    What was the best live band you ever saw?
    Mine was The Stones 2007 in Ullevi Gothenburg. Although this was the third time I saw the Stones live, it was by far the best concert I have ever been to by any band. What was your favourite?



    and in my opinion the best song the Stones ever covered...

    It would be hard for me to pick one as the 'best', Alan ... only because I was fortunate enough to have a job that let me into all the concerts free of charge and I was lucky and saw so many. Pink Floyd, Elton John ... well, they are all fun to attend. Listening via any other medium just can't hold a candle to being there in person and feeling the excitement - and bass - huge grin!

    Musically the best act i saw was Chris Rea ..... but a terrible stage act.
    Out of all the bands i've seen, there's still only one QUO
    Seen them 5 times and still enjoy the evening as much as the first time:

    The olduns are still the best.

    Seen Quo and Smokie a couple of years ago, it was a great evening, first Smokie to warm up the crowd then Quo to keep the party going.

    Mieeow.


    Actually, this band is the best. However I am grinding my own axe, although you can't see me, I am on the left and back a bit.

    We won first prize with this performance as it was a brass band contest.
