Dancing being such a vital part of music of course...ask Mozart.

Bro on bass, son on drums, daughter on keyboards, me falling on guitar - christmas eve 1995. (Oh, cat on vocals - or was that me?)

Black Sabbath - Secret warm up gig at Aylesbury Civic Centre 6th June 2005.

Marillion - most of the dates on the Not Quite Xmas Tour, but Utrecht stands out for me (They played well over 3 hours!)

My son has a pink guitar! He already thinks he's Barney! we have to dance around the house pretending we're live in concert!

New Order at Brixton. Best gig EVER, and i've been to hundreds through the years. Hyde Park was excellent. Crosby, Stills and Nash - MEN, the day after Hyde park, rocked too. Went with my Dad, was a brillinat concert. Killers- Brixton. Short set, but to hear Mr Brightside- well worth it. Kylie- MEN, went with my bro for my birthday and was ok, apart for the hour in the middle- fucking boring. Good night though, what i remember.

None - this year anyway. No!!! went to a gig on Sunday, but I was a little hungover on the way back up....all young guys, very nervous and all that - sort of Coldplay type stuff and some covers of the aforementioned and Athlete - that sort of thing - but some great songs of their own - tbh - that was the best gig this year - and the one before that was the same band - unforunately, NO come third! Sorry.........

My favourite gig this year was Elt n J hn

Nah it wasn't. The real answer's NO at Hyde Park.

June - U2 (Croke Park) October - Killing Joke (Liverpool Carling Academy) October - KT Tunstall (Waterfront Hall) November - The Prodigy (Odyssey Arena) November - Franz Ferdinand (Odyssey Arena) Deceber - Foo Fighters (The Point)

Young Gods at the Barfly a few weeks ago. Magic, although I busted my glasses in the moshpit, thereby turning a free evening (was on guestlist thanks to Journo pal) into a very expensive one. Still, got to hang out with Franz afterwards.

Yes, I can lig with the best.

I should add Kraftwerk at Werchter to my list of best gigs in 2005.

Maya,

don't play with me, unless it's for real :p

Check your mail.

i went to 3 gigs this year. sad, but an improvement on last year's ZERO. new order, the beat and duran duran (and a local metal band--my ex-roomie is friends with them, but they don't really count). oh, and hooky's DJing in orlando. not really a gig, per se.

new order by leaps and bounds. although hearing 'a view to a kill' with the orlando symphony orchestra playing in the background was pretty awesome. :D

New Order The Beat Duran Duran

You can't mean'The Beat' as in early 80's go-feet label The Beat surely? Answer the question before I make a prat of myself!:)

I remembered another one:

Iggy and the Stooges, Bumbershoot Festival, Seattle

...and now I'm looking ahead to Hooky's DJ set at Neumos in Seattle on Jan. 16th! Roll on.....

I think the Agent is genuinely talking about our Beat, but weren't they called the Engerlish Beat on those shores, cos they already had their own group called the Beat.

However, I believe there's two versions of our original Beat operating now! Rankin' Roger (and his son) front the UK version, and the Americans have their own beat fronted by Dave Wakelin, cos he lives Stateside now.

I've seen Roger's version a couple of times this year. Neville Stapes performed with them at Glastonbury and, as well as their own tracks, they cover the likes of Rock the Kasbah (in a 2-tone stylee).

Luvverly bit of nostalgia.

Really? Brilliant! I used to be in love with Dave Wakelin - a real live Brummie living over 'there'? Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs...............

Rankin' Roger.... oh, the memories are all flooding back now, of those carefree moments........like the one where I went to see them at the Bingley Hall in Brum. It was used for many events; unfortunately the night of the concert co-incided with a cattle show - I kid you not! There wasn't enough time to 'clear up' so they placed matting on the floor over what was presumably cow dung. After about 20 minutes when everyone had been dancing go-feet stylie, the place had an aroma, which wasn't exactly pleasant...........ah, those were the days!

I'm going to go and hunt down my pink and black memoirs and see how long I can do 'the' dance before oxygen is required............

exactly as al said. the beat as in early 2tone, 'mirror in the bathroom,' 'i confess' 'stand down margaret,' 'sooner or later,' et cetera. none of this 'english beat,' 'charlatans UK,' 'london suede' nonsense. and i don't know of 'the other beat' anyway!

p.s. dave wakeling looked fantastic and was in fine form! he was bantering with the audience the whole time; i'd love to have a drink in the pub with him--seems like an interesting and fun character.

Apart from NO at the Apollo and Hyde Park I would say Gorillaz at Manc Opera House. U2 short set at Live 8.

Saw Kraftwerk in the previous year and they were excellent. I remember Hooky mentioning seeing them somewhere in Europe, so I wonder if that was his favourite gig.

New Order - Brixton 10 Feb 2005

eh? 10th feb?

New Order and the Chems in Oakland was tops.

Gang of Four were the best thing at Coachella for me, got bored listening to Jem, Fiery Furnaces were decent, rather see them in a club, and walking past the tent where The Bravery were playing was enough for me.

Los Lobos in my town, playing a lot of their other Spanish-language tracks to an audience who only wanted to hear La Bamba.....have always liked these guys for doing what they want to do.....and not what the record company or the general public wants.

Sigur Ros/Amina in Vancouver Jandek in NYC Dirty Three/Jackie-O Motherfucker in San Francisco Sunburned Hand of the Man in San Francisco Slint reunion in san francisco Slint reunion in seattle Unrest reunion in Washington DC Mogwai at All Tomorrows Parties UK Gang of Four in san francisco The Go-Betweens in San Francisco The Wedding Present in San Francisco Autechre in San Francisco Superpitcher in Seattle New Order/Chems in Oakland LCD Soundsystem in Seattle Fennesz in Seattle

My one and only...

New Order, May, Chicago

Christ not seen that many gigs this year,it would be a more impressively long list of NON-attendances to fave gigs this year.Nevermind. The ones I did see:-

LIVE 8 - Amazing day,spent about fourteen hours on our feet,with only breakfast and a hot-dog at dinner!

U2 at City of Manchester Stadium- Another great gig,till he started preaching.Much preferred him when he was MacPhisto when he sent himself up.

INTERPOL at The Manc. Academy- Another excellent gig,excellent new album to showcase..and they did NYC!!

JAMES BLUNT at Academy- AAARGH! No he is good live no matter what youse think of him!

LADYTRON at M/C Students Union- Low key showcase for Witching Hour.Brilliant gig.

AND>> NEW ORRRDDDAHHH!! at the Apollo- Ashamed to miss them at Hyde Park,but brilliant gig,brilliant day meeting NOOLers.

oh and HOOKY dj set at North Bar ,Blackburn Great to meet the geezer in the most smallest of clubs.Didn't recognise half the stuff he played,but he played a NO track and a Mash-up of Grace Jones/JD doing She's Lost Control.Good night out with my mate Banshee,his missus Teresa,Woman of Substance,Wayne,Edd Boland and Jake Dudek.
