That would've been a great concert. Love the stadium detail

My concert experiences have been pretty mainstream , enjoyed Inxs and Bruce Springsteen.

Bowie's a very nice chap - met him twice.

 

[James1970]

One of my favourite covers is another track from The Residents, probably their most 'listenable' track for those not tuned to their brilliance - This is a Mans, Mans, Mans World...it's so beautiful.

I've seen it a number of times.
The kids kept playing it, and playing it, and........

I reckon you'd like it.

Dire Straits- '86 (Brothers in Arms Tour)
But the Piano Men Face to Face in about '98 (?) was fantastic, too.

Never being a huge rap fan I prefer the Tricky version myself.

Remember Paul McDermott's version of Opps, I Did It Again?

There is, just feel like I'm spamming the thread so won't bother posting it. Think it was when Good News Week was on.

 

[darren forssman]

it isnt spamming, just sharing, what this musac thread is all about.

saves me looking it up as well.

It'll give you something to do.

Anyway, would it be fair to say Soft Cell's Tainted Love is better than the original by Gloria Jones or Elvis' version of Always on My Mind is better than Benda Lee's (actually, there are a few covers of that tune. I like the Pet Shop Boys version)?

Favourite concert? Blind Guardian for sure.

My favourite concerts would all be Oils gigs.
Green day was pretty cool.

The one that surprised me was Def Leppard.
The ones that disappointed were Bon Jovi and Sting.

 

[manboob]

Love me some oils. I remember travelling through the red centre pumping them on the stereo during my youth.

Bowie's a very nice chap - met him twice.

Get out! How does one get to meet David Bowie?
I remember hanging around waiting at the stage door at a concert once, hoping to meet the singer

Remember dancing to that song at discos a few times.
