a couple of cute things i forgot at first:

Duran Duran (Tallinn, 2001)
VNV Nation (M'era Luna, 2002)

and quite hazy but generally good memories about Public Image Limited in 1988 (Rock Summer, Tallinn).

Best - Alabama 3, York Fibbers (Sorry, "Barfly":o - I'll never get used to that), Couple of weeks ago.

Worst - Marilyn Manson, Nottingham Roack City, 97 - As soon as the band came on thecrowd turned into a fight. One big fight.

Saw these the other week too...in Sheffield and I agree they were FANTASTIC. Realy crowd pleasers...with an albino John Cooper Clarke on keyboards too! Not convinced about the gratuitious use of buxom brunette in pvc nurse's outfit though!!

Can't think of any worst...OH I CAN.....Fun Loving Criminals at Doncaster Dome three or four years ago - the sound was diabolical and I don't think Huey knew I was there and therefore didn't try very hard
