Dark Artist

I've seen Metallica, Tenacious D, Korn, Flyleaf, Pain, Evanescence and Nightwish, and NW was by far the best.

Most memorable:

The Waterboys gig 1987...Greenpeace Ship...Dublin Docks...May evening...sun setting...pint of Guinness in hand...magic. ..pictures of that gig went onto the cover of Fishermans Blues album..

You were there? Wow! I saw them in 2007 in Galway, was a great show! Have met Steve a couple of times and met the whole band at that gig!

Latchy

I remember seen The Waterboys in Dublin back in late 80s ,think it was in In McGonagles .Then later we ended up in some wine bar in Leeson street and who should walk in but the Waterboys

guinnessdrinker

Something Happens in Whealans a few years ago, at one stage when it was going great they did a cover of Can't Get You Out of My Head, sorry Tom, it was kinda embarrassing!

Elliemental

My first gig was Suede in 1993, since then i've seen Manic Street Preachers, Oasis, Pulp, Ian Brown, Embrace, REM, Sleeper, The Verve, Iron Maiden, and really no idea who else.

My God?! How in the world did you fund those?!
You saw Bruce 12 time! I feel privileged to be seeing him for the second time!

delbertgrady

To be fair, that's seventeen years worth, so it balances out, I suppose.

The Pontiac

I'm not going to list everyone I've seen, just the best and the worst..

The Best..
Roger Waters-he plays a very, very long concert and was probably the best I've ever seen. The crowd were just metal all through the gig.
Neil Young-also a very long one and his last tour got the much deserved acclaim as one of his greatest tours.
Flaming Lips-definetly one of the best live bands in world. Even non-fans are just blown away by the Lips live. The whole bubble thing and the costumes is just unreal, as is the music btw.
Ryan Adams-Great live performer.
Tom Waits-just unreal, nuff said.
Peter Broderick-only saw this guy on friday night last. Bon Iver meets Sigur Ros. A multi-instrumentalist to the core and literally runs from instrument to instrument. Donal Dineen plays this guy alot. One of the shortest gigs ever though.


The worst..

Not many really but Fionn Regan just didn't do it for me. He just seemed uninterested at the time.

Dan Dare

The first was Slade, in the National Stadium. The best was Roger Waters in the Marquee, though Massive Attack were great in the same venue. John Cale in the early '80's, Souixe and The Banshees, Dr Feelgood, Genesis with Peter Gabriel (supporting Lindesfarne), the Rats, The Radiators From Space, John Cooper Clarke, Echo and The Bunnymen, The Clash, Roogalator etc etc.

I remember that Police gig in Leixlip. I was in boarding school in Clongowes. About 10 or fifteen miles away. No joke, I was playing rugby and we heard message in a bottle coming in clearly over the fields. I remember someone singing along while we were in a scrum. Big crack up.
