    Yes, around 1990/91 in Warrington. Was *interesting*. Far too much beer being thrown around..

    I feel like this topic comes up as much as a west stand related one!

    But... in no particular order (as it varies based on my level of fickleness!)

    Kasabian and the Hours at the Eden Project.
    Chemical Brothers (supported by Calin Harris) in Trafalgar Square.
    Massive attack supported by Goldfrapp (and others) in Park Square, Bristol.
    Prodigy supported by Foo Fighters at G-Mex with an honourable mention to their midnighter 2hr set in Brixton for their invaders must die tour.

    And purely for sating the whims of my inner schoolboy, Duran Duran at Lovebox!

    The most memorable gigs were the Beatles Sheffield City Hall in 1963, Leonard Cohen at Leeds University in1971 also ‘Free’ at Leeds Carnegie same year.
    The best live band and I’ve seen an awful lot, has got to be ‘The Pirates’ with Mick Green at his best.
