Best gig ever?
-
I am 50 years old. I blew my knees out years ago, walking through San Francisco. This year I did a big trip, I did Wacken Open Air, Brutal Assault and Sabaton Open Air. Afterwards, we rushed to Norway and saw Rammstein. I did all this thinking it's my last chance to physically be able to survive weeks in tents. Probably true. Rammstein in Oslo was far and away the best gig i have ever seen. Every 2 seconds something blew up, or there were lights or smoke. I can't imagine they'd ever bring all that gear to Australia if they tour, so I was very glad to get to see them in Europe What was your best gig ever?
1987. Rush at Birmingham NEC. They recorded that concert and released it as A Show of Hands.

That's pretty cool. I went to the In Flames burger restaurant in Gothenburg. Best burger EVER. It's called 2112

I was going to cite a Rush show also. For me it was on their tour for 2112. The "A Farewell To Kings" tour show was really good too.

That Guru's Jazzmattaz / Buckshot LeFonque night in Vienne 1995. Priceless

Cool. Never heard of him :) I've heard of Bucks Fizz?

Well, that's very cool. You know they were too stone to sing 'in the garden of eden'?
They sang very good that evening on the other hand I couldn't have sung anything! :)

Never heard of Bucks Fizz either, but after searching for it, it may not have anything in common :) Buckshot LeFonque (band name) was an attempt by Branford Marsalis to mix jazz, soul, rock & hip-hop musics alltogether.

OK, that sounds very cool.

I started out coding, eventually had juniors join me, but from scratch, in VB6 (C# was not yet released), on South Africa's first online mortgage origination and real estate listing system. It became so successful that it was investigate by our Competition Commission as the was possible collusion with all the big banks to use only my system. It was also my very first paid gig, and when I finished there, some two years later, I started work at bank, on their application that receives mortgage applications from my old system. Then I rewrote the app from VB6 into C#.

Even though I know I'm going to be flamed for this, one of the most memorable gigs was Nickelback, 2008 at RDS Simmonscourt, Dublin. Basically a mid-size tent on a parking lot, wonderful crowd, beer, and excellent rock.

Motorhead at the Odeon, Hammersmith, on the Bomber tour was pretty "Whoah!". The lighting rig, shaped like a WWII bomber, looked terrific. When they played Bomber and the rig started diving, banking and turning, you just thought, "oh, yes!". Then the rig's nose landed, Lemmy climbed into it, and it started climbing and flying again while Lemmy continued paying the bass, curly cable hanging down to his amps. Health and Safety? Ha!.

Why would anyone want to flame you for expressing what you like? :)

Because it doesn't align exactly with my own likes, and therefore his opinion is invalid... is this your first time on the internet? ;P
