- Frustration in Berlin a couple of years ago. Great post punk vibe, as hit and sweaty as it gets. Maybe a bit of recency bias, also I’m seeing them again tomorrow…
- Nitzer Ebb some time at the end of the 90s in London. So much energy, so much MDMA…
- Laibach, again London not sure when but Mina Spilar was still with them, and she is amazing
- Depeche Mode, 2005, Berlin Olympiastadion. Crazy to see a band in the 1933 Olympics stadium, but they were still on good form, albeit without Alan. The sunset was amazing…
But the all round best gig Ive been to: Fad Gadget, London 2002. He died the following day. Oh, and I only realised the following day that a young lady was trying to chat me up. One hell of a night, so much energy for someone about to die.
My reading of the situation is that she suffered severe brain damage. It might be debatable if ‘she’ is even there any more for them to try and kill a third time.
