Outstanding show: Pulp at the Leeds Festival 2002. I wasn't a fan til I saw them live.
lol!! chris wolstenholme had injured his wrist just before V so they had a stand in bassist! You cant judge that as seeing muse live at all, it;s very different for a band to play without their bassist.
They play their songs to perfection live and have tons of energy on stage...You may not like the band but they are deff not shit live. Bet u were at V too eh. :wave: in that case you havent seen muse
Seeing a band without one of their members is bound to screw over how they play ...would ure metallica gig have been as good without kirk hammet?
Now The Prodigy, that really will blow you away.
Yes they played their songs perfectly and yes they played with lots of energy. However, their songs are shit to start with. You can have all the energy in the world but at the end of the day, you can't polish a turd. I bet U2 and Coldplay play perfectly and with tons of energy but I wouldn't go and see them because they're shit anyway.
No I did not see them at V. I saw them at Reading a few years ago, think it was 2002. I have never ever been to the V Festival.
I have no idea. He was there as were James, Rob and Lars and it fucking spanked.
I loved that show, the best thing was that they play a different version of Common People live and no bugger knew what it was
Muse are quite good, but they're not the best band ever. I enjoyed their Leeds 2002 set, they put on a good show, they're quite talented, I like their albums. I wouldn't crawl over broken glass to see them though; Ash, Pulp, NOFX, Foo Fighters, and ESP all did better sets than Muse at Leeds 2002. And bands like the Arcade Fire do better songs.
I saw Franz Ferdinand last night, they were good and put on a really good show. The set list could have been better though.
GWAR was definately the most entertaining live show i've seen.
green day's show is good, but its so bloody repetitive its annoying, i don't think they've changed their act in 5 or 6 years. with heeeeeyyyy-oh's and onstage band and giving away guitars etc. gets stale after a few times
Well. How owned.
And to the Above, GWAR are quite fucking awesome. Seen recordings of them live... I want to now!
And at least their trying to do something different and original
That version of Common People was fucking amazing. It just sort of dawned on people what song it was one by one. It really was one of the highlights of the festival, much better than The Strokes a bit later on.
Muse, Foo Fighters, Electric Soft Parade and Mercury Rev did play good sets and The Music on the Carling Stage before GnR really was a great gig too.
I didn't see Ash but I did see them the year before and they were suprisingly good.
3 DAYS TO GO!!
Were Editors and The Rakes any good live too?
Hell yes, I was at the very same gig and it was amazing. That's been my best gig so far. Loved it, such an atmosphere as well as a brilliant performance.
Skin and White Stripes...
Both rock.
Festivals quite often aren't representative of how good a band is. Weezer were a bit poo at Leeds 02, because they were on in the middle of the day, but at Manc Apollo they were amazing.
The Rakes weren't owt special, the Editors were quite good.
The only disappointment was that I don't think FF had the set list in the best order.
It started raining so I didn't even bother staying for the Strokes. I went back to the tent and had a toke and a shag:p
Pulp threw a lot of people in that set, especially with Common People. I'd heard it before online and knew it, you could tell only the real Pulp fans did. Ending on Sunrise, which is my favourite Pulp song ever, was great.
I didn't think Mercury Rev were that good, they were a bit lost on the main stage. They played well, but they'd have been much better in the tent.
yeh how damn owned i got he stated his opinion hard at me.
This Fire was quite good to end on, I just think the peak of the performance was Take Me Out, and it kinda tailed off from there. I don't think Jacqueline in the encore was the smartest of moves, either.
They were very good though. And so was the scenery:D
Alabama 3
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Test Department
The Ludes
Yup. Don't mess with the big boys.
I saw Editors in July and thought they were fantastic
I saw them over the summer on Clapham common, they ruined a wonderful day of bands for me, I don't have a clue why they were high on the bill either! Just my opinion though, of course.
I abolutely love the album, I've played it to death! I could have seen them twice in July at the T-Mobile street gigs, but missed out both times..
Will get to see them now though!
One of my fave bands but i didnt rate their live show, saying that- ive only seen them at a festival.
Green Day, Foo Fighters, Kaiser Chiefs, Mylo were all great.
Seen The Rakes back in july and thought they were fairly good.
Reading through this thread im thinking the Noise and Confusion concert is going to be good- Oasis, Foo's, The Coral, Razorlight + others. Damn tickets better hurry up!
What bands did you rate then?
The levellers are wicked live - it was the first big gig i was ever allowed to go to with out a responsible adult present (I was about 15 ) and i got to go with all my friends which was really cool - though we missed the last train home and my dad had to drive all the way up to the centre of london to take us home because he didnt' belive in night busses - OMG i can't belive it was 13 years ago.
Best bands i've seen recently are GLC who were wicked and the paddingtons who i saw on monday.
That day? British sea power and Yeti were brilliant.
