Coincided with the Madchester scene, which was great fun. Saw all the usual suspects, Mondays, Roses, Inspirals, etc loads, and had a blast. Prob saw the Wedding Present the most though.

I cant remember now, but mid 90's I would guess. Went year after year for quite some time.
Stopped when it got too crowded. Miss it though.

Plus playing CBGB's and the St Mark's Poetry Project marathon (with Philip Glass, Patti Smith and tons of other legends) are my favorite shows I've played with various projects

As a teenager, I stole one of his lines, scratched it onto the peel of a banana with a needle, and offered it as a Valentine's gift to my sweetheart.

I have quite eclectic tastes... And one week I saw Coldplay and al green in the same few days. Al green left Coldplay for dead with old school charm and the experience of 40yrs performing.
Othe good concerts were madonna (yes really!) and Kate bush. Both were like going to a west end theatre production. Wu tang clan in the early days were pretty mental too.
Foo figters, Paul Simon / sting and David gray lined up already for 2015.

Still have the collection of limited singles that they did one year each month. Finally saw them in London about 7 yrs ago... Weren't quite as good as I had hoped. I have quite eclectic tastes...

They never were the same after Grapper left, if you ask me. Saw them in September and it was great to hear some of the classics again.
Best bands I've seen live back in the day would be Rage Against The Machine, Beastie Boys and Orbital, all at Glastonbury. More recently I've loved seeing Unknown Mortal Orchestra, White Denim, Drenge and Future Islands.
I'm a Wednesday fan, so events of the sporting variety have been limited.
Rumbelows Cup Final 1991
FA Cup Semi-Final 1993
Wednesday 6 L**ds 0 2014 are up there.

My german fellows winning the world cup in '94 and 2014. And the European Championship in 1980 and 1996. :-)
Hard to pick the gigs, a couple of memorable ones:
Sisters of Mercy back in '88 or so
Miles Davis playing at Hohentwiel Festival in 1989
Bowie, Pixies and Midnight Oil at Schuettorf open Air 1990 ( was lucky to get backstage tix and managed to 'meet' Bowie )
Keith Jarrett, Jack deJohnette and Gary Peacock at Paris
Underworld at Roundhouse 2007
Depeche Mode at Royal Albert Hall
Jeff Mills at Tresor Berlin
and some very memorable events with Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer and Chris Liebing.

U2 timed their PopMart world tour to end in JHB onWorld Human Rights Day,now a public holiday in SA.
i queued for 12 hours to buy so called Golden tickets which gave us a small cordoned off area right at the front.The show was amazing but, and I swear this is true, Bono kept looking at my wife which was the weirdest feeling cos he was doing it during one of their classic tracks which I had always liked, adding to the bizarreness!
My first concert was the first ever Monsters of Rock at Donnington with Rainbow, Saxon, The Scorpions, Judas Priest etc. Second was AC/DC's Back in Black tour (80?) at the manchester Apollo . My ears rang in class for 2 days afterwards, it was so loud.A real badge of honour back then, when your 15.
