Only seen the Manic Street Preachers and Stereophonics; both were superb.

Manics are much better live than in the studio  :undecided:

The band that played at my university graduation party were also excellent; able to actually play instruments and sing!  Covered a variety of tracks across the generations  :smiley:

I've to too many gigs this year alone to try and choose a favourite live act that I've seen.

For this year, I'd say it's Miles Kane, I saw him 3 times (once from the side of a stage at a festival I was working at).
He never fails to disappoint.

Less than Jake were my favourite live. Although it was just an awesome weekend so my memory might be slightly skewed...

Alkaline trio were really tight as a band, the drummer never missed a beat either.

And for a show it would have to be reel big fish and goldfinger who played one after the other and then did a few songs together as it was the last night of their tour, was great!
Wouldn't be fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun?
