What has been the best live band or artist you have seen?

For me it would be Robbie Williams at MK Bowl in september 2006.

    It's a tough choice between Skin (Manchester academy in 2006, I think) or Björk in Manchester Apollo earlier this month.

    Both gigs were amazing. Skin shoved her crotch in my face and Björk looked and smiled at me (I did a little wee when she done that!)

    Other memorable gigs have been CSS in Manchester Academy and Maximo Park in Middlesbrough town hall.

    And yet I know two people who went to that gig and said it was absolute crap - just Bono using the stage as a place to witter on about his political beliefs, and the rest of the band to go through the motions. Not a patch on the U2 of the late eighties and throughout the nineties.
