shockedsoshocked

First: Lightening Seeds
Last: Akira The Don
Best: Sparks
Worst: Arctic Monkeys (to clarify, they turned up when they'd just started out at a regular indie night in town with a bus loads of fans from down their way. They were shit, the Clash tribute band on before them were better. Just shows what hype and a semi-decent producer can do)
Next: The Holdsteady

TommyEss

1st - Bush, Nottingham Rock City
Last - Biffy Clyro, Melbourne Hi-Fi
Best - The Coral, Liverpool Academy
Worst - The Cooper Temple Clause, Shepherds Bush Empire (but only because they announced their split about two days later - bittersweet)
Real Worst - The Killers, V Festival - Just the worst sound quality, and a crowd full of dicks
Next - Dunno - It's a long way for guys to come out and play, and the music scene here's quite a bit behind - it's all Bon Jovi on the radio, and the home grown bands are meh like Cold Chisel, Powderfinger, Silver Chair - no one to right home about.

best - Bowie
worst - Uriah Heep

pb21

First – Foo Fighters – Brixton 2000

Last – Godspeed You! Black Emperor – Butlins 2010

Best – Really can’t decide. First gig was mind blowing. Seeing Pearl Jam @ Reading festival in 2006 after waiting six years was special. Some Sea Power gigs have been mental and/or weird (Czech Embassy gig for instance!) GY!BE were immense and encompassing. One of those I guess!

Worst – Haven’t seen any bad ones. Can’t remember my worst.

Next – British Sea Power - Brighton

I keep reading the title as "Girls - 1st, last, best, worst, next", which would be a little different, and less appropriate....
