ah jaysus, will you look who's back....
je suis @washingcattle
infamous gigs would be a way more interesting book
there's some gold in that thread. coolio in toners?
Well jealous of your Nick Cave show, I only saw the Bad Seeds after Abattoir Blues came out. It was grand but I wanted something closer to the Live Seeds album. No sense of menace when you have a gospel backing choir.Finding it hard to think right now, but....
Sparklehorse in Whelans - hands down. The greatest hits gig where everyone sang along to everything. Shortly before he passed on.
Nick Cave in SFX in the 80s I think. The Good Son tour I think. Prowling the stage pointing his finger at us. Hamming it up almost Elvis cabaret style but full on. All of us drenched from the minor slam dancing. He was in a bit of a mood cause Ferghal from Whipping Boy wrecked his fave microphone stand earlier.
Arcade Fire first outing at Electric Picnic. The anticipation was electric for about an hour beforehand, and blasted off when they came on and throughout.
Joanna Newsom last year in Olympia. Brought my sister...who was awestruck!
Radiohead all those Point Depot gigs.They kind of blur into one, but I had "BEST GIG EVER" vibes after each one. 5000 people moaning along to Street Spirit has to be experienced by everyone once. Even the haters!
All these Amazing PJ Harvey Olympia gigs...which also gave me "BEST EVER GIG" for days afterwards. Then she just stopped playing here. Boo PJ, boo.
Fleet Foxes in Vicar St. I know most of you don't get it, but supreme vocals and incredible musicians. When they covered Two Headed Boy by NMH and I almost fell over but just lost my house keys instead. Had to come back an hour later. Some kind soul handed them in.
The Neutral Milk Hotel reunion gig in Vicar St. Jaysus. Who cares if it was full of hipsters. I was there with a friend, who normally a quiet one, screamed silently at the intro to every track.
Leonard Cohen first night in Kilmainham. Possibly the most spiritual moment of my life.
Ah gigs.
Sparklehorse in Whelans - hands down. The greatest hits gig where everyone sang along to everything. Shortly before he passed on.
Again, a lot of jealousy here. Those are my two favourite Nick Cave albums to boot.Wasn't that Nick Cave gig in the SFX 91, Henry's Dream. Unless he played before that, before my time. I didn't see him until Let Love In, that was in London. Brilliant gig.
The Music Tapes in the Workmans. I've spoken of this before on here. Just utterly, utterly bizarre from start to finish. That right @Lili Marlene ?
Full details please.Definitely up there as among the strangest ever gigs. Getting the whole crowd to have a game of chasing wtf
Well the Music Tapes are an odd band at the best of times, all musical saws and weird instruments. Their live show includes extended storytelling segments and at one point they turn on a tv they have on stage and it "sings" the next song. It'd be irritating if it was in any way an affectation but the lead fella clearly believes very strongly in what he's doing.Full details please.
