What concert have you last been to #3

i was just going to say- is there a thread on 'best concerts you've been to'? I haven't noticed one .... might be a good threadstarter
 
The Can Project last night at The Barbican.
In short, patchily great - with the orchestral rearrangement of One More Night being the highlight for me.
 
Alfresco Festival in Tunbridge Wells over the weekend.
Largely DJ based; but with excellent live sets from The Emperor Machine and Heretic.
For those into house, techno, and electronica, I'd thoroughly recommend it - ace music, a lovely site (though with an unpromising entrance to it), and a really friendly older crowd (i.e I wasn't the oldest there at 54). We'll certainly be going again next year.
 
Shriekback at the Shepherds Bush Empire last night.
Great gig, great audience (some had come a veeeeeeeeery long way for it), really tight band. I wasn't entirely convinced by the rearrangements of Lined Up and My Spine Is The Bassline, but the rest of it was top notch.
 
Syd Arthur on Sunday in Brizzle - were superb! As were local Brizzle band Cousin Kula supporting. If you like psych/prog rock...

Co-headliners Morgan Delft not really my cuppa though
 
Napalm Death, with support from Brujeria, Lockup and Power Trip - it was an interesting night!

I'm going to see them in Glasgow next month, that's one gig I need to remember my ear protection for.....
 
Schönberg's Gurrelieder at the Bridgewater Hall last Sunday. BBC Philharmonic *and* the Halle Orchestras, together with three choirs and 6 soloists. Mark Elder conducting. Not a fan of Arnie's atonal stuff, but his late-romantic style music was marvellous. A wonderful concert.
