Respect! Any Martin or Dave solo shows? Just to rub salt in the wound, like. :rolleyes:
Oh, and like freakscenery asked, which ones stood out?

Hi, good question. If had to pick one then 93 in paris 2nites at bercy. What an atmosphere. This was before youtube and the net so i hadnt heard what setlist or what the stage was like. I remember i was about ten rows back and it was savage. I was blown away by the stage and screens. Walking in my shoes was majestic. What a song and the wonderful dragonlady walking between the stages was really cool. Although other tours have all had their moments, i dont think anything topped the devotional tour. I left out i was at the ultra album launch party where they played a few tracks from the brilliant ultra album.
By the way bercy in paris rocks. If u can get to a concert there GO!
O2 london in the spring for the last tour this year was the best of the 3 i went to on the sotu tour.
Oh no, havent gone to see martin or dave solo. Pity they didnt do Dublin.

Motley Crue

Only gonna mention acts Ive seen 3 times or more....

David Bowie (x10)

OK, I have to ask, which was your favourite and can you list them all?

I'm so jealous of you, especially given Bowie's current "absence" from music

Had a ticket to see him, him alone, at Oxegen 2004....last chance I ever got....

useded

Biffy Clyro - 11 times.
Metallica -5 times (young and silly, but still fun for old times sake )
Bloc Party - 4 times.
Animal collective - 3 times.
Panda Bear - 2 times.
Arcade Fire- 2 times.

Probably forgetting a rake of them but I think Biffy tops it by miles!

jenizzle

Pearl Jam x 22
...and their support - Ben Harper x about 7, Futureheads x too many
RHCP x 5
Anathema x 4 (will be up to 6 or 7 by the end of the year hopefully!)
Alice in Chains x 4

...can't remember many others!

Apparently Dave was lined up to do two nights in the Olympia on the Paper Monsters tour and it just fizzled out for some reason. Pity. I saw Martin in London on the Counterfeit 2 tour, which is still one of best shows I've ever seen. I've only seen Depeche Mode four times, of which the SOTU Dublin and PTA Manchester (when they were still doing the full-length set) were the best two.

Probably a band called 'Random Access'

When i was 18 and living back in Wales i worked in a pub fro a couple of years part time, every Sunday night they had this Erasure covers band called Random Access.

Must have seen them over 100 times, still have nightmares to this fcukin day

That's amusing, cause I used to work for sword security, and only ever did two jobs...one of which was an Erasure tribute band in the Ambassador...and counting the security on duty that night we had (and I counted them) 15 audience members turn up for the performance. I had never, in my life, seen the Ambassador so empty and I doubt anyone ever will again outside of closing time

Motley, the 10 Bowie shows were as follows...
Slane 1987
Point 1990
Point 1990
Point 1995
Olympia Theatre 1997
Olympia Theatre 1997
Roseland Ballroom (NY) 2002
M.E.N Manchester 2003
Point 2003
Point 2003

Impossible to say which was my favourite, although seeing him in the Olympia was special.

Wow, fantastic, some great memories there for sure

At least we'll always have the Reality Tour DVD

I recently got an original, 1972, Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust on Vinyl at a market over the weekend. Turns out it might be worth something because it's pre mainman contract and has the original black and white lyric sleeve. I only paid 50p for it!

poundhound

Nice one. I have "Ziggy Stardust", "Aladdin Sane" and "Diamond Dogs" on 12inch picture disk. I wont be parting with them.

By the way, Ive also seen Motley Crue at Donington 1991.

Cool. I seen them earlier this year at Sonisphere. Waited literally a decade or more for that, and was glad it was the original founding members, I'd of been gutted otherwise.

Lamb_of_God

Anyone know if Lamb of god will be playing any where in ireland(prefferably dublin) any time soon(or even later)

I've seen metallica three times, download(ireland), with slipknot and when they p[layed with tenacious d. first time was class, second even better, when they played with the D though i was pretty dissappointed!!

They start work on the new album in Febuary so I'd safely say they'll play sometime in 2011. Hope that helps!

That doesn't surprise me. I would wonder if you will look back in 10 years and still be a fan? I'm not having a go I'm just curious as a lot of Prodigy fans I meet seem to be in their late teens and have liked the band since they were 13 and I can't seem to find anyone who critically appreciated their music well into their late 20's and early 30's

Dicksboro_man

only started listening to the prodigy about a year and a half ago, saw em only twice though =/ the oxegen gig was way better than the o2 one though..mindfields made my summer im 18. wont miss em for anything now. when they're touring with their next album gonna go to both, belfast and dublin gigs =P

I'd say i will because when the fat of the land was released in 1997 my dad got it, so was listening to them since i was very young, and still not bored of them. They're the only band where i have every single album, including remix albums and stuff. Except invaders must die :P only time will tell if i'm still listening to them when i'm 30! Or if they're even still going :eek:

penexpers

Radiohead - 10 times
2000 - Punchestown
2001 x 3 - Oxford, Belfast, Stockholm
2003 x 3 - Olympia, Eurockeennes (sp?), Dublin

2008 - Dublin

Sigur Ros - 4 times
2001 x 2- Dublin, Oxford (with Radiohead)
2003 - Lyon

I've seen a ton of smaller acts (Autechre, Plaid, Squarepusher, Venetian Snares etc..) a fair few times but my memory is quite hazy on the exact number of times.
