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?

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

1987. Rush at Birmingham NEC. They recorded that concert and released it as A Show of Hands.

Maybe I should have added a :) -- I was just trying to be cute by making his prediction come true immediately.

I didn't :) I would be glad to support you when you do, though.

That's pretty cool. I went to the In Flames burger restaurant in Gothenburg. Best burger EVER. It's called 2112
Well that's interesting. 2112 is NOT the best burger place in town. :) And I thought you Aussies took your barbie more serious than us!

Springsteen in Paris in 1988; it was the time that he began a relationship with backup singer Patti Scialfa and they where so in love that we felt it also in the audience. Tunnel of Love Express Tour - Wikipedia[^]

Crash Worship at a small venue in Los Angeles, circa 1995. A real, honest-to-god experience. Not a single bit of chemistry or herbs in my system, but high as a kite on the experience. U2 at the Meadowlands Arena in NJ, circa 1986. Bono knows how to work an audience!

Mary Chapin Carpenter re-wrote several of her iconic songs with orchestral music. Saw her sing them with the Seattle Symphony. Hands down the most mesmerizing musical experience of my life.
