Concerts and festivals
As I have said before music is a huge part of my life, both playing it and listening to it.  But over the years I have seen many bands, some good, some less though.  But my enjoyment never ceases.  The ability of people to stand and play instruments live to generate music is something which I always admire.

In years gone by, in other words before smartphones and with, shall we say, less clear recollection, I watched many concerts which I will not detail here, but some of the acts I've seen prior to 2008 include

Oasis - (numerous times including once watched through an open fire exit door in Birmingham in 1997)
Happy Mondays - great live band and absolutely off their rockers
Doves - talented musicians who gave a great show
Charlatans - under rated pioneers of Brit pop who get repeatedly overlooked
Ocean Colour Scene - great band, even better live
Cast - another great band, my god 90's music was good!!
Black rebel motor cycle - I think I missed the memo on this as I didn't get it
Paul McCartney - when he played Beatles songs live in many years, its the beatles, by a beatle, of course it was great
Eric Clapton - in my opinion when body work and different styles considered, the greatest guitarist of them all, heaven
Green Day - good show, from what I remember!!
Goldie looking chain - it was lunchtime, at a festival, let's move on
Dropkick Murphy's - didn't know who they were when I watched them at Reading, blown away, electric frickin bagpipes!!!!
Juliette and the licks - not for me thanks, but still entertaining
Arcade Fire - trying too hard for me, just play the music, no need to use a crash helmet for percussion!!
Subways - loved their one song, still play it in the car, was time filling at a festival and wasn't displeased
Pixies - I'll give this one a miss thanks!!
Baby shambles - great energy, good show, average tunes and a circus show of a frontman, (at this time!) 
Kasabian - another that I've never really got I think, great musicians, good show, didn't do it for me though, sorry just an opinion
Kings of Leon - good old fashioned rock and roll, hipsters before it cool , enjoyed them
Killers - Great songs, good show, good time, 'nuff said
Iron Maiden - always keep an open mind, lets move on
Marilyn Manson - I like him music, his stage show was different, his fans are a sight to behold

Neil Diamond - 10th June 2008 - National Indoor Arena Birmingham -

Who doesn't love Neil Diamond, he always been my guilty pleasure, and I won't expand on my family connection.  My then fiancee thought I was joking when I told her how much I loved him, er no, I don't joke about the diamond!!  So as a birthday treat she got us tickets to see him.  I would say we were comfortably the youngest in the crowd by decades, but that doesn't stop you enjoying songs like I'm a believer (yes the monkees song, which he wrote), coming to America, forever in blue jeans and of course the epic Sweet Caroline (ba ba ba).

I loved this concert and even the soon to be Mrs T enjoyed herself and was up boogieing by the end
