruce on bass and vocals! Wow, Jack Bruce in a Doncaster pub on a Sunday afternoon!

I was at Live Aid. A few incredible memories and a lot of stuff that has faded into insignificance. But I tend to find I love every concert I've been too, from Take That, to the Killer through to Bad Manners and Buster Bloodvessel. Just love live music. |

Been to alot of concerts, acdc/stones/elton/queen/faithless/neworder/police/evanesence/within temptation etc etc but one of the best has to be, and dont laugh now  the gregorian masters of chant  (modern songs performed in a nod to chant, youtube them(esp the dark side album), you may be very surprized at what you might like by them LOL) travelled to poland to see them and boy! Was it worth the trip, a great fun entertaining night out, with a bit of a light show and the lads n lassies at the end of the show do a casual meet n greet with the attendies of the concert |

I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't love concerts, but I think the most iconic I've been to was The Verve at Haigh Hall, 1998.
Best voice I've ever heard live is Beverly Knight's, Hammersmith Apollo (early 2000s?) - she's amazing! |

Hard one to call.
For the sheer show 'pink the fun house tour'.
For the memories.
Bon Jovi these days tour 1996 at Milton Keynes bowl.
But 1 stands out for sentimental reasons. Linkin Park Hunting party tour at the 02 in London. Last chance we ever had to see Chester. |

"AC/DC Glasgow Apollo '78, Bon Scott on vocals.
Was that the April gig where If You Want Blood, You've Got It was recorded?"
Yes that was the released album for the tour. An amazing night in the old Apollo. |
