I'm sure in 5 minutes I'll think of 5 more gigs I loved more, but hey! I lived in London for a few years when I was young and childless, and lived in Stockwell and Brixton, a mere stone's throw from Brixton academy so I was always going to gigs there.

I went to that concert....

Incredible and definately up there as one of the best I have been to - Opening with The Pot and finishing with Vicarious was simply mindblowing...

Just seen Skunk Anansie in a real small venue in Portsmouth and Porcupine Tree at the Hammersmith Apollo... but managed to completely miss Opeth.. next time.

Live (the Distance is Here tour) at Leeds Town Hall was very good, as was their then unknown support act... some three piece called Muse.

A bit eclectic, and some of them are dead, they are all very good performers, by all accounts. I missed Iron maiden here a few months ago. (And I am gonna miss accadacca in Jan)

[Tricky Nicky]

I will go with Green Day and U2 - not so sure about the rest tho.

Bryan Adams - awesome live - loved it!

Bon Jovi - absolutely brilliant live - want to go again!

Same band, same venue, but different concert as I went before the 10 000 days album had been released so it can't have been that one.

I've mentioned on here before that the bass-player for Porcupine Tree lives across the road from me, and his son is in the same nursery class as my daughter. Just to shatter any rock 'n' roll illusions you may have of the band, I saw him heading off for this tour (that you saw him on the other night) and he was putting his suitcase into a mini-cab at his front door - I thought the tour bus would pick him up, with groupies and drugs falling out the windows, but no!

Isn't it weird how some acts sound better live and vice versa...I know I'd be gutted if I went to one and they sounded crap...anyway, here goes:
