Just reading through some fantastic lists above....
Gryphon- that's amazing you've met Al Stewart. One of scotland's finest songwriters/musicians! Did you ever get to see the late great John Martyn live? Also, Dire Straits- wow! Which tour was it?
Crazy Horse- Would have loved to seen Pearl Jam live in their heyday. Loved every album up until the recent 'Backspacer' one which just sounds far too poppy in comparison to their previous work. I thought the self-titled 'avocado' album prior to the current one was an overlooked masterpiece.
Tiggi- woah! Far too many to mention all but The Blues Band I am going to see for first time in February. Also when did you see Neil Young? Surprised at the Britpop inclusions there, I never thought that would have been your thing! Pulp & Ride are both great bands though but 'These Animal Men'!?- I got some of their tracks on download and let's just say they left a lot to be desired! One of the less serious bands of that genre.
Me- I only started going to gigs back in September but have already racked up a huge amount of gigs in that short time. Here they are in order;
Robin Trower (1st ever gig)
Ricky Warwick & New York Alcoholic Anxiety Attack (spent most of Warwick's set talking with the latter!)
Ian Hunter & The Rant Band
Walter Trout (2 times in space of 3 days!)
Steve Reich & Icebreaker (latter was advertised as Philip Glass (:mad
but instead was a group playing his 'Music With Changing Parts' composition. Still very good though!)
The Unwinding Hours/RM Hubbert/Twilight Sad (all scottish artists- went to this on my 21st b-day)
Robert Plant & The Band Of Joy
Kodo Drummers
Francis Dunnery
Anderson/Wakeman Project
Edwyn Collins
Hugh Masekela & Mahotella Queens
Brubecks play Brubeck (Dave Brubeck's 3 sons Darius, Chris & Dan along with sax player Dave O'Higgins)
Cast (Liverpudlian lesser known Britpop band of the 1990s- recentley reformed!)
So, 16 in total in the space of 3 months! Most of the above I've written about in my infamous blog :wink:.
