This year I'm gonna write down all the gigs I go to.....I'm crap at remembering stuff.
Killing Joke @ Camden Barfly was rather special due to titchy venue.
Near Meth whatsit was memorable for a whole heap of reasons - nightmare 6 and a half hour journey (which should have taken 1 and a half) being hotter than I have EVER been at a gig before and I've been to some roasters! Having Johnny collapse slowly down my back was interesting also.
Pixies - for obvious reasons
NIN - for sheer giddyness on my part
Kills - new band to me and a very mesmeric dou they are
Be Your Own Pet - 17 year old Yanks who know what its all about.
Him
http://www.pbase.com/gaztop/image/39015087 on several occassions at the beginning of the year .He's ALWAYS memorable and one of the best inbetween tracks performer EVER
Was the NME tour with Killers/Bloc Party/Kaiser Chiefs and thingy, this year? Most memorable due to watching Killers go from a band playing to no more than 80 people in Lincoln to fully fledged STARS. Awwww it was like watching yer kids ride a two wheeled bike without stabilizers.
Plus many more - it's not often I don't like a gig, there's usually something that redeems a poor gig i.e. friends, support bands
