Life's too short too fuck about with this. So I will give you a nice little run down of the first and last gigs I went too.

 

First was Sisters of Mercy at Brixton acadamy about 20 years ago and last was Aphex Twin at Matter O2.

Hey now, hey now now,

 

 

sing this corrosion to me

 

[Guest Z_B_Z]

im not going to list them all, but the best concerts ive ever been to are - gybe, devendra banhart/the angels of light (very sparsely attended. before banhart got famous), tindersticks, acid mothers temple/wolf eyes, broadcast, manitoba/four tet/prefuse 73/amon tobin, wolf eyes/sonic youth, sonic youth/flaming lips.

[Braintree]

I work as an audio engineer. I've been to hundreds.

any shows in particular you recall as being exceptional stage performance wise?

 

Medeski Martin and Wood back in '03 was probably the best show I've ever been to. The first time I saw Bile, I thought my heart was going to explode from the sub woofer. I saw Múm on their first tour, and that was really good. I saw them again a few months ago, and while their stage presence has gotten a lot better, I think there's an innocent factor I was attracted to back in the day that they don't have anymore. It was a little more intimate, and they barely spoke English.

acid mothers temple never fail to bring a hell of a live show.

[Tauhid]

Yeah it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. Can't wait to see them again. They played this one song last timed that started off completely acoustic, sounded almost Radiohead-ish, and then Kawabata and the synth player joined in eventually. My friend and I tried going through some of their albums to find it. So far it seems live only, which is pretty frustrating.

[Guest Z_B_Z]

their live version of 'pink lady lemonade' completely blew me away last time i saw them. the energy they have is amazing

 

im going to be seeing them again myself pretty soon. itll be the 4th time
