Ten of the best gigs I've been to (in no particular order)..


Bright Eyes at Birmingham Institute 8/7/11 [setlist]
Eels at St. James Theatre, Auckland 23/10/05 [this article says it was the last night of the tour, I didn't realise that till now]
R.E.M. at Milton Keynes Bowl 30/7/95 [setlist] (this has turned up on quite a lot of bootlegs, it was broadcast on Radio 1)
Suede at Leicester De Montfort Hall (saw them twice there, the Dog Man Star tour was the better one. Can't for the life of me recall or google the date, i think it was December 1994)
Elbow at Birmingham NIA 22/3/11 [here is a video from my phone and here's another one, apologies for being one of those people that do this sort of thing- can i plead the alcohol intoxication excuse?]
Portishead at Glastonbury Festival 26/6/98 [una clip de youtube]
Muse at St. James Theatre, Auckland 14/9/04 [fansite details about the gig]
Radiohead at Milton Keynes Bowl 30/7/95 (supporting R.E.M.)
Mogwai at Reading Festival 2001 [a blog about it]
Pulp at Birmingham NEC 22/2/96 [setlist]

This was just an off the top of my head list. It would probably be different if I did it again tomorrow. I'll write more about each of them at some point.

  1. What about eels at Birmingham town hall...? Great night. Also not forgetting the inevitable alcofrolics afterwards. Good times.

  2. It all went off when those guatemalan freedom fighters turned up eh? Sorry to abandon you down that alley way.
