Way too many but here's a synopsis of some of the highlights:

#1 Meat Loaf
#2 Meat Loaf
#3 Meat Loaf (yep...only saw him 3 times)
#4-36 would be KISS (yep...seen 'em 32 times so far)
#36-#55 would be Cowboy Mouth (from New Orleans and yes, seen them 19 times)
#56 Neil Diamond
#57 Neil Diamond
#58 Neil Diamond
#59-#69 Melissa Etheridge
#70 Culture Club (pre-break)
#71 Culture Club (reunion)
#72 boy george
#73 boy george
#74 willie nelson
#75 Trans-Siberian Orchestra -Just saw them the other night and they completely blew me away!

I think I'll stop with my top 75.....if I try to list them all, I'll be here all night (nor do I think anyone wants to commit to reading my "way too long" list).
Bottom line....Meat has and will always be #1

Jo (yes....I am a concert junkie!)

I think the best gig I've been to for pure showmanship was Gary Glitter, about eleven years ago. He was fantastic. :P

Chris 04 Dec 2003 23:33

Got to confess this.

At uni my now ex-girl dragged me to see a Westlife gig!!!

I was 19 and by far the oldest person in the room!!!

It was dire. The support acts (2 of them) performed then ten minutes of westlife and then more support group.

But then again, if you never see a bad concert, you can't appreciate the good ones as much!!!

My best in order are

Big Country (Any at the T&C Kentish Town)
Queen, Quo, Big Country at Knebworth (forget the fist support act)
Quo (All of them)
Magnum at Hammersmith Odean (as was)
Springstein at Wembley


Worst:

By far was Prince at Wembley in the early 1990's

For those that don't know of him, he writes most of his own stuff, and many songs are long, split into 3 parts and tell a story. Lady in Red is NOT typical of him.

Other excellent concerts we enjoyed - Andrea Bocelli in Manchester last year, and several unforgetable ROY ORBISON concerts before he sadly died - one concert left me sobbing, I wanted more so booked for the following night in another town! Roy and Meat are my favourites, for differing reasons.

I have seen C De B many times and Lady in Red and a Spaceman came travelling are certainly his worst. He has some fantastic stuff like A Spanish Train and a few of the 3 parters are superb. I saw him once at Bournemouth and he was brilliant, we were standing room only but that meant we were 2 feet from the stage. This meant that when he asked for requests he heard us and did what we wanted (Broken Wings) and there was a good banter going on between him and those of us shouting :D.

This was back in 1987 8O

I was lucky enough to see Thin Lizzy in concert.
Phil Lynott really knew how to work a crowd.

Most disappointing I guess was Rainbow, spoiled by the fact that Ritchie Blackmore, for all his talent, just seemed so "up himself" that night.

Chris 05 Dec 2003 20:42

The best bit of the C de B concert was halfway through when the band went to get changed and Chris was just sat on a chair in the middle of the stage with his guitar and asked what we wanted to hear then did a few songs.

Also when he sang Patricia the Stripper. That was a cool sonng.

I think the CdeB song Rosanna has a certain topical subject ;)
