What was the best gig you ever went to? (2 Viewers)

[stephenoblunt]

Best gig was probably The Offspring in SFX 1998. I unfortunately haven't enjoyed a gig as much since then - First time drunk at a gig, going into Dublin, played a gig in Eamon Doran's that afternoon... It was magical. (We actually have that gig on video, we weren't Kid Blunt back then, but it is very funny to watch. I think we may have been a bit better then.)

Ooh! Forgot Fugazi touring on the back of Margin Walker in '89 at the Arts College, Belfast. Even the bootleg still sends shivers up my spine when it comes to the spoken word bit in Suggestion...

planxty are punk as fuck.
they went against the grain by having a piper play with string musicians, it was frowned upon back in the day but they just didn't give a fuck. also like all good punk bands from years ago they've reformed for a load of cash-in gigs.
