Not really bought enough albums this year to contribute to that thread 1) My Bloody Valentine - RoundHouse Saturday (by a country mile) 2) Robert Forster (Oxford) 3) Wedding Present (George Best - was that this year or last?) | ||

Devo. Just great. Best gig of the year by a country mile! | ||

Hang on Hang on Hang on......... O.k. Devo ties with The reformed Triffids, fronted by Steve Kilbey who "lost his cool" and his voice singing Triffids songs. | ||

C Gull - I think The Wedding Present is probably October 2007...I went to two, but they were mighty fine gigs. The Police - MEN Arena, Manchester (More for the fact I finally got to see them) The Bangles - Liverpool Academy (I'm amazed this made my list, but It was really good; Maybe my 80s revival) Conor Oberst - Manchester Acedemy 2 (Decent set and a good support [Euros Child]) Oh there's too many to list like that, so also Iron & Wine, Camera Obscura, Bon Iver, Robert Forster (Of Course), Noah & The Whale and Fleet Foxes. Cheers Jon | ||

i saw the bangles a couple of years ago john. a little half-heartedly, but it was seriously one of the best gigs i've ever seen. i missed michael, mind. on a similar note - i saw kylie last night for the very first time. again, not much in the way of expectations, but i've been rather giddy all day. i can't believe i left it 20 years! anyway, the charlatans for my gig of the year. | ||

Spence, Magazine at such a small venue would be brilliant, not sure its worth the expense/time from Sunny Widnes though. Cheers Jon | ||

I didn't see many shows this past year but even if I had it would easily be Robert in San Francisco. | ||

Robert at the Opera House. The Saturday night show edged it over the Friday night. |
