READERS POLL 07 No.3: Best Live Experience

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A bit of a curious category in that obviously we've all been to different gigs. So by all means vote based on what you'd imagine the experience to be like!

[Poll #1105926]


I've generally gone for 'spectacle' over 'sound' on these where appropriate.

BATTLES: "Atlas" at the Empty Bottle, Chicago
CARTER USM: "Sheriff Fatman" at Brixton Academy
DAFT PUNK: "One More Time" in Turin
ENRIQUE: "Do You Know" in South Africa
GLASTONBURY: A performance from Glastonbury. And another one.
ROISIN: "Overpowered" in Rome
RUFUS: "Get Happy" in Paris


Coming up l8r: most horrible thing!! Feel free to add late nominations to all categories that haven't come up yet: http://community.livejournal.com/poptimists/489167.html

Tough choice between Glastonbury (which I went to) and Roisin (which I didn't, very very regrettably).

Yes, Glastonbury was particularly muddy this year, but it was still incredibly good fun, I've been three times and it really is quite a unique live experience, and most of my year's live highlights were there - especially Bjork's incredible set.

But having said that it wasn't as good as previous years (the mud really did seem to dampen everyone's enthusiasm), and so I went for Roisin instead as everything I've heard about it says I missed out big time.
