After a long wait due to illness, we finally went to see the Modfather last night at the Apollo. It was worth the wait. Good gig, a few old faves popped into his repertoire, That's Entertainment, Broken Stones, You do something to me, the Changingman. Weller is a brilliant guitarist and the band sounded fantastic. After a decent 5 song encore he ended with Town called Malice. We definitely got our money's worth.

Saw Weller on the same bill as Noel Gallagher, Ian Brown & Mani, The Charlatans, Echo & The Bunnymen, Andy Rourke of The Smiths, Hooky of Joy Division/New Order ...and Johnny Vegas

Versus Cancer 2007 - Manchester MEN - 30/03/07. Brilliant gig.

Oasis in 2005 was probably the biggest gig I've been to.

My favourite gig though was The Verve on 21st December '07 at Manc Central (formerly GMEX). They played an unbelievable set, nearly every song had the hairs on the back of my neck right on end. The Coral supported too! Superb gig. Electric from start to finish.

Best ..either Tina Turner at the Oakland Coliseum or Stevie Ray Vaughn (opening act Bonnie Raitt) at Concord Pavilion

Worst/Saddest , a 70 odd year old Eartha Kitt doing a late night cabaret act , open air, mid afternoon at the Alameda County annual livestock show .

A close tie between Bobby "Blue" Bland at House of the Blues, New Orleans, 2003 and Champion Jack Dupree at Accrington Jazz Club, 1969.

well the best gig for me this millenium was tonights Van Morrison @ Blackpool Opera House, First class band, First class vocals, hard to distinguish between record n live, for me thats the mark of a great artist.

I went to Manchester Apollo last night to watch The Enemy AGAIN.. it was brilliant they did a half decent cover of the Sex Pistols 'God Save The Queen' which was a shock. U2 still the best Live group IMO
