    Rammstein are the best I have seen (3 times). They are incredible.
    After that Divinyls, AC/DC, Iron Maiden.

    Been to quite a few live performances over the years, and difficult to pick a favourite, but some of the most enjoyable would have to have been:
    • David Bowie (Christchurch NZ late '70s)
    • Tommy Emanuel (Three Weeds hotel late '80s)
    • DIG - Directions in Groove (Basement, Circular Quay, probably late 80s)
    • Eartha Kitt, despite being in her 60s at the time (late 80s)
    • Tina Turner
    • Stephane Grappelli (in his 80s and still amazing)
    • John Williams
    • Ike Isaacs, Ian Date, and George Washingmachine @ Manly Jazz Festival
    • Vince Jones
    The loudest would have to have been Cheap Trick. My ears are still ringing 30+ years later!

    Ah yes, The Basement. I used to be a semi regular there when Galapagos Duck were in residence. Great jazz.

    Saw The Duck heaps of times. Kerry Biddell was great too, a regular on Monday nights from memory.

    DIG was the only act I ever saw there though that had everyone at the front tables up and grooving in the aisles.

    Metallica at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando 2003 was pretty good, when they started playing their old good songs again.

    Exactly how I felt when I saw Guetta "live" a few years ago on the Goldie. Swear he just played his Best Of. His other skill is amping up the drunken crowd.

    I'll second someone's previous mention of RHCP in Sydney, incredible performance.

    Seeing High On Fire at Max Watts on Friday. Keen as mustard, have seen them three times and they always put on a great show.

    I want to go and see Clutch as well, if I can afford it. Such a great band. Straight ahead, no apologies rock n roll. Had a listen to their new album last night and it was all killer, no filler, as I've come to expect from them.

    But the big one, the one I'm really looking forward to, is Radio Birdman in June, again at Max Watts. Sh__ty venue, but it's Radio Birdman.

    Probably The Cure in 1992, not only was it incredible but also my first concert.

    I also loved Kasabian, Evanescence, Band of Horses, Muse, System of a Down, The Butterfly Effect (Saw these guys about 20 times, Working the the music industry for 12 years did have some benefits). I also loved seeing the Pumpkins at the big day out when I was young.

    Also I loved seeing Kenny Rogers and also Paloma Faith but lets keep that quiet as it doesn't quite fit with my usual style of music ;).

    The absolute worst one I have been to (Which I actually paid for) was Oasis, they were so messed up on drugs that they couldn't even sing properly, Champagne Supernova became chamane suernoa and he kept disappearing every 2 songs, (probably for another line). That was the first gift I bought for my now wife, I was bloody furious lol.

    We may get a chance to see Mariah Carrey in Australia abit more often I think.

    Birds of Tokyo was pretty good live and I think they are even better live then studio. I have seen a number of Coldplay concerts on Youtube and I think they seem better live then studio as well. I hope that I get to see them perform in a concert before they finish up.
