This is a topic for you Music Lovers to tell us what live bands or concerts you have attended over the years. Feel free to add as much as you want or in snippets.
Some bands/performers in my opinion are great live playing bands while others can't reproduce what we hear on a CD what did you think of your live Concerts?
U2 - X2 both times in Cork excellent live band and fantastic light shows they had. First time was in 1987 where UB40 were the back up band and where my like for UB40 began.
Michael Jackson - 1988 Cork. Without a shadow of doubt still has to be one of the best performers live and knew exactly how to give the crowd their money's worth.
UB40 - on many occasions and in various countries, Very good live for many years and I was lucky to be invited back for a drink with the band, I have since stopped going to thier concerts since three of the band left and set up another UB40.
Jimmy Cliff - Oxegen music festival along with Many other bands such as the Black eyed Peas, The kings of Leon, The Cure. Jimmy Cliff being my main attraction.
Oasis - Pairc Ui Chaoimh 1996 fantastic gig, always felt that Noel and Liam would kick off while on Stage though.
Robbie Williams - 1999 Slane Castle. Can sing quiet well but lacked a little entertainment with the crowd. Felt he wasn't at 100% for the live concert.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers x2, Slane Castle and the Phoenix Park - Dublin. Both times i came away feeling disappointed they were not a great band to watch live.
Madonna - 2012 Slane Castle, Co. Meath. I enjoyed watching the queen of pop for the first and only time.
Elton John - 2013 live at the Marquee, Cork. Very good performer and actually talks to the crowd a lot in between songs.
Bruce Springsteen - 2013 Cork. The Boss, can certainly still perform well. A true Legend of the music scene.
There were Many many other bands I have seen while I worked for a Music events company over the years some are more modern bands like Greenday, Coldplay, The foo Fighters and so on the list is long so i won't bore you with the details.
Now it's over to you guys - Enjoy
