I saw Bowie at Glastonbury in 2000, which has gone down as one of the great Glastonbury performances. At the time I left after a few songs as I was bored and wanted to dance, going to see Basement Jaxx instead. I regretted it for years, until I listened to the live album that was released, and still didn’t think it was that great.

Radiohead in 2017 were my last Pyramid stage headliner - they were absolutely garbage for the first 45 minutes or so but something clicked and the last hour and a half was euphoric. Hit after hit after hit, and even a cheeky wee second encore of Creep and Karma Police to send everyone into the night happy. Lots of people headed off for something else in the first part of the set and missed a brilliant one.

As you say, the second half saved it. More than saved it really, it was great. I heard an interview with Ed O'Brien last summer in which he said that they'd got it wrong.

Left feeling euphoric about how good the rest of it was though so job done, but that could and should have been a classic set.
I think it was the crowd and the state of the event two weeks after, but their set at TRNSMT was terrible. Spent the set around coked up ********s wanting to fight but the crowd never seemed into it. Shame, as 'The Bends' was great.

I must have seen thousands of bands over the years from Deep Purple to David Bowie and The Clash to Adel. There will be lots of gems but my memory's not what it was. Two stick out.
Queen at Knebworth '86. That was probably the best live performance in ever for me.
The Specials comeback tour 2009 i think, O2 Academy Glasgow, the atmosphere just before they came on was pure electric. Never felt an atmosphere like that before or since. The misses who was with me, she disappeared to the bar with half an hour, by the time i'd caught up wither after a couple of encores she'd found about a dozen Hibbys and a good after concert sesh was had.TOP CASH BACK

Probably showing my age, but the best two gigs I’ve been to were in the last few years - Billy Joel’s sole UK gig at Wembley and the Paul Simon Farewell Tour in Glasgow.

The only other one I can think of was the pogues , might have been 2010ish. Sound was ace and MacGowan seemed a lot less drunk and back in the form I remembered from late 80s.

Richard Thompson in 1996 at the 3B Tavern in Bellingham (WA) was a standout for me.
I unexpectedly stumbled across a poster in the main street of this sleepy wee town advertising the gig that night. I’d seen him a few times over the years, but playing in a small bar with only Danny Thomson in accompaniment was something special. It was just so intimate with only about 50 patrons in attendance and an entry fee of ~$10....Amazing guitarist.
