  • Technorati
  • Rollercoaster Tour (UK) - Blur opening, Dinosaur Jr, J&MC and My Bloody Valentine to finish. Pretty hard to top.
  • Tribal Gathering (UK) featuring Leftfield & the Mondays
  • NYE at Ally Pally (UK) Orbital play in the chimes and then the Chemical Brothers in the basement
  • Dinosaur Jr (US) on Sunset Boulevard supported by Hole. Opening for both was a little band by the name of Nirvana
  • Suede (UK) Last ever gig at the Astoria in '03
  • Fugazi (US) Miami Beach skate thrash fear fest for this 17 year old back then
  • Public Enemy (UK) Reading Festival. Night falls, sun sets, rain drops, fun begins...
  • The Libertines (UK) Infamous Town and Country Club gig in Kentish Town and I couldn't find a mate who wanted my two spare tickets! Utterly outstanding performance.
  • Tricky (UK) - Astoria. Spends the whole gig with his back to the audience blowing smoke. Beautiful music.
  • Half Man Half Biscuit (UK) - Subterrania. The liveliest mosh pit ever.
