The Eagles '###### Freezes Over' tour

The Who live at Charlton, which still holds the world record for being the loudest concert ever (true).

[lampard10]

I missed The Pougues in Bremen, Hamburg & Gothenburg. Went there each time. Each time I was too pissed to go. Bit like the film ' Pale Rider'

Jeez...I've missed half my life through booze.

The loudest group i've seen were 'The Buzzcocks' in Canterbury's Marlow Theater

I think that I would have really liked to have been at Woostock. One of the biggest sex drugs and Rock & Roll parties of all time. I would have only have been 12 years old though.

[penzman]

Hendrix and Cat Mother & The All Night News Boys for opening act.

Bjork

Buckwheat Zydeco

Queen

Pink Floyd

Led Zep

Beatles

ELO

Split Enz

Neil Finn (solo)

CCR

[Camelot]

Pink Floyd at the Pulse concert, London 1994.

Not just the music (Dark Side of the Moon) but what a light show!

Also the Newport Jazz Festival 1958, specifically Anita O'Day and Thelonius Monk. It was made into "Jazz on a Summer's Day".

[The Gentleman Scamp]

LIVE AID

Any BECK concert

Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Brayan Ferry and Robbie Williams in Bangkok.

[Boon Mee]

Elvis

I never saw Elvis live and I had the opportunity...

[Girlfrombar]

Metallica in Bangkok 1992

I have remembered a concert that I wish I had been there. It was televised so I watched a bit on the box, but surely not the same. It was the opening of the New Coventry Cathederal, when Tangerine Dream played their Richochet Album. I saw them do it later in Bremen, but I would imagine live in the magnificant accoustical setting of the Cathederal was a feast on the ears.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Have you got a date for this concert?

Because I think you may be just confusing a special concert with the opening of the cathedral.

I was at the opening of the cathedral (nowhere near HMQ who was also there) but I don't remember the Dream.

Without checking - but remembering I was about 14 or 15 at the time - puts the opening at 1963-4.

Doesn't this pre-date the Tangerine Dream?

[kayo]

Dylan

Hendrix

Doors

Led Zep

The Band

My additions,

Jeff Buckley

Pink Floyd (early days, or well, any days)

Cream

Derek and the DOmino´s

Buddy Guy

Stevie Ray Vaughn

The concert date was 04/10/1975 and it was after they did something to the Cathederal,can't remember what, might have been something to do with the acoustics though. Sorry, I should have said re-opened.They had played in York Minster before that. What I have just realised looking it up is that BBC broadcast the concert about 10 months after the event.
