WHATS THE BEST BAND .. ARTIST YOU HAVE EVER SEEN LIVE

God that's a hard one I've seen so many amazing bands over the years but Alex Harvey at the mayfair in newcastle in the early 80's , the cramps at the same venue in '86 & recently a drumming band from africa & europe called Nihloxtica in newcastle too all deserve a mention.
 
Sabbath Birmingham Odeon in 75 - my first gig.
Yes at bingley Hall 1977. Pink Floyd that March
Sex pistols Newport same year
Ditto Stiffs tour. Ian Dury was magnificent.

77 was an amazing year.

Motorhead Lancaster 79

First Womad. 1982. Gabriel was ok but echo and the bunny men backed by the drummers of Burundi unforgettable .
More recently Foo Fighters, Green Day, Bush, and many a Monsters of Rock/Download!
 
It was back in 1979 on a hunting trip to Montana. After a week backpacking in the mountains, my buddy and I went in to the town of West Yellowstone to resupply. There was a band playing that night at the Stagecoach Inn, so Del and I got a motel, cleaned up, and had a good meal before the event. I was absolutely amazed by how talented the " John Colter Band " was !

During the intermission, we were approached by a couple of local girls on the prowl who noticed the California licence plate on my camper van, and wanted us to meet up later. Del and I looked at each other and thought, uh uh, No Way ! 😬 Standing in the foyer, drinks in hand, we saw this guy walk into the ladies room 🙄. There was a woman's loud voice, obviously annoyed, using a few choice words not worthy of mentioning.

The next morning, Del and I went for breakfast and then over to the Sporting Goods store to get some information and bait for fishing. The guy behind the counter was the same one who walked into the ladies room the night before. When asked about it, laughing he said, .......... " We get a lot of drunk tourists. Sometimes I get lucky. "

Didn't bag a bighorn sheep on the hunt, but had a memorable time for sure; and the " John Colter Band " was fantastic, to say the least. :)
