Hmmm...
Anyone remember Cecil? Saw them a couple of times: once at the Adelphi in Hull. Within the first half of the opening number, the monitors had been kicked across the room. The singer was in the middle of the floor screaming at people. People backed away.

He saw me and approached. I was convinced he was going to kill me. Instead, he kissed me on the forehead and gave me a pint of Guinness that he had managed not to spill.

I pretended to like Guinness.

That was good. As were REM in Cardiff, and Public Enemy in Manchester a couple of months ago. dEUS can also put on a good show. Drugstore were good, as were Jesus Jones and 808 State. But the best I've seen probably has to be Nick Cave a couple of years ago. Stunning.

Worst? Hmmm. Can't think of any really bad ones. Neubauten a couple of months ago were good, but not as blistering as I'd wanted them to be (especially given that they had a jet engine on stage with them). John Cale was... old. Ooooh - Oasis, summer '96, and U2, summer '97. Both a bit pointless.

EDIT: Oh, yeah: I went to V a couple of years ago specifically to see the Pixies. Not all they could've been, to be honest...
