That I have seen:
1) Rush (always great - I've seen them too many times to even count at this point)
2) Springsteen - (last March in Dallas during the weekend of the college basketball Final Four tournament. Weather was expected to be terrible and only about 10K showed up for a free show - we showed up less than an hour before he took the stage and got to watch from only about 50 feet away from the Boss)
3) Radiohead (seen them 3X from Bends through In Rainbows, always great even through all the evolution of their sound)
4) Kiss (not a big fan of their studio work, but they put on a hell of a show)
5) System of a Down (not a fan of their politics, but I saw them at Ozzfest and was blown away)
6) The Smashing Pumpkins (would be even higher if I only counted their best shows, but they were very hit and miss as a live act, depending on the night/tour. I last saw Billy Corgan + a random group of people calling themselves SP about 5 years ago and it sadly sucked donkey balls)
7) Aerosmith
8) Cheap Trick (2X including this past summer-still very good)
9) Depeche Mode
10) Crowded House (wish I could have seen Split Enz but I don't think they ever toured USA) |  |

Sparks were great live,saw them at the top rank
10 cc @ Townhill college around 71/72
Worst I have seen Hawkwind at the rank ,boring or what,also Man at Cardiff castle ,they were one of the support acts,timer went round that they were offered money to finish their set early,everybody soaked to the skin,and they played 2 songs,or was it 1 ,all I know they were in the wrong place at the wrong time
Damn IPad ,auto correct ,should have been "rumour " | | | |

Were you the one who asked me if I liked them after my very first thread on this board a few weeks ago? Sorry never replied - it was ironic that I had just seen them for very cheap (no pun intended) just this past July at a festival just a couple miles from my house. | |

Swans / football link now! 
I ended up in a pub in Holborn, London, the night of the Stoke game. Funny how you can jump on a train and end up in a different part of the country when The Swans go and do something special ... my train ticket was a return to Swansea!
Saw The Banshees around then. Siouxsie Sioux signed my jacket. Well chuffed! | |
