10 x 10 – Best Gigs of the decade…
Well, everyone is doing it – so I have to join in – I’m finishing the decade with 10 top ten lists – today, I’m reminiscing on the best gigs I saw during the decade:
- Ian Brown @ Reading – October 2007
- Elbow @ Porchester Hall, London – February 2008 (the first airing of tracks from The Seldom Seen Kid)
- The Dears @ Astoria – July 2005 (honourable mention to The Dears at the Electric Ballroom in 2004)
- Morrissey @ the Roundhouse – January 2008
- The Editors @ Showbox in Seattle – February 2008 (honourable mention to Brixton Academy, but this was a small venue and great sound)
- Leonard Cohen @ O2 London – July 2008 (a lifetime ambition fulfilled)
- Damien Rice @ Reading – July 2007 (but not at Brixton a year earlier)
- Muse @ Wembley – June 2007 (Crap seats – venue too big, but great show)
- Depeche Mode @ Wembley – April 2006
- Stephen Fretwell @ London – September 2005 (with Liam Frost in support)
(in no particular order)
