I’ll go first.
Stiff Little Fingers Cardiff Top Rank 1979, U2 supported them, my mate threw a full plastic pint at Bono and said ‘ pile of shit won’t see them again’
Ramones 1986 Hammersmith. Pure exhilaration. Joey Ramone quote ‘ This is ten years of punk rock, hey ho let’s go’
Marc Almomd, Bristol Colston Hall, yes Colston Hall. 2015. Mesmerising, totally LIVE, fantastic stage show. Blokes a genius.
There are so many more, so what are yours ?

Not sure if it counts as a gig but 2 Cellos Eastnor Castle, Ledbury June 2017 if you have not seen them outstanding. Check out Thunderstruck 2Cellos on Youtube.

The Mars Volta, Manchester Apollo 2008. Singer pulled a bunch of us onstage as he lamented the distance between us and them . Grabbed my mate by the hand, and I came next. We all sat there and rocked out to a 12-minute epic. Organisers threatened to pull gig so after the song we all shook hands and jumped off the stage. Favourite band at the time too.
Devin Townsend, Salisbury Cathedral, 2015. Acoustic performance. Had some cracking Icelandic pale ale (Einstok) before the gig with the ex. At the end, he jumped off the stage and had a chat with everyone, one by one. Brilliantly personal gig. He mentioned Wales, when he visited Folly Farm. Quite surreal.
Bulford Army Barracks, 2017. My band. Played for the sappers for their summer party. Free booze everywhere. Caskets of ale, bottles of wine, the finest spirits. Cracking gig; I can't really remember the 2nd set. Pulled some Brazilian sort and did the deed next to my comatose bassist. Van broke down on the way back home. Magic. |  | | |
