Heartland

but not the obvious ones from members of a Sisters Of Mercy forum, OK?

Me - Terence Trent D'Arby at Brixton in about 1997. Absolutely brilliant, he was at his height and I was the only goth in the village

Steve Earle and the Dukes - Barrowlands - 93 ish...

Elvis Costello, also Barrowlands about the same time when the Attractions were back on board....

In 1997? Surely some mistake. His one decent album came out in 1987

Frank Sidebottom - Reading Festival 91. What a stonker.

oops, that's what I meant. 4 pints of Fosters and I'm anyone's, still a great gig though!

Robbie Williams concert last summer.
Honestly. And I'm not at all into him, his music or what he represents.
I was back then assistant to the german press manager of RW. , so I was standing next to the Scorpions and chancellor Schröders wife & kids in the super-VIP-row right in front of the stage. Actually I was standing with the back to the stage as I was so amazed by the 70.000 secretaries screaming his songs with one voice. All that love & longing towards the stage. Quite impressing. (I still walked off after three songs. *shrug*.)

P.S. Pretty far away from a predictable sister-fan-concert, huh?

Immortal and Primordial at Camden Underworld 2000 ish
Arcturus at the Inferno Festival Camden Underworld January 2005

and in the future.....Arcturus at Camden Underworld (again) and Nottingham Rock City
(the days before Black Oktober - what a weekend! )

The Damned. Unbelievable. My first proper, punk/goth filled, gig.

Ask me again after Motörhead play in November though.

The Peat Bog Faeries,they really got the crowd going at the Beladrum fest' the other week,ok,everyone was pished,but they were good.

AC/DC Glasgow Apollo 1982 or Alice Cooper Barrowlands 2001, just can't make up my mind.


Pat

Half Man Half Biscuit - Liverpool Planet X 1990

Waited 5 years for this band to re-form then they played a blinding set to a sell out crowd. Now seen them about 30 times...Birkenheads finest.

or

Rosetta Stone - Hare & Hounds Brighton 1991

Final date of the tour finds Rosetta playing above a small pub in Brighton. A complete sell-out with loads of mainland goths in attendance. The gig the night before at Runcorn was great as well.

David Bowie, Edinburgh 1983. My childhood fantasy

Hmmm....

I think the coolest thing I have ever seen is Daan acoustic at De Nachten this year... You don't know him anyway

Err, and this completely disturbed gig of Mauro Pawloski in a recordstore (Bilbo), think last year or the year before (not that you know him)... He and his guitarist came up with an empty bread sack over the head with the eyes cut out, and just did a bit of crazy stuff with their guitars, highly interesting
And another gig of him (with the Grooms) on Boomtown festival in Ghent...

Can't think of anything you would know though

Man or Astroman? in Cologne a few years ago. Not only that they played their whole set in space suits , they showed a self-made movie before the gig: The whole Star Wars saga (no "episode"-rubbish) impersonated with playmobil figures.

Dead Can Dance - 7/4/2005, never thought I would see them live

&

Christian Death - sometime in the 80's in brum

The Durutti Column @ the Rhâââ Lovely festival in Fernelmont, Belgium in april 2005...

I like Vini's music very much and wanted to see Durutti for years... This year they played here after 22 years!!!

Brilliant

The Rollin' Stones....Voodoo Lounge Tour...JHB...S.A.....1995

Hmmm...rock 'n roll babe!!...(as a goth dressed group)...

Faithless - Rock City bout 1999ish they took us up, shook us around, took us even higher and never ever let us back down.



My fav bands don't count as I always take something magnificent from each gig.

I saw them a few years back at The Garage, rather good they were too.

Favourite recent gig was Arcade Fire at Reading last week. Great gig, great atmosphere.

Favourite gig was watching my mates band play the Marquee in 1996 supporting Die Laughing and 13 Candles, unfortunately they split up soon after that. But if certain members let bygones be bygones they are going to reform for a couple of gigs soon.

Best gig has to be Orbital at Glastonbury 94. Absolutely astounding.

Zodiac Mindwarp/Tigertailz/Robin Black and the Intergalactic Rockstars at the corporation in sheffield.

last year the: 15 years of de heideroosjes selebration gig @ AB in Brussels.
Aroma di amore @ de muziekodroom in Hasselt.
clawfinger @ sint lievens houtem

those are the first to pop into my mind but I have seen so many good gigs and most of them by small lokal bands.

Troissoeur and the Millenniums at the private Virgo festival in my backyard were awesome.

Also the Cold Meat festival with Raison d'Etre and Shinjuku Thief were absolutely great.

As for the oldies: first Cradle of Filth concert in 1993, Tiamat with the 'deeper kind of slumber' tour and Tool in 1993 at Pukkelpop Belgium.

IZ.

I almost forgot
Clawfinger @ Lier in 2003 (I believe it was) they had one of the most amazing support band I have ever seen, and I know I'll never see them again. a small band with the name ...The Avatar

Ah, the man with the worst tattoo in the world

was actually 1989 had to leave NMA halfway through their set. so many people tried to get in the tent that they had to close the outer barriers, the official tape of the gig states 4000 in a 2000 capacity tent.

still remember all the people moshing to the damned before he came on dressed as father christmas

other favs

motorhead @ the lido 1984 coz i was too youny, they were too loud and everybody at school was too excited

and mansun on a secret warmup gig because they didn't know what to expect or how to deal with it when it arrived. stonker

I was at the Edinburgh show on that tour! My very first gig

Sh1t 'cannons' they had then though, they got bigger on the next tour.
