Off the top of my head..

Maybe more to follow


Best performer / show - Barry Manilow

Coldplay numerous times .. amazing
Incubus numerous times - amazing
Metallica - amazing
Status Quo - amazing

Will Young. - excellent
Beautiful South - good
Lightning Seeds - good

Stevie Wonder - most expensive and most disappointing .. he was self indulgent and didn’t play all his popular songs just about 10 tracks and each one went on forever ..,

Mariah Carey was a highlight. Was the last time she was over here doing a sort of Greatest Hits world tour a few years back and I (as did most others probably) just presumed she'd be just "okay" and would lip-sync most of her songs...

Couldn't have been more wrong. She was hitting them notes live like nobody's business! Was fantastic. Did all the hits.

The Big Reunion Tour was fantastic for the 90's cheese factor.

Seen quite a few different acts really - Brian Adams, Texas, Sugababes, Madness, Steps, S Club 7, Lisa Stansfield and more. Good range.

SO many... but I've seen U2 more than any other band, in fact, I saw them in New York, on a date with my current husband before we split and I married my first husband. It's complicated LOL.... Saw Michael Jackson back in the 90s who was brilliant and I was lucky enough to see Nirvana when I was only... about 12, or 13.

We saw Teen Spirit at our local club . Obviously they were a Nirvana tribute act BUT they were amazing !

They looked identical and sounded just like the studio / album versions !
They actually sounded better than the real Nirvana and apparently Dave Grohl was so impressed with them that he had them play at his wedding !!

His solo gig was great because it was a small venue, maybe 5000 capacity, the gig I'm going to see him in with Pearl Jam in June has a 40k capacity

One day I have got to see Muse live, they're one of my favourite bands, along with Linkin Park and The Police.

Ex Mrs LT went to see Take That on Friday and had a great time said they were brilliant

[LaLaLand]

Haven't been to many big concerts but:-

1. The Big Reunion Tour (5ive, Atomic Kitten, Blue, Liberty X, Honeyz, 911, B*Witched) - was fantastic tbh. We were front row in Liverpool and had a blast. Great 90's tunes, everyone in the audience was on their feet, dancing, singing and having a great time.

2. S Club 7 - we were quite far back because we got tickets late for it but still had a great night. Feel lucky that I got to see them as the full 7 (with Paul, RIP).

3. Steps & Vengaboys - fantastic. Really good. Vengaboys were amazing supporting. Really fun night.

4. Mariah Carey - surprisingly amazing. I say surprisingly because I fully expected her to lip-sync a lot (she tends to nowadays) but she didn't at all from what I could gather. One of my favourite concerts. She did her duet with Whitney with Whitney on the big screen singing her bits, and a rendition of "I'll Be There" where young Michael Jackson sang parts too. Goosebumps. Really good.

5. Bryan Adams - 10/10. No notes. Full of energy, loud, everything you'd expect.

6. Texas - amazing live. Sharleen sounds exactly the same, note perfect. Hearing "Inner Smile" live was an experience, one of my favourite songs.

7. Madness - absolutely crackers. Bonkers. Fantastic. Constantly throwing "presents" into the crowd (it was a December gig) and my mate nabbed one, a t-shirt. Freezing cold and wet but such a laugh.

Seeing Chic & Sophie Ellis Bextor this summer - can't wait! :love:

Seen so many inc lots of Glastonburys, lots of big names but my night at Docklands for the Jean- Michel Jarre concert was a well trippy night but also an amazing incredible night ! drove home got refreshed and drove back to London (no tickets this time) for second night and sat on a pavement with tons of other people , whole neighborhood hanging out of windows, it was such a brilliant atmosphere. A mega memory ! I've just been taken back there.:cheer2:
