That's off the top of my head, i have varied tastes haha. Best? Probably massive attack in Sydney a couple of years ago. Worst? U2 at the Olympic stadium were pretty dull, pearl jam at acre were surprisingly flat and I'd have to say tool the second time at BDO, had no response to rammstein. Guetta at Bondi for shore thing was a crazy experience

Wish I could see snoop dogg, pumpkins 15yrs ago and nirvana 20 years ago

Then there is 8 BDO's, 4 soundwaves, 3 field days, 2 park lifes, 2 future music festivals, a come together festival, harvest festival, stereosonic, about 10 north american festivals (coachella, sonic boom x 2, heavy mtl x 2, lollapalooza and a few smaller ones)

Wow, you don't realise how many bands you've seen until you write it out, probably explains my bank balance... Best I've seen are City and Colour, Eric Clapton and Rise Against. Cog always hold a special place in my heart too.

Couldn't be farked listing the bands and probably can't remember them all anyhow but in terms of gigs, one that stands out as right up there happened in a small club in a small town in central queensland

Toe to Toe
Bantha Fodder
Frenzal Rhomb

A few hundred people in a small venue drinking spirits out of small buckets. All three bands went off and hung out with the crowd before and after the gig.

Awesome night.

 

[carcharias]

seen em all .

from the sex pistols to Nirvana - from pink floyd to Don Mclean

However this one coming up could be one of my more memorable..

got a VIP ticket to Adam Ant @ the enmore ...get to hang out after the gig with the crazy old fugger.
Taking my Vinyl copy of "dirk wear white socks" for him to sign.
"Dirk" was Adam and the ants first record way way before ant music...pretty much uk punk of the time.

for weirdness this could rate up there with the "real life "" record launch I stumbled into in Melb about 20 or more years ago.

Best gig: Gorillaz - Amazing production and was just a really fun gig to be apart of - good audience participation and I really enjoyed the varied set.

they are awesome live. have you seen the DVD "Demon Days Live". just awesome.

I haven't been to many because I'm fairly picky in my music tastes..

Pearl Jam - 2006
Pearl Jam - 2009
Eddie Vedder - 2011

:sarcasm:

Gorillaz - 2010

If you're picky and pearl jam is your band of choice, that's quite unfortunate. I'd rate Pearl Jam right up there as one of the worst live acts I've ever seen. Saw them in 2010 and Ben Harper was so much better than the headliners.

 

[Cliffhanger]

The best gig I ever attended was Soundgarden this year at the Entertainment Centre.

Some of the other bands which really impressed me live were:
Iron Maiden
Bad Religion
Rise Against
Mogwai
Stray Cats
RZA

[LESStar58]

On a related note if I could time travel I'd go back in time and see Hank Williams and Bob Wills.

[zombie jesus]

M83 was brilliant last night. Chatty crowd though, ruined a bit of the atmosphere during the quieter parts of songs

 

[azzah72]

I've got a really varied taste in Music:

I've probably seen 200+ acts play live but a few that stoof out for me were.

AC/DC @ ANZ
Green Day @ Acer
Fooeys @ Multiple venues, Most recent @ SFS was pretty great.
Gym Class Heroes @ Manning (Before they got too poppy)
B.o.B @ Metro (before he got too much radio play, I think His first single was just out maybe, regardless it was a surprisingly awesome gig, more of a musician than Rapper, sounded awesome, had alot of varied styles)
MGMT @ Metro
Fall out Boy @ Horden
Incubus @ Horden
Regurgitator @ Gaelic
Daft Punk @ Homebush
Muse @ Acer
Living end @ multiple
Jamiriquai @ Sec

Dissapointmets:

Pearl Jam @ sfs
Metallica @ Acer
Soundgarden @ BDO

 

[zombie jesus]

I thought PJ at the SFS were okay considering Eddie was coughing up a chunk of lung after every song or 2.

I thought PJ at the SFS were okay considering Eddie was coughing up a chunk of lung after every song or 2.

I should say, that I was disappointed because he got sick and didn't really get to the guts of the show, missed alot of great songs, when they were up there, they were good but I guess I just couldn't walk away happy because I payed good money.

I know it wasn't their fault as such, I'd probably pay to see them again if they come out.

I honestly don't think I could ever attend another concert because nothing can impress me any more. Today was the first time since the concert I've listened to band that wasn't soundgarden and I'm listening to Audioslave.
