Which band would you like to see before they retire?

Luckily the pretenders where support act when I saw u2 in the '80s.

All down hill after that.

 

Elastica

 

i remember watching Glasto when Chris Martin and Bonio were on stage together and i recall thinking a single grenade would have done for the pair of them!

 

My mate Alan saw the Beatles twice, and has a t shirt that tells everyone so. His wife was a regular dancing in front of the stage when Top of The Pops came from an old church on Dickinson Road, Rusholme, before it moved off to the smoke.

The Beatles didn’t exist by the time I was old enough to go to gigs, in the 60s I wouldn’t have heard much anyway for all the screaming.

I was lucky (or determined enough) to see many of my favourite bands live, but Hendrix, the Doors ( I knew someone who saw both at the Isle of Wight festival) and Creedence eluded me by not lasting long enough.

 

Patti Smith
Joni mitchel

Pj Harvey

 

Rolf Harris live at the Scrubs

 

Gone way too arty farty for me! I really liked the raw earlier stuff though.

 

Honestly, nobody. You miss them in their prime you might as well not bother.
It would be better if they faded away doing worse and worse gigs until the Stones for example were playing your local pub.
Internet file sharing has put too much emphasis on live work as the only real income so guess what, the old farts charge £200 to stand half a mile away - what's the point?

 

RHCP. Although they are playing in London this summer, but I can’t go…

 

oh yes - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds! (again)

 

Just bought.... 'stories from the city stiries fromthe sea' 2000. Really like it.

 

THE best album, fantastic. Really good live though I missed out.

 

Saw them last year in that London, they were excellent!
Support was Thundercat and Anderson Paak.

 

RHCP don't seem to have gone downhill, even though they're getting on a bit.

 

Don't hear much from Pinky and Perky these days.

 

Whats it called?

 

Same old story, sex, drugs, rock n roll, musical differences

 

The one you just bought - The live clip is that album tour.
