    In some chronological order...

    Frankie goes to Hollywood - RDS Simmonscourt 1985 - mainly cos it was my first and I was hooked on live music from that day.
    BB King - National Stadium 1989 - Great gig in it's own right, up close with the man himself, but Bono and the Edge appearance helped...
    Nirvana - The Point, 1992 - Scored 8 freebies and was very popular... great day
    The Stunning - Olympia 1993 - part of their farewell tour, great night in the best venue in Dublin
    Neil Young - Slane 1993 - the only Slane trip I truly enjoyed - Pearl Jam (and Van M and Booker T & the MG's?) adding to the day
    Oasis - Tivoli, 1994 - just on the cusp on being huge, last chance to see them up close and personal
    Arthur Lee and Love - Forever changes tour- The Ambassador, 2002 - never thought I'd get a chance to see them, did not dissapoint
    Villagers - Vicar St, 2013 - 3 Gigs in one - Solo, Band and Orchestra...

    Special mention for Elec Picnic 2013 - introduced the eldest to live music in style, bringing the whole gang this year!

    Surely the question, "whats the best gig you've ever been to" merits a one gig answer?

    +2. My buddy just called me and insisted I book tickets. I had no idea who Arthur was at the time. Amazing and one I'll remember for many years.

    Difficult to chose. So many great nights for so many reasons.

    Rammstein- The O2 2012. Excellent atmosphere, the entire crowd was deliriously excited to finally see Rammstein play Ireland. A great band touring their greatest hits. Amazing stage show, my words can't do justice.
    Abiding memory is the streams of people forced back from the front of the crowd after the first rush of pyros. They looked shell shocked, but in a good way, if that's possible. They weren't saying much but the scorched far away look in their eyes said it all really

    Speaking of Green Day, the Green Day show in 2000, the point. That was something special. Two months after Warning was released and was a show packed full of all the old (the good pre guyliner nonsense) stuff. The Bouncing souls supported them too and the crowd was amazing. We were right at the very front centre for the entire night. That was close enough to catch Mike Dirnts plec, I have it in a little frame all these years, its cool because its a custom Dunlop, so it has Dirnts head and little converse runners on the turtle and dumpunk instead of dunlop.



    I see Guns and roses at Slane mentioned a lot too but what I remember most was the wait for them to show up. It was ridiculous, so ridiculous everyone was preparing to go home and grumbling to themselves.
